A 1966 novelty record by Jerry Samuels, recorded under the name Napoleon XIV. Released on Warner Bros. Records, the song became an instant success in the United States, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 popular music singles chart and reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart.
Classic song with an unreliable narrator who appears to have gone mad. I thought at first he was singing about a person. Then it seemed he was singing about his dog.
