I wrote this song for the Burial Ground Lane saga...obviously...but it is also a tribute to my father who was actually a vampire. No..not a real one silly. He played accordion in a 50's band called The Maidstone and District Vampires. Having said that...my uncle is a skeleton since he died 12 years ago. He died a natural death. He was hit by a car. Dad lives in Florida now.
I'll never forget the day I found out they were going. My mum looked so happy..radiant. I said "You look so happy...what happened?"
to which she replied "Wonderful news..your Daddy has had a breakdown and we have to move to Florida" Sorry though...I am wandering from the plot.
In Burial Ground Lane this is the part when the Vampires and Skeletons appear in the old Rectory. Everyone jumps and then the Demon Woodlice start to sing this song. We cut the last verse about the Russian vampire meeting the demure flower-seller. The last line went "She may be English but the look in her eye is international"...but I guess that doesn't matter now. Have a nice cup of tea and listen to the song. When people hear this singing they usually clap...but they clap their hands over their ears. VAMPIRES AND SKELETONS

Vampires are mythological or folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living. In folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early Nineteenth Century. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[1] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to what can only be called mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.
In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures. Early folkloric belief in vampires has been ascribed to the ignorance of the body's process of decomposition after death and how people in pre-industrial societies tried to rationalise this, creating the figure of the vampire to explain the mysteries of death. Porphyria was also linked with legends of vampirism in 1985 and received much media exposure, but has since been largely discredited.
The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori; the story was highly successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century.[2] However, it is Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula which is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend. The success of this book spawned a distinctive vampire genre, still popular in the 21st century, with books, films, and television shows. The vampire has since become a dominant figure in the horror genre.
