Dr. Demento featured “I Owe a Lot to Iowa Pot,” which Samuels recorded under his own name. Samuels also wrote “The Shelter of Your Arms” for Sammy Davis, Jr.

An icon of Western culture has left us. RIP.

I remember Rush playing that for Perot. Good times.

That recording should be the official song of the “woke”.
And ‘twould be much better for the world if we actually did “take them away”.

Post 3 is the B side, the song played backwards.

“They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!,”
Used to hear that song on Dr. Demento. I had no idea it was made all the way back in the '60s.

Only time I ever heard this on the radio was on the Demento show in the early 70’s. Then he would play Fish Heads or Please, Please Me by Will Robinson! Now it’s all on YouTube and its real, not just in your head like you thought for the last 30 or so years.

I remember it being played on the radio when it first came out in 1966. We had a 45 of it around the house for years, which is how I knew that the B side was the song played backward. Used to listen to Dr. Demento every week for a few years in the mid-70s, too, but I think that show’s long gone.

Should have been the theme song for Joe Stupids inauguration
