I just want to remind everyone, that no matter how wonderful the Sweet are, and no matter how many memories they inspired, they aren't the best out the.�
The best song ever written was:

Yep, I have had a copy of this for some while! Love the B-side, which is just the A-side backwards - even the label has the title in reverse!
Oh and I would love to hear the unsuccessful follow-up called - I sh1t you not! - "I'm In Love With My Little Red Tricycle!" 
What do I know about music? Sweet FA!!!

In 1966, Samuels concocted "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!". The public found out the true identity when Cousin Brucie of WABC in New York outed him. The record quickly climbed the charts, reaching #1 nationally just one week after its release[1] but fell from the charts almost as quickly after stations stopped playing it in the wake of protests from advocacy groups for the mentally ill. Napoleon XIV continued to release music after the success of his one hit, including a Warner Bros. album of the same name in 1966 (reissued by Rhino in 1985), most of which continued with the mental illness theme (for example: "Bats In My Belfry" and "Split Level Head" which features different vocal parts in each stereo speaker). While he did not achieve further mainstream success, recent cover versions of They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! indicate that Napoleon XIV has remained a cult favorite. Samuels still writes songs and presently runs a business that books entertainment, primarily for retirement homes.

I still can't see your post Viggoeh.
But anyway, George Kaufmann once said to a gathering of the great and the good: "What's the greatest song ever written?" Harpo Marx asked: "Apart from Silent Night?" The gathering replied: "Well OBVIOUSLY apart from Silent Night." What they eventually decided upon is long forgotten. He carries out his duty
