Okay that's weird. Chuck Barry Chuck Barris.

It would not surprise me if Chuck Barris had been dead for years and he asked that his death not be announced until Chuck Barry died.

Unfortunately the clips are blocked on YouTube as I wanted to post it in my original reply. I remember seeing that when I was a kid and thinking it was the greatest thing ever. I still think of that whenever I hear that song on the radio.
