They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!

This "song" came out in the US in the summer of 1966. It was kind of a novelty, then after a few weeks it fell of the charts because most radio programmers were uncomfortable with it for various reasons. It was quickly pulled in my local area because right during this time, Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses in Chicago, which wasn't terribly far from where I lived, and the song bothered a lot of people. The "B" side of the single is simply the "A" side played in reverse.
It's some weird shit, but hell, it was the 1960s.

Weird, yeah.
I considered it my theme song for several years. But then I lived just outside Washington DC where I guess it was more appropriate.
