Let’s all dance a round in his honor
Now he can do his crypt-kicking from the inside.
He’ll be the graveyard smash.
Dang, now I feel old. I loved that song as a kid, as an adult, I still love it.
I love his sense of humor.
from CNN,
ha!
He was only 24 when he recorded that song? I always just assumed he was ancient already.
Apparently Boris Karloff himself did a version of it on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. I’d loved to have heard that.
But we had a 45 of Bobby Pickett’s version. Shows how old I am. MilliCal loves this song. Some things are timeless.
Elvis supposedly hated the song Monster Mash. I don’t know why, but I’ve always found that amusing. (The quotation appears on Pickett’s official website, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.)
For you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you get to the door tell them Boris sent you!
As opposed to…???
The Transylvanian Twist.
Whatever happened to that, anyway?
Whatever happend to that?
:shakes fist: MOBO!!!
OK, here’s another Halloween song (sorta).
Number 2 is surely “Haunted House.” While I wouldn’t have been surprised if there were no #3, this guy lists seven.
I guess no one remembers “Popeye the Gravedigger”,“Hurry Bury Baby”,or “Gravy(with some Cyanide)”
The Transylvania Twist?
It’s now the Mash.
Did you hear the version of the song he had put out a couple years back, decrying the current leadership’s disregard of the environment? He titled it “The Monster Slash” R.I.P. Bobby. 
Damn. That was the second 45 I ever bought, the first time it came out.
Grr, Mash Good!
Didn’t he have an extramarital fling with Tami Faye Bakker once upon a time?
My parents had a 45 of his somewhat less popular follow-up, the “Monster Motion.”
Answering my own question: No, he didn’t. I was thinking of Gary Paxton who was co-producer/co-recorder of Monster Mash. Sorry, and retractions with apologies to the Pickett family for implying he ever did the churchyard smash with Tami Faye.
