Mr Custer

Mr. Custer is a comical song about a soldier's plea to General Custer before the climactic Battle of the Little Bighorn against the Sioux, to allow him to stay behind, because he had a bad dream about the battle.

Channa Mation brings to life this soldier in this amusing cartoon to entertain and please young and old alike.

I saw Larry Verne perform this on American Bandstand on TV in 1960! It reached #1 on the charts.

I’m 64 and this is the first time hearing this song. And I love listening to 50’ 60’s 70’s and 80’s music.

I'm 70. Yeah, I remember this. Mt Dad had a record player and this record, along with "Running Bear" were two we wore the grooves off of, we played them so often.

Wonderful memories as a kid with a Sears pocket transistor radio ... Thank you

I remember this song when I was little. I am Native and Spanish American. My family owned a trading post on the Santa Fe Trail. The calvary would rest there. Horses would be in the coral. I grew up bringing water from the river, and I am 66 years old. I have lots of stories. But the song brought memories.

My late parents hated the song MR.Custer. Today it would not be recorded and played on the radio because it’s offensive. George Custer was a stupid idiot who disobeyed his superiors that told him to set camp up 20 miles from where the Sioux village was and wait for other troops & supplies to arrive. But Custer didn’t listen. Sitting Bull is a great American, so is Crazy Horse another great American.

[terereynolds]

I remember hearing this song when I was a little girl, it made me laugh because of his voice, I’m actually Native American and Scottish, Native mom Scottish dad.

Back in the '60s my brother and I worked at making this into a parity. Please Mr. Johnson.
