dbo:abstract "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)" is a novelty song recorded by Allan Sherman. The melody is taken from the ballet Dance of the Hours from the Opera "La Gioconda" by Amilcare Ponchielli, while the lyrics were written by Allan Sherman and Lou Busch. Allan based the lyrics on letters of complaint which he received from his son Robert who was attending Camp Champlain, a summer camp in Westport, New York. In 2020, the song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The song's mention of "Leonard Skinner," a boy at the camp who "got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner," was an inspiration for the name of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, although the band's name was also inspired by a physical education instructor of the same name. (en) "Brev från kolonien" är Cornelis Vreeswijks version från 1965 av parodi "". Melodin kommer från Amilcare Ponchiellis "Timmarnas dans" från operan La Gioconda. Cornelis Vreeswijks inspelning av melodin, från albumet Visor och oförskämdheter (1965), låg på Svensktoppen i tio veckor under perioden 10 april–12 juni 1965, med fjärdeplats som bästa resultat där. Vreeswijks version har åtta verser. Verserna om hur fröken försvann och att kompisen har "kröken" (verserna 6 och 7 i 10-versversionen) har kommit till i efterhand. Vreeswijks text skiljer sig från originalet. I den engelska texten beklagar sig brevskrivaren över hur jobbigt han har det. Den svenska texten visar istället hur lägerdeltagarna driver sina ledare till vansinne och lever ett busliv utan like. (sv)
