Five Blobs - Saturday Night in Tiajuana

The Five Blobs were a group of studio musicians put together in 1958 by session leader Bernie Nee. The ensemble was assembled in Los Angeles for the express purpose of recording "The Blob", the title song for the Steve McQueen film The Blob. Written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David (Hal David's brother), the tune featured a prominent saxophone part. The single was released on Columbia Records and became a hit, peaking at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hitting the Top Ten on the regional LA charts. The single's B side consisted of a song entitled "Saturday Night in Tiajuana" (sic) credited to Bacharach. The song is said to be a cult favorite and is featured on many Halloween-themed compilations and playlists.

Good call!! My band is gonna do the blob (which is what I was searching for ) and now that I hear this, you got a point - it could go right in with our '1960s Halloween Hullaballoo!"... anyone have any other suggestions for scarey or sinister 60stunes? ..no 'send in the clowns' though,. - even though clowns are the scariest people. does anyone have any recollection of cool tv episodes or specials from the 60s for halloween?I have a few..we're doing a few of the skits..We're Lemonade Pie in NJ
