The Five Blobs were singer Bernie Knee who also did the Chicken Fat song, the demo for the song Sealed With a Kiss, and some early duet with Carole King of a couple of Jack Keller songs.
Believe it or not, there is a KARAOKE track of this song. I'm very tempted to sing this one, along with the theme to Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (which there is also a track for, and which I HAVE performed), for a "Karaoke B-Movie Double Feature"!!!
Steve McQueen was 28 when he played a teenager in this film. His girl in the film was Aneta Corsaut, who is best known for playing Helen Crump on The Andy Griffith Show. Surprisigly, this song was written by Burt Bacharach, of all people and was, at the time, a big hit in the USA. Nobody even saw the film until McQueen became a big hit on the TV series "Wanted Dead or Alive"
It's The Blob!,It's Unbelievable,Unstopbule Nothing Can Stop It! Not Even A Boy With Jellybeans Can Stop it! Not Even Protonpacks Can Defeat It! Where Is Chuck Norris When You Need Him?!!...Nvm We Got Steve McQueen!!!! It's All Good! xD
@DirkDigler13 not just mexicans , Im a halfbreed , half german , half apache , and this 50-s be bop drives me in my custom shop, russell the wizzard on myspace
Hehehe.... personally I give this song the Spamzer Prize for Jolliest Happiest Wierdest Non-Suitable Intro Song for a Scary Movie! Hahaha... no kidding, it really made me think "what the...?" and I thought I either rented or they gave me the wrong movie. The thought disappeared after the meteorite scene.
Completely away from that, it's a really cool tune for a great movie! Perfect for those halloween nights with my friends watching old 50's clasics :D
GGe47, I also had this record back in 58 on a 45. But I also remember that I bought another version just about the same time but instead sung by "The Zanies". Not sure which version I liked better, but I remember that one of the differences was the sound of the "pop" that the singers make. It seems that on the Zanies version they made a more drawn out sound.
Yeah that's right The guy who works in my kitchen is from Acapulco and he says it's an old "Saturday night song". According to him he used to go surfing and he'd hear it all the time but never thought to ask what it was called. He said he'd check into it. BTW he appreciated the sentimental value as to the question of the song....
Yes, it is a Mexican song, but I cannot find it anywhere. Burt Bacharach wrote the lyrics but the whole arranement is Mexican. I wish Okra Winfrey would do a show on it!
His name is(...was?)Bernie Nee- a Columbia recording artist; He was the sole performer on the recording, which was recorded at the end of the summer of 1958. This guy Nee was a much used studio artist who never hit the top 40 recording under his own name.(source-Rhino)
I've seen this flick so many times over the years, and remember that theme song very, very well. It hit #33 on the pop charts in 1958, believe it or not. Not an easy record to find, by the way.
