@JonPurpleHaze, Allan Sherman was an American comedy writer, television producer, and song parodist, best known for his novelty song parodies in the early 1960s. His work often parodied popular songs of the time with comical and cleverly written lyrics. Sherman's most famous song is probably "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," a humorous take on a child's letter from camp, set to the tune of Amilcare Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours."

Comparing Allan Sherman to other artists depends on the context:

1. **Musical Style**: Sherman's style was unique for its time, focusing on parody and comedy within music. He might be compared to "Weird Al" Yankovic, who became famous in the 1980s and beyond for a similar style of musical parody. Both artists share a talent for clever wordplay and satire, though their musical eras and the styles of music they parody are different.

one of the newer tv channels shows 60s/70s shows, recently saw Allan Sherman on Carol Burnett Show

He was playing her psychiatrist who turns out to be nuttier than her

@JonPurpleHaze, When discussing "adult movie songs," I'm assuming you're referring to songs from movies with mature themes or soundtracks from films that are not suitable for children, rather than songs from adult films in the pornographic sense.

Here's a list of some memorable songs from movies with adult themes:

1. "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers - Featured in "Ghost" (1990)
2. "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" by Urge Overkill - Featured in "Pulp Fiction" (1994)
3. "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel - Featured in "Say Anything..." (1989)
4. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston - Featured in "The Bodyguard" (1992)
5. "Lose Yourself" by Eminem - Featured in "8 Mile" (2002)
