  • Its not about a dog sillies. He is trying to imply that he is calling her a bitch (for all of you who don't know the real meaning of bitch, a female dog.)

  • @Erinesmee i thought that but it turns out he really is singing about a dog. the record cover even pictures him standing next to a fire hydrant with one of those invisible dog leads.

  • they're laughing at me. *snaps* the butterflies are laughing at me, too. time toburn the world down. least i has my kitty!!

  • there comes a time in every case of insanity that the "victim" suddenly realizes A) that they are insane, and B) that they cant do a damn thing about it. once at that point, they stay aware and enjoy life much more because of it. im there... :)

  • O.o mmk he doesn't sound as evil as last time

  • O_O wth?

  • Hahahahhahahhahahaha!!!! I love just staring at the pretty screen!! Did anyone else just stare at the video while it played?! I sure love my cute little kitty cat that has stripes.............

  • eee.... the last eight years... eee Gyurcsany....

  • i like this song.

  • i just want to say that everyone on youtube is insane!!!! Except me of course, I'm perfectly sane.

  • @dessakat being sane is boring, try going insane for a little while you have a lot more fun

  • @TheBANKO1 don't think you get it....but oh well....

  • @dessakat If you do 't think someone's insane you don't know them very well, because the whole world is insane. Now go find yourself, you clearly know nothing of the inner workings of your own mind.

  • @SangaxOfxThexThunder well that certainly makes you think

  • @SangaxOfxThexThunder insane is a word that we have created in our own reality,

  • *sings along while sitting in my padded cell with my straitjacket*

    ;)

  • I don't suffer from insanity i enjoy it

  • i hear this voice and think of the narrator from Dr. Suess books.... o-o i'll never look at Dr. Suess books ever again...

  • HELP!! I can't stop looking at the video screen. even thou it's expressly informing me not to!

    AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. He He He He Ha Ha Ha Ha.

  • ....WHAT????!!!

  • look up aspca he says it in his first song. the aspca is for animal cruelty so yeah the she is a dog end of dispute.

  • @barda12345 so the part where he calls her a hairy ape is about a dog? yeah right....

  • @RapeRodent It is...all of hes songs are about hes dog....

  • i laughed so hard that i cried and my dada thought i was crazy and he said "thats enough of that stupid funny farm song and don't u start that crap!!!" HEEEELP THEY'RE COMING BACK 4 ME HEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great

  • So what in a lunatic and there not coming to back me away well i hope not

  • i think hes talking about an animal cuz in the first one he says "when they find you youll go to the aspca you mangy mutt"

  • Apes don't have tails...get your anatomy right!

  • @embercoral

    Some kinds of apes....

  • Of course with this using the word 'dog' for his girlfriend or wife, meaning BITCH. Also. o3o

  • It's obvious he's using a metaphor, comparing his wife or girlfriend to a dog...I wonder why no one really thought about that...

  • Dear everyone,

    he knows she's a human, he is making huge dog references because he is calling her a bitch, but cannot say the word. and she says 'that's what you get for calling me a mutt!' she means bitch, too. they just didn't want to say 'bitch'

  • So this time he's calling someone an ape?

  • 14 people were taken again.

  • I've called a person a mange mut. notice i have been called insance!!! oh I have to go now cause they're coming to get me again. Gosh I love those guys with the clean white coats.

  • This is the same song. You just copied it. Tracing is not impressive.

  • You will be taken to the place,where the nuts hunt the squirels.

    Let'see if you're still laughing then.

  • he's talking about his wife, and the reason he's saying tail, and cage, is becuz he's absoletly insane

  • I love it

  • I don't have a red x i have a red circle cause i have a mac book pro

  • I dont have a red x i have a red circle cause i have a mac book pro

  • the first one was ok all the additions are a waste of time

  • Why is Woody Allen going insane?

  • @Minoru721 Was there an actual mentally ill person that kept saying these crazy words?

  • these songs remind me of my friends. its so funny. i love it! haha XD

  • I have a sudden urge to laugh maniacally. These lyrics are getting to me...

  • this song freaks me out, makes me think there's some random insane psychopath behind me ready to stab me with somfin... O.o

  • GLENN BECK - the staory of his life! ;)

  • @NinjaPenguinPuffle yay for insanity i'm also insane

  • omg i so love this version more than ariels!!!!,

    oh and by the way this is brittany!!!!!!!!!

  • waaa

  • So this is basically a sequel song

  • I have a comment for Kangul159. this IS about a dog. It IS. from Warner Brothers Records: "the recording is a first-person rant by a seemingly mentally ill patient who is bemoaning the loss of lover, only for the listener to find out the singer was referring to a dog who ran away."

  • The nice young men in the clean white coats are very fit and they put me in a straight coat i could only describe it as bondage but I didn't mind that cos the men in the clean white coats are very fit and I may be lying if I said I didn't get a bit frisky when they pulled it tighter and tighter! The men in the clean white coats turned out to be goats so I became worried my mother told me I was taliban which explains why I lost my virginity to a goat when I was 8. They're coming to take me away

  • they were coming to take him away... and now they are coming to get him again...

    Those are two really creepy songs.

