60s novelty song

[j***@gmail.com]

I have been trying to find the title and lyrics of a novelty song I heard, I believe, in the 60s. Perhaps someone here can help me. The song starts out detailing the funeral of a Casper Milquetoast-type guy, whom everyone thought was meek and mild. But as the song went on, more and larger groups of women kept arriving, and we are left to conclude this guy was anything but meek and mild when away from home. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

It sounds a bit familiar, but I can't think what it is. It's not "A Dying Business" by the Chad Mitchell Trio, which is also about a funeral. Maybe try posting your question in "The Dr. Demento Show - OFFICIAL" group on Facebook. There are more people reading that these days than rec.music.dementia.

I don't see offhand how I would do that. Is there a link for joining up?

Let me know if this link works:

Jeff, that link works to an extent. I get to Dr. Demento's website. There are two links there to Join Group. When I click either of those, the upper link changes to Pending and stays there. Later, it changes back to Join Group, and I am still unable to post on the site.

Well that's weird. I'm not an admin of the group, but I'll forward this to Chris and see what he has to say.

Chris asked for your name so he can be sure to approve you next time you request to be added to the group.

The link you gave me - https://www.facebook.com/groups/drdemento/ - appears to be broken or no longer in existence. I get an error message when I click it. So at this time, I can not even ask to be approved.

That's weird, it works for me. I copied and pasted the link from your post. I wonder if it doesn't work unless you're logged into Facebook. I tried using it in a browser where I wasn't logged in and it prompted me to login. Do you have a Facebook account? What are you getting when you go to that link?

I do have a Facebook account and am logged in as we speak. When I click the link, I get this message:

That is very bizarre. I don't pretend to be an expert at Facebook. What if you do a group search for The Dr. Demento Show - Official, does it come up then?

Did you ever get into the Facebook group, or did you give up?
