You can tell in all of their songs, they are having so much fun playing their music. You can feel that in their music, that happy positivity, I love it, it is like a hidden element to their music.
"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" is 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 No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 popular music singles chart on 13 August and reaching No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart. The lyrics describe the effect on the mental health of an individual after a break-up. The main character is seemingly addressing an ex-girlfriend, and describes his descent into madness after she has left him. However, the last verse of the song alludes to his dog running away.His paranoid thinking makes him believe he is being pursued by "men in clean white coats" (i.e., psychiatric attendants) who are coming to transport him to the funny farm (mental hospital) and welcomes them as an end to his misery.
I had the 45 rpm record. It was pretty bizarre back when it came out. I prefer the original recording. You could hear the lyrics much better on the original.
LYRICS They're coming to take me away, ha They're coming to take me away They're coming to take me away, ha They're coming to take me away They're coming to take me away, ha They're coming to take me away They're coming to take me away, ha They're coming to take me away Remember when you ran away And I got on my knees And begged you not to leave Because I'd go berserk?

I am very pleased that a band I enjoy listening to happened to cover an old childhood favorite of mine; and not only that, they rocked the shit out of it.
+fathogwrestler Personally, I find the original much more, eh, eerie. Being little more than the melody and a few background sounds, plus the way his voice steadily got higher really actually made it sound as though he was going insane!
When I was growing up my Dad would play the original on vinyl. It was the weirdest song ever but it stuck in my head. Takes me home hearing this cover. lol Love it.
I wish I could scream that much- Also a lot of people have been hating on this band I think it’s good I like aggressive stuff Like people have been calling them ugly and saying that they have no talent
I love this group!!! I got on a tour bus and I've seen them in concert toooo many times and I've drank with them after shows!!! They are amazing human beings
It's just a bunch of insecure elitists hating on them. They are just trying to be gatekeepers and probably scared of beautiful women at the same time. It's haters plain and simple. Most of the hate has went away as the band has evolved, but there is always be those few that never grew up.
I thought that I wouldn't be able to take this song seriously because of the original when I first read the title, but I actually really like it. They managed to make it sound full of desperation, the way that I think a person who has lost their mind would be, and that's what makes it good.
lol, had this stuck in my head and was mumbling "they are coming to take me away ha ha" with a smile and bobing head, after some time i noticed my coworker looking rather concerned, so i sent him here. ;)
+tom duke Reminds me of the time I got Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" stuck in my head for like a week. It could have been worse- I could have been on the elevator at work singing "let the bodies hit the floor. . ."
I love this band. Every video I've watched of them, it looks like they're having a blast, and this one especially they look like they're having so much fun. That, and I really envy how low the brunette's voice can go--that would hurt my throat trying to get down into that range.
yeah i remember hearing this song for the first time on the dr. demento show and loved it, this version it took me a while to get to love it thou cause at first i didnt think this song should be sung metal but now i love it go figure lol
This, They're coming to take me away (Napoleon XIV), Fire (Arthur Brown) and How much is that doggy in the window (Patti Page) were my favourite childhood songs. They keep hanging around in my head till today.
I don't care what the hell you say because I know you are trying to get attention. They have a record deal and have sold out concerts for a reason and you obviously are an angry PMSing 12 year old who is going through their scene phase. Thank you for expressing your illogical opinion.
It's funny how pathetic you sound. These people are artists and we don't give a fuck if you think they're shitty or not. The more you talk crap about them, the more they are going to make music. Stop being a whiny little bitch and go listen to your generic bands that sound like cats giving birth before you go comment on something that has uniqueness. Don't even try and make a comeback on how they aren't unique or that they're shit because we don't care. Keep your fingers off the goddamn keyboard if all you say is bringdowns.
It doesn't mattter what you think about their lyrics, click off of the video if you don't like it. I'm not defending them, I am proving a point. No one should fucking say something about someone's music if they are doing what they want and they're happy. I am saying this for Justin Beiber, One Direction, and 5 Seconds of Summer. Even though I don't like their music, I don't talk shit about them and even those who do, they aren't stopping them from living their dream. This is not defense, it's proving a point.
Saw them live on the Revolver Golden Gods tour with, Devil You Know, Down and Black Label Society ...their screams are real and they put on a great show!
I like how the comments on almost every Butcher Babies video are mostly about how the girls dress. You do know that, when it comes to music videos/album streams, it's the Costume Designer that chooses the clothing right? The only time the artist/band really has any say over what is worn is mostly during live shows.
ToxSicEntertainment oh ik man it's absurd,maybe they just wanna dress that way? Ik a handful of girls that have bands and they all love getting to dress crazy outta pocket for the stage
It's pretty funny you think this is some kind of major production lol. Ever see them live? They always dress provocatively, it's what they do. They used to just wear nipple tape and not much down below either. They are a Wendy O Williams tribute band.
I started listening to this band when my uncle introduced me to their music. When I saw this was a thing, I screamed 😂 I love the original song and this band and I think this was an AMAZING cover
I heard the original song, the Nightcore version and now the metal version. All versions are so good it's amazing how well this song works with different genres
Napoleon XIV wrote this song describing the evolution of a insanity mind. This is a very nice cover. Even Mudvayne on the song "Internal Primates Forever" did a reference to Napoleon
In the song Internal Primates Forever there's a small part of the lyrics wich Chad Sing "They're come to take me away" and in the last time he sings this part he make a little smile like the original Napoleon' song. Sorry about my english brother
Dude, this song is just cringey and emo. The original was actually creepy because it has the cheery voice of the sing juxtaposing the creepy lyrics. This one is so on the nose and unsubtle, its just embarrassing.
to me it isn't creepy, just gives a nice thrill but I still smile while listening and watching the video, while the original was either creepy or boring, depending on the mood cause he sang it pretty calm and without much emotion.
+Victoria Vorhees There's no point I'm making its just my opinion and I know millions would disagree if I were to try and make one so I'm just gonna say it sucks in my opinion to each their own.
I really wanted to like this song because I actually think their instrument portion is kind of sweet, and the vocals are very reminiscent (to me, at least) of Otep. But I just couldn't get into it. Hope those who like it keep liking it and those that didn't find something else to enjoy

me and some of my friends are having people sign online too have them taken out of the band the two skanks. so two men can replace them and show them how it's done and NOT be a girl. you can say "they are not girly" REALLY go look at some of the things they wear and the hair styles and choices. retarded sluts only like this band because its "got two women slut singers"
+Jason Viper Hahaha! You think your shit signs will take them out of the band? The guys from BB doesn't give a fuck about your signs and shit! These chicks kick ass, and you are fucking stupid... So, stop dreaming.

Omg as soon as i heard this it became my favorite jam! I remember the original of this and hearing this is AMAZING!!!! i was never into this genre of music but you ladies have converted me somewhat! You guys rock!!
the song is about a guy mad at his dog calling him a mangy mut and it mentions the a.s.p.c.a in it these chicks just scream it the original is less effective to me
I had this on 45 when I was a teenager. My mom threatened to break it, I played it so much. The other side of the record was the same song backwards. This cover was so cool. I really enjoyed it will listen to more.
ash vs evil dead reminded me of the original lol so I just now stumbled onto this. as a metal cover its decent. still was waiting for the "ha ha hee hee ho ho" and sadly, it never came :(
Sarah Cunningham yeah i dont remembered the part about prescription drugs or i was waiting for the part the nice young men with there clean white coats
Jello Biafra does a wild version of this song with his band Lard. Like 8 min long. Will definitely drive one a little ways towards the funny farm. I recommend.
Remember when you ran away And I got on my knees And begged you not to leave Because I'd go beserk Well you left me anyhow And then the days got worse and worse And now you see I've gone Completely out of my mind And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa To the funny farm Where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men In their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa You thought it was a joke And so you laughed You laughed when I said That losing you would make me flip my lid Right? You know you laughed I heard you laugh, you laughed You laughed and laughed and then you left But now you know I'm utterly mad And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa I cooked your food I cleaned your house And this is how you pay me back For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds Ha! Well you just wait They'll find you yet and when they do They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A. You mangy mutt And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa They're coming to take me away ha-haaa ho-ho hee-hee To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men In their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa!
That scream red hair chic screamed "outta my mind!!" It was sick AF!! Best one so far by them.. Oh I love when Harly does her death voice. She looks like a seriously hot as hell possessed chica from evil dead! Love it
Derek Anderson This video is artwork, but the original song wasn't. It had no music, and no decent rhythm. It was just a snare drum, a siren, and oddly timed lyrics. I still liked it though.
***** Sorry for taking so long. I was just complaining about the timing because I could never get it right when trying to do karaoke. I agree about how the style of this version is too busy. It turned "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" into "Nightmare On Elm Street".
I really love ❤️ this band and I'm so old ĺike dirt. But I like a lot of different music. Just happened on them but I like it love it and if you don't like it don't lessen to it. No one gives a Frick what you like.
I met them at bloodstock open air and they are really nice, Heidi gave me a hug and Henry gave me a guitar pick, they are my fav band and I can’t wait for my first tattoo; it’s gonna be their logo on my wrist
I'm actually enjoying this cover. was looking up the actual song and stumbped onto this.
😂
It is a bit repetitve but still
Sarah Cunningham me too! it's cool
You should get Thier album s is fantastic trust me. U will love it
Sarahs Cunnin Same. I actually listened to the original before I listen to this.
You can tell in all of their songs, they are having so much fun playing their music. You can feel that in their music, that happy positivity, I love it, it is like a hidden element to their music.

