Analytic DreamzHOST
and not only because of halloween but because he had a notorious mass effect to the point where a song that came out in 1962 yes you heard me correctly a song that came out in 1962 co-written by pickett and leonard capizzi so basically bobby pores bobby boris pickett and Leonard Capizzi wrote Monster Mash in 1962, and it was inspired by horror films and contemporary dance crazes such as The Twist and D.D. Sharp's Mashed Potato Time.

Mod MartyHOST
And started off that whole set with DD Sharp from the LP that I was telling you about last time, Down Memory Lane, which was right at the point where Cameo Parkway was losing everybody and losing money and couldn't promote anybody and they didn't release any singles off of this LP.
Mod MartyHOST
So if you're able to run down this LP, I suggest that you get it because Dee Dee Sharp is an incredible voice and a pioneer of the Philly sound years after this.
Mod MartyHOST
But in 1964, she put this out.
Mod MartyHOST

Amanda RoseHOST
The Monster Mash was a graveyard smash, or so sang Bobby Boris Pickett in his 1962 Halloween hit.
Amanda RoseHOST
Originally written as a parody of D.D. Sharp's Mashed Potato Time, Bobby sold his soul to the dark arts, summoning a parade of creatures from the depths, all in the name of reaching Billboard's Top 100.
Amanda RoseHOST
And for decades, his evil plan has worked.
Amanda RoseHOST
Each year, people turn on the 60s rock and roll hit to get into the spooky mood, bopping to lyrics about vampires feasting, baying hounds, and jolting partygoers with electrodes.
