August 8, 1966-Forty eight years ago today the song "They're Coming to take Me Away, Ha Ha" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Released by an artist mysteriously named Napoleon the 14th, in reality it was record producer Jerry Samuels. The public loved the novelty song but a follow-up and album with a similar theme both bombed. It seems the insanity approach works once, but not again. Today's forgotten oldie... They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha!!
