This is my Dad's all-time most hated record. My brother and I could get him to yell, "TURN THAT DOWN!" real fast with this one!

The flip side of the original 45 was the same song just played in reverse. We first heard They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! in a record shop in Dallas, Texas, coming back from vacation in July 1966.
