@hollywoodwasp You've got it all wrong... or perhaps you are attempting a wee bit of a sarcastic joke. First off my dad had no control over what Era wanted him to do. Second, he only had two tunes that charted and both of them were long before this one came out.
@JazzcatSings The only 2 songs I remember by Larry was "Please Mr. Custer" and "The Monster Mash". This song would have done very well had there not been the Injun attacks on record stores, hateful smoke signals and some unsubstantiated reports of scalping occurring throughout the Southwest. Wait, I may be thinking of the Dallas Mavericks NBA Championship ticket scalpers. Whatever, I will take further action on your report. If u need any further info, please refer to case # 43-69779362-s4511
@JazzcatSings Larry recorded under 2 names for various reasons. First, he didn't wanna be known as the "Custer" especially after messing up with "Please Mr. Geronimo". It an unknown positivlty true rumor that he and Boris Pickett was the same person, but up until now, has been some gig secret and I don't know why. As for the Cryptikers, those were the Pacemakers from Gerry and the Dakotas prior to changing their name to the Peacemakers.
@9thWardJukeBoxAnX Dude, I don't know where you get your information. What you are saying is a crock full. He is NOT Boris Pickett. He only recorded under his name, Larry Verne ( Verne was his middle name. He dropped his last name, which was Erickson) He flat did NOT record the Monster Mash and he never recorded a tune called Please Mr. Geronimo or Sitting bull or anything else.
Get your facts straight and quit spreading false garbage about my dad. Sheesh!
@ttstango2 You forgot the best part.....it's fun. I wish I could grab those little cock roaches in the United Nations by their throats and make them listen to this stuff all day through their headphones. World Peace would break out!
;-0 I love this version!!!

@9thWardJukeBoxAnX He did not do "The Monster Mash". That was Bobby 'Boris' Pickett & The Cryptkickers.

Don't know why you can't admit you are wrong about the name of the tune. Sheesh.
Era records lists it as:
RETURN OF MR. CUSTER/RUNNING THROUGH THE FORREST - ERA 3139
Larry Verne is my father.

Don't worry about proving things (unless you'll win a bet-haha)....keep sharing the music and the knowledge! It's much appreciated!
