Monster Mash

Uh, [laughs] just fun.

Monster Mash, Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

Mm-hmm.

And The Crypt-Kickers.

So for the month of October, I have been recommending songs that give spooky vibes since it's October, which means Halloween is right around the corner, and Dia de los Muertos is right around the corner.

The first song that I wanna recommend is a all-time Halloween classic, and it's the Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers.

The second one, it really is giving me more spooky vibes because of the title of the song, not necessarily because of the song itself.

It's actually kind of like a more mellow, sad song, but it's Killer by Phoebe Bridgers from her, like, debut album, I'm pretty sure.

A jack-o'-lantern flickered merrily beside me.

In the distance, someone's radio was playing The Monster Mash.

Trick-or-treaters shrieked and laughed in the gathering darkness, innocent for the most part of what was coming.

By 10:00 PM, those children were all safe behind closed doors, wiping off greasy face paint, changing out of cumbersome costumes, and climbing into slumber party sleeping bags.

He did the mash.

He did the monster mash.

The monster mash.

It was a graveyard smash.

He did the mash.

It caught on in a flash.

He did the mash.

He did the monster mash.

Uh, and then finally, news, brobible.com ranked the 25 greatest Halloween songs of all time.

Oh, Monster Mash, that type of-

Well, listen, here's the thing, though-

Mm

You know what I mean? There are actual Halloween songs in here, but then there are other songs that I wouldn't say is a Halloween song, but it has overtones of scary, spooky, murder, killing, blah, blah, blah type stuff.

Mm.

Uh, Mike Helte, you came in quick with the Monster Mash.

Yeah.

Talking Heads, Psycho Killer, number two.

And number one, I think everybody can agree, The Monster Mash.

"I was sitting in my lab late one night."

"I was sitting in my lab late one night."

... and that's the only time you hear it, though.

It's true.

You don't play The Monster Mash in July, that's for sure.

[laughs]

Uh, but obviously I'd, I w- or maybe obviously I would be taking the, uh, crew card ability to hand out the mutation upgrades, 'cause yeah.

And this would be Dr. Bernadette Sanderson: Monster Mash for her title.

title.Ugh.

Love it.

It's the, the Monster Mash [laughs].

The Monster Mash.

[laughs]

It doesn't rhyme if you're the smash.
