(1, 2, 3!)
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-hao!
Good evening

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld, an eerie sight
When my monster, from its slab, began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise

He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash
And it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, they caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash

Well, the zombies were, having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included the Wolfman
Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, The Crypt Kicker Five

They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, they caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, they played the Monster Mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, they caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, they played the Monster Mash

Everything is cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you get to my door, tell them Only sent you

Mash, then you can Monster Mash
He did the Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
Then you can Mash, you'll catch on in a flash
Then you can Mash, then you can Monster Mash

Wha-oo
Whaaa-oo
Wha-oo
Ohhhhh-oh-ohh-ohh-ohh


Wha-oo
Whaaa-oo
Wha-oo
Ohhhhh-oh-ohh-ohh-ohh

@strummerthegreat actually no its graves, if you watch the video for it hes doing the background, its totally him :O dont yell at me if im wrong im only 13 :p

[ericsimaginaryfriend]

@ironmaidenbro If you're talking about the live video of them playing it, that was probably from a live demo version. This version of this song for Project 1950 was recorded waay after that, with Jerry Only being the only remaining Misfits member in the band at the time, the backing vocals guy just sounds very similar.

[ironmaidenbro]

Was graves in the misfits at the time? because thats him doing that background vocals.. if someone could answer me that would be great!

[ericsimaginaryfriend]

@ironmaidenbro Jerry Only was the only remaining Misfits member to be in this album, the background vocals for this was probably someone else, not Graves.

[Nosspheratuss]

Finally this song with good audio quality..

[demonchocobo]

when you get to my door tell them Only sent you :D

[CamiCamBear]

@ironmaidenbro It was the guy from Osaka Popstar that did backing vocals. His name is John Cafiero :]

[DerMortos76]

Originals better.

[XxN1MR0DxX]

@XxN1MR0DxX John Cafiero also does the backing vocals on this song

[XxN1MR0DxX]

To settle this debate the line up goes as follows:

Vocals/Bass- Jerry Only (Misfits)

Vocals/Guitar- Dez Cadena (Black Flag)

Drums- Marky Ramone (The Ramones)

Marky was later replaced by Eric "Chupacabra" Arce

[SilenceIsMyTorture]

@ironmaidenbro YOUR WRONG MUAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDropFreak]

what happened to my PC ?! It's replaying the song after its end ;O <3

[hatetheworld8888]

i like this version bettter than the original

[HeavyMetalBeliever]

@MrCristianoricardo What?

[lurycio]

@GreenDonkeyProd On the live version its Jerry Only, not sure if it is here though... not too familiar with his voice as I prefer Danzig's era and just live in it, not bad mouthing Graves and Only but I just prefer Danzig.

[Caaljuksss]

back vocals just lightens up this song.

Great work.
