When I was a little kid my grandmother had some 78 and 45 records with Yogi Yorgesson singing various comedy songs.

That "halibut" one, and more, including two Christmas songs, here:

Loads of great stuff at the Internet Archive.

I'm listening to some Jean Shepherd (the radio raconteur who wrote and narrated "The Christmas Story" movie about "Ralphie" and the "Red Rider" B-B gun) right now:

Ah...I used to listen to Shep’s radio show and I bought a few CDs of the shows a few years back. He was a real treasure. It was on a NY station (WNBC or WOR??) and I had to sneak my old Silvertone radio under the covers so my parents wouldn’t know I was listening to the radio late on school nights.
