Halloween sucks. Just an excuse to get your kids hyped up on HFCS to begin their inevitable launch toward heart disease.
I checked out the video. It was actually quite entertaining.
...neat character gestures ping....
Brings me back to my college days. Sunday night listening to Dr. Demento!
Sadly...
“In October 2005, Pickett protested inaction on the United States government’s part towards global warming by releasing “Climate Mash”, a new version of his hit single.”

They did the Monstah Mash...
Themonstermash.
I’twas a graveyahd smashhh...
Bobby "Boris" Pickett made quite a living from that song. He was still performing it decades later. Here is a 1992 performance of it. Also, Bobby recorded a Christmas version of the song called "Monster's Holiday" which was a minor hit but appears on many 1960s Christmas compilations of which I had a few.
The song never made him fabulously wealthy however. By the early 1970s, he was a taxi cab driver in NYC, if you can believe that. But shortly thereafter, the song re-charted and Bobby was in demand pretty much every Halloween thereafter, finally passing away in 2005.
LOL! Thanks very much. I’d never seen this very entertaining video before. Tremendous facial expressions by BBP. BUMP!
He really nailed those voices and the lyrics to this song are more than clever.
Was fun to see that. Thanks!
Loved this song when we were kids.
I love that song. Thank you. I never saw the real artist before. Great treat!
Imagine if this was a few years later, in which the curtains opened and there were a bunch of monster themed go-go dancers back there.
Trivia: Boris Karloff actually has two stars on the walk of fame, one for movies and the other for TV.
Looked at the closed captions...they had real problems with that!
CA....
