Barry,
It did not make my Top 1,000. I remember listening to Dan Ingram's countdown in 1966 on WABC. The song had been #3 the previous week and was rocketing up the charts. When he got to #4 Big Dan said that they could no longer play the song due to protests by a group representing the mentally retarded. It fell quickly after that. Now there is a true one-hit wonder although the exact same song was re-released in 1973 and peaked at #87.
Here's a trivia question
What was on the B-Side of They're Comin' to Take Me Away Ha Ha??
The Troggs charted three more times following their #1 smash Wild Thing. Their biggest hit was Love is All Around which peaked at #7 and was widely played on AM rasdio in NYC in 1968.
