"High School Ooh Oooh" itself is a poke at Tommy Facenda's gimmicky 1959 hit "High School U.S.A." "Clyde Ankle" is a poke at Paul Anka. The "Seig Heil" chant itself must have been shocking for Top 40 dee jays, particularly since a Jewish comedian like Stan Freberg has poked fun of it in the recording.
@@alansmithee7730 Woah. The name "Freberg" sounds Jewish. That is a shocker. That would make the "Seig Heil" chant even more frightening than funny in today's uptight, sensitive world.
My dad bought this (in the UK) at the time and I grew up with it in the early 70s :)
Peaked at just No. 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960 or 1961. A very interesting novelty record. A lot of cool spoken word comedy stuff.

@@robertorick6383 Stan Freberg wasn't Jewish... his father was a Baptist minister. That might make it more shocking, though...
