I have NO IDEA why “Monster Mash” was a #1 hit in Canada in 1973, 11 years after it was a hit in 1962 in America. Must have been a re-release or something.

My votes were three times Elton John, Billy Preston, Carpenters, Edgar Winter, Stories, Cher9only song of her I like) and yes “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett.

“You’re So Vain” and “Photograph.” “Will It Go Round in Circles” came close, but just missed out on getting my vote also.
