<Yeah, that usage of "off of" just does not sound right to my ears,>
Does this sound right?
"They put him off of the bus for smoking."

It does not sound right to me, but because of the choice of verbs (that is, "put") rather than the usage of "off of" (which is how such would be used in the dialect here). I myself would probably use "kicked" or "threw" rather than "put" here.

Alexis Korner - Get Off Of My Cloud (with annoying citroen ad)
http://it.truveo.com/Alexis-Korner-Get-Off-Of-My-Cloud/id/626464013
I live in an apartment on the 99th floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack
And says, "I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack"
I said hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing I say, "Hi, it's me, who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?" "Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"
He says, "It's 3 AM, there's too much noise, don't you people ever wanna go to
bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?"
I said hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud, baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired, and I started to dream
In the mornin' the parkin' tickets were just like rags stuck on my window screen
I said hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd on my cloud, baby
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby two's a crowd on my cloud, baby