I recall when it first came out on the radio. So nahhh, I prefer the "milder" original.
The song is about his dog running away
@@cel9225 nah, the original artist has debunked that. It’s just about going crazy over an ex.
Yup
I had the 45 rpm record. It was pretty bizarre back when it came out. I prefer the original recording. You could hear the lyrics much better on the original.
I get more scared the more they rage when they say “they’re coming to take me AWWAAAAYYYYYYYYY” 😭

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well, you left me anyhow
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind

They're coming
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me away
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid, right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad
They're coming to take me away ha ha

They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me away
Your home the one the bank foreclosed
You cried monogamy
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you paid me back
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy
Well you just wait they'll find you yet, and when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA you fucking mutt
To the happy home
They sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
To the loony bin with all you need prescription drugs
Like Thorazine, and lithium
Electric shock and insulin
To the fucking funny farm
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me
They're coming to take me
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me away
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming to take me away
They're coming to take me away
Thank you
💞
I wonder how long this took you to do
Thank you
@@shardaisantos1479 You actually think the person listen to the song and wrote it down??
I am very pleased that a band I enjoy listening to happened to cover an old childhood favorite of mine; and not only that, they rocked the shit out of it.
"I like it...its ...snappy"!
Original used to be played on Dr. Demento's show. this is a 50 year old song.
+fathogwrestler Personally, I find the original much more, eh, eerie. Being little more than the melody and a few background sounds, plus the way his voice steadily got higher really actually made it sound as though he was going insane!
+fathogwrestler Try singing the original sometime while keeping the rhythm (da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM,) - not very easy.
I noticed some lyrics were left out of this version that were on the original song.
I like this and the original Napoleon version. Other version in between meh..
and if you had it on 45 the flip side was literal.. it was the song backwards and the label printed in reverse.
The idea of females like this is what inspires me to go on with my dream as a female vocalist.
When I was growing up my Dad would play the original on vinyl. It was the weirdest song ever but it stuck in my head. Takes me home hearing this cover. lol
Love it.
I wish I could scream that much-
Also a lot of people have been hating on this band I think it’s good I like aggressive stuff
Like people have been calling them ugly and saying that they have no talent
Word ugly is what children use
I love this group!!! I got on a tour bus and I've seen them in concert toooo many times and I've drank with them after shows!!! They are amazing human beings
People probably hate on them because they kept the 2000s grunge look which i love!
It's just a bunch of insecure elitists hating on them. They are just trying to be gatekeepers and probably scared of beautiful women at the same time. It's haters plain and simple. Most of the hate has went away as the band has evolved, but there is always be those few that never grew up.
Uhh are they blind. As a bisexual female I would die if girls with their looks were ever interested in me
Was hoping to find a version like this!! But I miss the HAHA....its essential!
LaserGadgets it’s in there just not as clear
This is so fucking cool
This was my favorite growing up even my mom and older sister would sing it 😂😂 they took a childhood favorite and made it unforgettable
Damn just realized it was gone I agree
💀🤘

