A Minnesota newspaper claims this is the dumbest song of all time but I disagree!
A writer for a Minnesota newspaper called the “Morrison County Record” asked his readers to name the DUMBEST SONGS OF ALL TIME.
With their help, he came up with a list of the Top . . . or I guess BOTTOM . . . 40. And it turned out to be a pretty decent list. Check out the “Bottom” 20 . . .
1. “They’re Coming to Take Me Away”, Side B by Napoleon XIV (1966) (This was just the song played backwards. It appeared on the B-side of the single.)
2. “Louie, Louie” by the Kingsmen (1963)
