CHARLIE DRAKE "mr.custer" B/W "glow worm" 1960
a british actor,comedian,writer and performer of novelty songs...
Drake actually co-wrote Bobby Darin's first hit "splish splash" if youre interested in trivia!
as previously stated, Drake performed novely songs,
"A" side is obviously about the infamous Cavalry leader with the same name...its entertaining slapstick stuff
i havent heard that one for years so i thought it was funny this time round, if i heard it again(which is usually the case with novelty tracks) i probably wouldnt like it much
"B" side...more slapstick stuff, but i dont like this one
the single peaked at #12 in the UK