They're just as amazing and they played this song when I saw them live and dudee the live show was insaneeee
I actually enjoyed this! Carla and Heidi have awesome voices!
I love the original, but this is literally the best freaking thing that has entered my ears.
I just love how Henry and Chris are all creeped out, and Jason is over there like, "Hell yeah, creepy time."
These ladies to sing any lullaby and I'd be rocking out.
First time hearing them.Absolutely love what they did with this.I'm now a fan.
I enjoy this. They're both amazing at screaming, and are one of the best live performers I have ever seen.
Not enough people remember this one. Nice choice to resurrect for Halloween!
i listened right now the original one and i have to say it really bizarre and good hahaha!
yeah i remember hearing this song for the first time on the dr. demento show and loved it, this version it took me a while to get to love it thou cause at first i didnt think this song should be sung metal but now i love it go figure lol
THE ROCK FATHER Magazine right these girls are the best!! Tallented and sexy :)
This one is just weird
My mother has the original 45 single!

great remake I will play this DJRon

In the song Internal Primates Forever there's a small part of the lyrics wich Chad Sing "They're come to take me away" and in the last time he sings this part he make a little smile like the original Napoleon' song. Sorry about my english brother
actually the original artist wrote it because his dog ran away.
***** the original artist must have been a nutjob then because dogs don't laugh.....
Ha. I remember this song when I was a child in the early 70’s. It pops up into my life every decade or so. Great cover!
love it andt the link to plasmatics...... soo talented, and then yet your own universe... kudos
the original song was creepy but this is a hole new level this is the epiphany of discomfort
Tbh this one is more comfortable for me than the original witch I find more unsettling
Dude, this song is just cringey and emo. The original was actually creepy because it has the cheery voice of the sing juxtaposing the creepy lyrics. This one is so on the nose and unsubtle, its just embarrassing.

I really wanted to like this song because I actually think their instrument portion is kind of sweet, and the vocals are very reminiscent (to me, at least) of Otep. But I just couldn't get into it.
Hope those who like it keep liking it and those that didn't find something else to enjoy
Dan Kester I hear the Otep similarity too :)
Finally, someone who is actually smart and not rude when they say they don't like it.
This is an AWESOME VERSION!!!!
Needs moar bass in the kickdrum though.
How have I never heard this!! I love this cover!!!
I know I'm going get haters because of this but I like this cover
Funny farm cover!! I finally found a amazing cover of someone singing it
have you've seen death dance of the frog fish its a other good funny farm cover

So bad ass love it so mutch
thanks danisnotongeektøp
when girls scream like they do it shows they dont have any talent AT ALL. plus they use mic filters for alot of their new shit. #FUCKBB
me and some of my friends are having people sign online too have them taken out of the band the two skanks. so two men can replace them and show them how it's done and NOT be a girl. you can say "they are not girly" REALLY go look at some of the things they wear and the hair styles and choices. retarded sluts only like this band because its "got two women slut singers"
+Jason Viper Hahaha! You think your shit signs will take them out of the band? The guys from BB doesn't give a fuck about your signs and shit! These chicks kick ass, and you are fucking stupid... So, stop dreaming.

