Mr. Custer

Mr. Custer

"Mr. Custer" is a novelty song, sung by Larry Verne, and written by Al DeLory, Fred Darian, and Joseph Van Winkle. It was a number-one song in the United States in 1960, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the issue dated October 10, 1960, and remained there for one week. It is a comical song about a soldier's plea to Custer at the climactic Battle of the Little Bighorn against the Sioux, which he did not want to fight.[1]

"Mr. Custer" was also a No. 12 hit in the UK for Charlie Drake in 1962.
