"Mr. Custer" is a march novelty song, sung by Larry Verne, and written by Al De Lory, Fred Darian, and Joseph Van Winkle. It is a comical song about a soldier's plea to General Custer before the climactic Battle of the Litle Bighorn against the Sioux, to allow him to stay behind, because he had a bad dream about the battle.
It was a No. 1 song in the United States in 1960, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the issue dated October 10, 1960, and remained there for one week.
