My Son, the Folk Singer is an album by Allan Sherman [monophonic W-1475/stereophonic WS-1475], released by Warner Bros. Records in 1962. On the album sleeve, the title appears directly below the words "Allan Sherman's mother presents."
The album, recorded before a live audience, is filled with Jewish culture references and in-jokes. His second album followed suit, while later albums' parodies were more generic.
Almost all the songs on the album contain some Jewish reference, or at least a main character or characters with apparently Jewish names.
