When I was just a kid this song hit the airwaves. In all these years gone by no song has had this much controversy. It was banned several times especially by mental health advocates. The kids from Marist and Vassar Colleges would drive up to the mental hospitals and blare this song when it came on the radio and then the patients and attendants would chase them away.

For you youngins out here who've not heard this song it's a classic. When songs were fun and just the fun of them would get them banned but hits at parties.

what was even better that the flip side of the single was the same song, played backwards - what's scary is that I still remember the "words" to part of it :1orglaugh

Look up 'Tiny Tim'

Why does this seem to me like a fitting song for you to like??.... :uhoh

Now I know why your posts are so strange.

they used to play that a lot on doctor demento when i listened to him as a kid.

I have actually no idea about this song, but it's a very interesting info to know.

If I remember correctly the Artist was: Napolean Bonapart

original recording is credited to Napoleon XIV

that was my dad's fave song back then.

OHH MY... god does that age me... I quote and sing that song all the time but no one ever gets the reference... HAHA

I also remember it back in the Doctor Demento days...
