I've always loved this one by John Leyton *because* of the death theme! http://youtu.be/7e4JXwd7XMo Wiki-god he say "The song is one of the most noted of the 'death ditties' that populated the transatlantic pop charts in the early to mid-1960s". It's the only one I know. And... "In 2012 the journalist Tom Ewing described the song as "the weirdest and most gripping British record to hit the top yet", with Leyton's vocal "clutching at your sleeve, desperate to tell a story of loss and madness. Meek turns the drums into phantom horsemen and fills the record's dark spaces with melodrama – a keening female voice on the chorus rounds the effect off."[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Remember_Me#cite_note-5"; Far out, man!