this hits different when you’ve actually been involuntarily hospitalized
Dang! That sucks, and I'm sorry!
yeah it does, it was cops then paramedics tho, not men in white coats.
SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE ORIGINAL!! Awesome job girls!!
Rian Power no, no they would not
Omg as soon as i heard this it became my favorite jam! I remember the original of this and hearing this is AMAZING!!!! i was never into this genre of music but you ladies have converted me somewhat! You guys rock!!
They act like more than a few women I've met at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.
How did my mother let me watch this 8-10 years old lmao
Holy crap, I knew this song would make be good in Metal form!
Omg our band instructor used to have us do this at pep rallies! this is awesome haha
the song is about a guy mad at his dog calling him a mangy mut and it mentions the a.s.p.c.a in it these chicks just scream it the original is less effective to me
I had this on 45 when I was a teenager. My mom threatened to break it, I played it so much. The other side of the record was the same song backwards. This cover was so cool. I really enjoyed it will listen to more.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU RAN AWAY AND I GOT ON MY KNEES AND BEGGED YOU NOT LEAVE ?? Yeah... THERE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY AHAHAH
this is cool and this is my favorite song in the world. 😘
+Jack Jameson its better than mainstream pop trash
***** you and them 4 other people have no life if you're gonna watch shit you don't like
+Ruthann Scritchfield
me too. I like at end of the song when she say "to the f***ing funnyfarm!!!" friend and I laughed at thet. 👍
ash vs evil dead reminded me of the original lol so I just now stumbled onto this. as a metal cover its decent. still was waiting for the "ha ha hee hee ho ho" and sadly, it never came :(
Sarah Cunningham yeah i dont remembered the part about prescription drugs or i was waiting for the part the nice young men with there clean white coats
Jello Biafra does a wild version of this song with his band Lard. Like 8 min long. Will definitely drive one a little ways towards the funny farm. I recommend.
I was wondering when this classic would make a comeback!! Im so fucking happy rightnow to see artists loved it as much as me
This is so great.
idk i think i'm in love with these girls ha ha, getting that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach
Your anthem when you’re 12 and think you’re ‘goth’
Ohhh memories
Literally just spat oatmeal. This comment is so true.
Thats sad..this isnt goth..its metal..big difference
But then you grow up and see the shit in the world and you become legit 🙃🔫
"Think" you're "goth"
Originally done by Napoleon XIV in 1960's. Played frequently on the Dr Demento radio show.
Fun fact: I was 8 years old when I listened to this and fell in love with it.
Heard the ending bit and when I realized it was a cover of this song I had to come hear the whole song.
I was not disappointed. They did a great job
This is the absolute best REMAKE I've ever heard!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 I sang this almost daily as a child. Ah fuck I just aged myself!!🤣🤣🤣
EXTREME! version of one of my favorite drunk songs :)
this is '90's level of EXTREME!
Love it, good stuff
they should cover "I Put A Spell On You"
GREAT version! I LOVE how they did it!!!!!!!
Sever black and blue hair really kicking off those Butcher Babies Carla vibes! ❤❤ *Sebastian the Crab voice* Stauhp Dat!
This sounds like (the way it's sung not so much the lyrics) something I'd expect to hear from Otep ... definitely nothing wrong with that
wow that was fascinating !
Love their new style.
They remind me of OTEP! lml
great cover song
Showed this to my uncle who was a fan of the original. I loved his response, "interesting 🤔" 🤣🤣🤣
Their voices are pretty good
Dear lord I love this, a severely underrated band, 👍👍💖💖💖
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ha-haaa ho-ho hee-hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa!
Banda incrivel esta, não é somente esta musica, são todas que escutei hoje desta impressionante banda .
Carla is such an awesome person!!!
What's the name of the song again?
Darude - Sandstorm
They're coming to take me away by Napoleon the IV th.
Pink Elephants on PARRAAAAAAADDE
Тёлочки - молодцы!!
That scream red hair chic screamed "outta my mind!!" It was sick AF!! Best one so far by them.. Oh I love when Harly does her death voice. She looks like a seriously hot as hell possessed chica from evil dead! Love it
This band is great live. Great mosh pit, great body surfing. I've been to a lot of metal concerts and their fans equal or exceed any.
If I listen to this whole song they're going to be coming to take me away to the mental institution
I can't believe that Femme Thrash is the only genre that had the guts to remake this demented 1966 classic.
I'm glad someone here is smart enough to know none of these shitty thrash metal bands created this creepy piece of artwork.
Derek Anderson
This video is artwork, but the original song wasn't. It had no music, and no decent rhythm. It was just a snare drum, a siren, and oddly timed lyrics. I still liked it though.
*****
Sorry for taking so long.
I was just complaining about the timing because I could never get it right when trying to do karaoke.
I agree about how the style of this version is too busy. It turned "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" into "Nightmare On Elm Street".
+Floymin Neuroticfish covered it years ago- and much better-- more in the spirit of the original.
Radio Ardilla
Thank you for the reference.
I really love ❤️ this band and I'm so old ĺike dirt. But I like a lot of different music. Just happened on them but I like it love it and if you don't like it don't lessen to it. No one gives a Frick what you like.
I love the original of this, but this is an awesome version glad I hit in on this today.
I met them at bloodstock open air and they are really nice, Heidi gave me a hug and Henry gave me a guitar pick, they are my fav band and I can’t wait for my first tattoo; it’s gonna be their logo on my wrist
By far the best rendition of this song I've ever heard.
