Brand new item, factory sealed and ready to ship fast from the U.S.

Step into the wonderfully bizarre world of Napoleon XIV with They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!, the unforgettable 1966 novelty album from songwriter and producer Jerry Samuels. Built around one of the strangest hit singles of the decade, this collection blends dark comedy, spoken-word performances, unusual sound effects, and experimental recording techniques.

The legendary title track became a pop culture sensation with its pounding percussion, escalating vocal delivery, and unforgettable refrain. Beyond that notorious recording, the album offers an eccentric assortment of musical oddities, including "I'm in Love with My Little Red Tricycle," "Photogenic, Schizophrenic You," "Marching Off to Bedlam," and "Doin' the Napoleon."

Other highlights include "Bats in My Belfry," "Dr. Psyche, the Cut-Rate Head-Shrinker," and "The Nuts on My Family Tree," showcasing Samuels' delightfully unconventional approach to comedy and music.

Reissued by Needlejuice Records, this white cassette edition features Dolby B noise reduction, bonus tracks, and a download card. A fascinating piece of 1960s novelty music history, perfect for collectors of comedy recordings, experimental pop, and wonderfully offbeat musical curiosities.
