at school our disco was on halloween one year so one of the teachers figured a monster mash would be fun xD ths song played when it started and when it finished. it was a funny sight
A fun song to play on guitar especially for a beginner. The verses and chorus are G Em C D. The bridge ("The zombies were having fun... ") is C D C D. I always dedicate it to my in-laws. rofl
From his coffin, Drac's voice did ring, seems he was troubled by just one thing. opened the lid, and shook his fist and said 'VATEVER HAPPENED TO VY TRANSYLVANIAN TWIST?'
I bought this record when it was released I was 12 or13 in NY and it was on "Garpix" records the spelling might not be right but that was close It was a white label and had a sleeve with a Frankenstein creature and black only on a white sleeve but I notice your's is on Parrot Records I know this is pretty trivial but is there an explanation for this? and do you know it? Always loved the song thanks for posting it
is this song intended for kids? i have never really found out but i think its kinda good espiecially when i watch all those universal monster movies XD
@7fires7trumpets I always thought Elvis sucked IMO. Never got into him. There were lots of underrated artists back in the 50's that to me, were a zillion times better.
I remember when this first hit the charts. If you lived during the era, there was a new dance craze hitting American Band Stand weekly. Even JFK and Jackie were seen doing "The Twist" so it wasn't too difficult to fathom a monster on a slab getting caught up in the most recent dance of the day, either. It's still great almost 50 years later! Great posting and claity!
@carrielamont: All pressings post-1975 would be on the London label (Parrot was retired in 1975 when Engelbert Humperdink switched to Epic and Tom Jones signed to Mercury and soon after became a country act). Current reissue 45s are on Collectables (salmon pink/white labels used for PolyGram catalog material).
I haven't this song on any radio station this year! They always play this song on every station every October! Especially on Halloween! Glad to finally hear it on YouTube!
I used to own this on a vinyl 45 when I was a kid. The 'B-Side' had a song called 'Monster Rock and Roll' (if recollection serves!) In my opinion, it was the better song, and I'm looking to hear it again and share it after 30+ years!
I actually went out & bought this 45 when it first came out & always remembered what a kick my friends & I got out of it. If I recall correctly, the flip side had a song called Monster Mash Party that was also pretty cool & a lot of fun to listen to. I grew up enjoying watching all those scary monsters on B&W TV (Frankenstein, Invisible Man,Dracula & my favorite the Wolfman), so it's still a great joy to hear this song,especially around this time & get a wonderful flashback to the amazing 60's.
I LOVE this song! I can still remember beingb 5 years old dancing to this song in my witches costume! :D Those were the good ole' days 7 years ago. xD I love Halloween because it's sooo close to my birthday! :D My birthday is just 3 days before Halloween. And what a better way of enjoying it with this marvolous song: The Monster Mash! 8D
