no, not the adam sandler song...the audio clip sounds like it came from the 1950s....think it talks about a boys summer camp? it used to play on the 80s music channel of the Dish satelite.

didn't recognize the name alan sherman...but played the song and obviously knew it....no that's not it. this song was an '80s song....i think it also had a sax (horn) that played throughout. besides the audio sample, i think it was an instrumental....th music was really awesome

Could it be The Suburbs "Music For Boys"?

Come on over to our valley, where boys run free
Run through the lush green meadows in your shorts

Or something like that....

Mostly instrumental with sax...

Ya, him (A. Sherman)... Adam Sandler did not do that song first! A Dr. Demento favorite!