  • @Splashingveins2 actually its three: they're coming to take me away, im happy they took you away, then this one

  • @UltimateRandomness thanks^^

  • deffinatley about an animal

  • my mom showed this to me yesterday and she saw a thing on it and it said that the song came from some guy that lost a pet and was mentally insane so it is about him losing a pet. so HA HA HO HO HE HE HA HA

  • They're to take me away...

    HAHA HEHE HOHO HAHA

  • niiiiiiiceeeeeeee

  • neuroticfish should make their own version to this :) that would be some great stuff...

  • naw its def about a dog. because that makes it twice as good. :)

  • fuck being commited aint fun its scary they put u on wierd pills its all white its scary nd destirbing every staff is tooo nice... been there dne that dnt wanna go back

  • lol at the end all i thought was "AW DAMN! THEY BAGGED HIS ASS!!"

  • LOL such a great song

  • The whole song's about a dog. Don't get so upset.

  • its about a girl who he hate so he calls he a dog lissten to "im happy they took you away haha" to know this.

  • actually, the X isnt red, It's black or white on a red background.

    SO HAH

  • ...Touche.

  • 'They're coming to take me away'

    'I'm happy they took you away!'

    'They're coming to get me again'

  • this sounds evil... i feel nausiated.... my sister screamed

  • completely un "pc", and great! Nowdays, this would never be allowed to see the light of day.

  • hahaha great !!!!

  • Lols

  • Song is crazy no matter what lol

  • I had a really disturbing case of nostalgia when he dissolved into the "happy home" and "funny farm" lyrics. Ahh, the original song about being committed.

  • George W. Bush's theme song. He freaked out with severe stupidity; blown mind!!

  • I wish they HAD taken him away before 2000.

  • @pbrucpaul It's Obama's theme song too

  • @pbrucpaul and it"s his fault for the Fcat OR Ccat or Icat or watevs

  • -Sigh- Just to settle this. This is not about a dog, or any animal whatsoever. Listen to the first song before you make any assumptions. He is calling his wife//girlfriend a mutt, or an animal, for thinking he's crazy and sending him away. Before that, she left him to get worse and worse being on his own. Okay? Do you guys get it? He's not talking about an animal. End discussion.

  • Interesting Kankugal. At first I thought he was singing about his wife. Then I thought he was actually singing about his pet. I'm not sure if what you say is correct, but I would've found it funnier if it really is about a pet, cause that would make the guy even more insane for becoming insane about the run away of a pet. *phew* Long explanation

  • @Kankugal159 he is talking about his dog for gods sake i know coz this song was out when my dad was a teen and he knows all about it, thats what makes it even madder besides it dosnt matter anyway :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ashleychristine96

    Yes, yes it is.

    I've listen to the first "fucking" song many times. Now, it's doesn't matter if it's a dog or his wife because he's insane anyways.

  • @Konata101 true.

  • @ashleychristine96

    um thanks?

  • @Konata101 i dont know.

  • @Konata101 btw nice channel.

  • @lipgloss675411 I doubt a dog could send anyone to a mental institute.

    Your dad is wrong, I'm sorry.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kankugal159

    No, it's actually about his dog but Josephine XV says it in the point of view of the Dog being his wife . I saw it on a tv show

  • @Konata101 A dog cannot send someone to a mental institution.

    I'm sure I'll look the television segment up.

  • @Kankugal159 Yeah, he is. "I thought you were my friend And so I trusted you Believed in you The day you swore you'd always be my PET BUT..." and "I scrubbed your toes I CLEANED YOUR CAGE But all you ever did was pay me back With cruel, unloving, selfish deeds YES..." and you still say this isn't about an animal, especially in conjunction with the first song. HMM...
  • @BulletOn3 It's a metaphor.

    He's metaphorically speaking.

  • @BulletOn3 I won't argue, because there's no point. It's not about a dog.

  • @Kankugal159 ok even in the first sont he calls her a mutt and in this song he sais i scrubed ur toes and CLEANED UR CAGE and he also said the day u swore UD ALWAYS BE MY PET. and he sais ill swing U BY UR TAIL U HAIRY APE.so HA HA HE HE HO HO HA HA

  • @pinkroony He's speaking metaphorically. He's not talking about a dog.

    And I know. I've listened to the songs, I know the lyrics.

  • @Kankugal159 ok fine whatever u want to believe but my mom dosent lie so i still believe that its a animal

  • @Kankugal159 Wrong.

    His wife don sleep in a cage,

    "MY PET"?

    aspca?

    "the day you sweared to be my pet"?

    "swing you by the tail"?

    these are quotes from the 2 songs.

    Plus, she would of DEVORCED him, not run away.

  • @TheTlotra You shouldn't forget that the song is about one that is mentally ill, to put it gently. Insane.

    Does it not make sense to you that an insane person could think his wife an animal?

    About the divorce (which you spelled wrong btw. :P), that would still be abandoning him, would it not be? Also keep in mind that divorce is expensive, and merely running away, especially if she was in fear, would work.

  • @Drasherofbananas Nope.

    Humans dont have tails, but i see your point...

    "The day you swear you would always be my pet."

