Tasteless but funny tale of a grieving boyfriend who, months after his girl has a fatal encounter with the Leader of the Pack (coming back from a Beatles concert), joins her in her coffin.  Both banned and "celebrated," in the sense that it won a British 1977 worst song contest.  Since the "death rock" songs of the late '50s/ early '60s were verging on self-parody anyway, I don't find this song offensive, although I could certainly see how people would, particularly 45 years ago.
