This song got to number 2 in August 1963.

Thankfully, the Beatles soon came along.
I thought he said Lynyrd Skynyrd and did a double take
sharelol - definitely not
sharenyctc7, it is very understandable why you might think that Allan Sherman said Lynyrd Skynyrd is this song.
You see, the actual lyrics, according to https://lyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Allan_Sherman:Hello_Muddah_Hello_Fadduh! are ...
"I went hiking with Joe Spivy
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner."
Anyway, in the summer of 1963 I was eleven years old at a summer camp in Vermont, so I remember this song well.
I also remember another rather weird song from Allan Sherman titled ...
Don't Buy the Liverwurst - https://youtu.be/tFs6IoTM214
Words to live by, I must say. ;-)
If you seen the Skynyrd doc "If I Leave Here Tomorrow", they partly credit this tune as creating a catch-phrase "it must have been Leonard Skinner" that the guys used when they were young.
Then having a Gym teacher with a similar name was just the clenching that it was an omen for the name of the band.
Watch the Doc and you'll see them explain it.
Now we know why it's liverwurst and not liverbest.
