I was talking with coworkers recently and they helped solve a music-related mystery that's been bugging me for YEARS.

My grandparents had a console record player, and when my cousins and I went out to the farm to see them they'd let us play records. This is where I first heard the Napoleon XIV song "They're Coming to Take Me Away." There was another record I remembered us liking that mentions "shoot the other two dead" and I could never find what song it was. [1/2]

I searched off and on over the past two decades, but I never had enough data to find the song. Fast-forward to me at work recently, we got on the topic of the Napoleon XIV song and I mentioned this one I can't find. One coworker does some digging and found Danny Kaye's "Triplets." One listen later and yep, that was it!!!
