The Resume

    (February 8, 1936- )
    Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota
    Recorded the single 'Mr. Custer' (1960)

Why he might be annoying:

    He is a one-hit wonder.
    His one hit is a novelty record that makes light of hundreds of people dying in battle.
    He said of his pre-'Mr. Custer' music career, 'I'd lose talent contests all over town.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    Before his brief singing career, he was a stuntman for the shows 'Zorro,' 'Circus Boy' and 'Rin Tin Tin.'
    'Mr. Custer' hit #1 on the Billboard singles chart and earned a gold record.
    He said about the success of 'Mr. Custer,' 'It fit the perfect formula for comedy -- tragedy plus time.'
    After his singing career ended, he became a set builder in Hollywood for three decades.
