I was only a year old in '73 but maybe somebody here can answer: was the song's re-emergence brought on by Dr. Demento? Perhaps he was playing the song on his radio show and a populace that had lived through what happened between '66 and '73 could appreciate it better.

"The original single was re-issued by Warner Bros. Records (#7726) in 1973, and eked onto the Billboard Hot 100 at number 87. The song appeared on disk releases by Dr. Demento in 1975 as part of Dr. Demento's Delights, then in subsequent Dr. Demento LP's released in 1985, 1988 and 1991."
