re: yiddish/english cheeseball classics?

Yakov,
    Most Mickey Katz tunes are parodies of hit tunes of the time. In terms of 
the tunes that you mentioned their is the "Sheik of Avenue B." I am not sure 
who originally recorded it, but Pete Sokolow and the Original Klezmer Jazz 
Band covered it. 
    Also keep your eyes out for Seymour Rechtzeit recordings, many of them 
are "pop" tunes which his wife Miriam Kressyn translated for him.