    But i think he just mistreated his dog.

    I also think this should of been redone by Neuroticfish.

  • @TheTlotra Yeah, I guess the tail thing is rather hard to imagine...Of course, it is possible that the person simply got the image of his wife being a dog and it stayed for some reason, which could be why they're coming to get him again. Because he's not cured yet...So, he plans to swing her by the tail, even if it doesn't exist.

  • @Kankugal159 morons....

  • @Kankugal159 --- Sorry but the singer and writer, Jerry Samuels, stated frequently that this song was a parody about HIS PET DOG. You can do the research or write Mr. Samuels himself. NEVER was about anything else.

  • @Kankugal159 this is true. the song "Im happy they took you away" apparently by Josephine XV isnt the real title, nor is Josephine XV the person who made it. The title of "Im happy they took you away" is actually "Josephine XV" and its made by Napoleon XIV, not Josephine XV.

  • You know, instead of posting an empty screen, you could add the lyrics to this song, just as a suggestion.

  • It's a metaphor. He's saying that his wife was like a mutt for leaving him.

  • this is really creepy D=

  • no this was cuz he got left by his girlfriend

  • Have you not listened to the song? He makes so many allusions to the subject being a dog that its almost painfully obvious...maybe YOU need to be put in a funny farm.

  • have you read the bio for this video? they said they made it about a guy who got left by his wife. Not DOG, dedadee.

  • Have you seen the album artwork? He's holding an empty dog leash by a fire hydrant.

  • the bio is completely different.

  • Sow me where you found this bio, and we can end this argument.

  • In its case

  • I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THE SCREEN!

  • Maybe it was his girlfriend but he tortured her by putting her in a cage and people found out or she escaped and he ended up in a funny farm??

  • This is fuked up

  • wow lol i love this song no joke ╞

  • think its a dog or sumthing

  • The original is the best.

  • The first one was better

  • Why would his dog make him go insane? =)

  • Following the original song's success, Jerry Samuels wrote and recorded two sequels to it, titled "I'm Happy They Took You Away, Ha-Haaa!", (which is sung from the deranged singer's wife's point of view).

  • AGAIN!!!!???? Yikes. When was this version originally released?

    Anyone have a link to the long lost "I'm glad they took you away" version sung by the female?

  • @tungzout "i'm happy they took you away"

  • I'm still not sure wether it's about a dog or a person......

  • person

  • u on crack? in a cage and has a tail pay attention

  • it could be a metaphor....

  • its about an animal but not sure wich one

  • no. I do it, too.

    That and "Big ass rock" from full monty

  • Depends. If you're just singing it while walking down the street, that's fine. During a job interview...not so much.

  • Better idea. come sing this at my job interviews, compared to you I'm a shoe in.

  • HAHAHAHA!!

  • lmao!

  • @Chaozu for some reason my sister keeps singing this song.

  • @troopsaugus HAHAHA! She sounds crazy! lol :D

  • @airassualt100 please you don't know crazy untill you meet her.

  • @troopsaugus Please!!! I wouldn't bank on that one! I have a sister that I think is fit for a straight jacket! HAHAHAHA! I feel your pain! lol :D

  • @airassualt100 that the next gift i get her, a straight jacket. xD

  • @troopsaugus I might recomend you buying a few extra for backup! My sister,though quite small,can eat her way right through if you push her button! lol! I wish you the best of luck!

  • @airassualt100 Same To You dude!

  • nah i believe its bout hid gf cuz it sings her side too but he might have mistreated her and thought of her as a pet cuz he was ALRDY AS MAD AS A BAT HAHA HO HO HEEHEE

  • at 1:20 he says "I scrubed your toes, i cleaned your cage" So unless his ex lives in a cage hes probably singing about his pet.

  • 1:18*

  • Listen to "I'm Happy They Took You Away." He was already crazy, so it's not unlikely that a madman kept his wife in a cage.

  • can someone post napoleon xiv song with the words "they'll never come take me away...i'm normal i'm ok" ???????????? thanks if you can

  • I second that request.

  • i didn't stop looking at the screen :)

  • NOW THAT IS FUNNY! THANK YOU!

  • the second one and this one are crap compared to the first one..

  • If you actually listened to the song that came before this one he was singing about his dog. But why are you trying to make sense of a madmans ravings? lol

  • it was his girlfriend/wife not his dog

  • sounds like john malkovich

  • I'm confused is he talking about a dog or a person?

  • or an ape? or a cat?

  • his ex lover ^ ^

  • Hes talking about his old girlfriend lol. listen to them in order

    1.They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!

    2.I'm Happy They Took You Away, Ha-Haaa!

    3.They're Coming To Get Me Again, Ha Haaa!

  • "Lock the door and hide the key / 'Cause if I get loose, you won't catch me!"

    Sometimes the insane provide the best art :3

  • Soooo.... it WAS about a dog? I think it even says on wikipedia that it's about a woman, and had a reply to it from a woman on her side.

  • I think its about his women hes just using metaphor

  • Exactly. It's about his woman. Basically he's calls her his bet and he's making fun of her calling her house her cage and calling her a hairy ape.
