I think I read this story in an anthology

One of the few Wonder Woman comics I actually owner as a kid and I have zero idea why I had it. Probably because all the other characters on the cover and it looked special.

I had this as a very young kid. I used to love to "read along" as the record played. I was always creeped out by the smiling dead bodies & the serious tone, but I returned to it again & again.

Most of the Dollar Comics were brief runs but G.I. Combat ran these big-sized issues from #201 through #281, with the price going up to $1.25 around issue #260. This is a great run that flies under the radar due to it being a genre title vs. superheroes. I highly recommend it.

I had a little Fisher-Price record player as a tyke and man did I love playing a couple of those superhero book records on it which my parents I think picked up at a rummage sale.

I have this Japanese book and record set in my collection. No idea what's on the record (I don't want to risk ruining the stylus on my turntable) but I'd guess it's pretty crazy.

Apparently, it’s this, by the early J-Pop idol group Johnnys:
