Count me as another who was struck by the strangeness of the Napoleon XIV song, "They're Coming To Take Me Away" in 1966. It was immediately one of my 45 rpm purchases and I played it a lot. So much in fact that my Mom told me, "One more time, and they'll be coming to take YOU away". She wasn't laughing, either.
