#Bobby Boris Pickett

[thestuffedalligator]

I’m always thinking about the Monster Mash. Bobby “Boris” Pickett accidentally made the most iconic Halloween jam of the 20th century and he decided to go all in on it for the rest of his life. The man spent the rest of his professional career wearing a lab coat and singing goofy Halloween novelty songs. The Monster Swim. The Monster’s Holiday. Have you listened to The Monster Rap? You have to listen to The Monster Rap. It’s about Frankenstein’s monster learning how to rap because Igor went to DJ school.

Late in the cycle as I continued to labor I beheld something unusual A cryo-frozen citizen had begun to awake Rather than stumble

She did a mutant's dance Appropriate only for destroying mausoleums It became strangely popular She did a mutant's dance

From the rooms where I worked To the finer ones where ancient citizens take their meals Depraved barbarians left their planets To be beneficially electrocuted

Then they did a mutant's dance Appropriate only for destroying mausoleums It became strangely popular They did a mutant's dance

Ancillaries enjoyed their time at my invitation Several Translators were invited, as were ancient citizens and their daughters

All found the event beneficial Beasts provided entertainment Followed by more desecration of the dead Five of the most uncivilized musicians

Did a mutant's dance Appropriate only for destroying mausoleums It became strangely popular They did a mutant's dance

The oldest guest, nearly dead Protested Speaking angrily, she asked, "Why are we not dancing like we did in my time?"

Your dance is now a mutant's dance Appropriate only for destroying mausoleums It became strangely popular It is a mutant's dance

The elder was calmed by this explanation And joined the house of musicians Virally the dance has spread Tell all who ask it was Bohrs House who invented

The mutant's dance Appropriate only for destroying mausoleums It became strangely popular Do the mutant's dance!

Bobby "Boris" Pickett - Monster's Holiday

Lyrics below the cut.

It was the night before Christmas and all through the castle

My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle

The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things

Like monster fangs and vampire wings

(It was a monster's holiday)

But they were up to no good

(It was a monster's holiday)

Didn't act like good monsters should

(It was a monster's holiday)

They found themselves a new play

(It was a monster's holiday)

They planned to rob Santa's sleigh

They were making a list and checking it twice

Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike

A new chain for Yarnush

A brace for Igor's back

A speed shaver for Wolfman

A new cape for Drac

(It was a monster's holiday)

But they were up to no good

(It was a monster's holiday)

Didn't act like good monster's should

(It was a monster's holiday)

They found themselves a new play

(It was a monster's holiday)

They planned to rob santa's sleigh

The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof

At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof

As Santa slid down the chimmney wall

The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all

From beyond the moat arose such a clatter

I jumped to the window to see what was the matter

Like a bolt of lightning it happened so quick

And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick

He began to dig down deep in his sack

And came up with the traction for Igor's back

Drac got his cape

Franky's trike made him behave

Even Wolfman was happy now he can shave

(It was a monster's holiday)

And all ended well

(It was a monster's holiday)

And Santa was really swell

(It was a monster's holiday)

No need to rob santa's sleigh

(It was a monster's holiday)

Maybe next year he'll come back

So the children everywhere were spared the grief

Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief

Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave

And never again rob sleighs or graves

(It was a monster's holiday)

Igor, what do you think of Santa now? "Arrrrrr... Santa good!"

And Santa said as he drove out of sight

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night blaaaa!"

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow

Where is that reindeer with the red nose blaaaa

On Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Cupid...

I don't post on here too often these days but I put out an album this year and I'm really proud of it. It's a scrappy, noisy indie rock record about death and loss and love and movies and the weather and novelty records. It's called Boris Sent Me and my band is called Felt Lips. 11 songs, 30 minutes, almost exclusively downers, you're gonna love it.

Tuesday Tunes 128: All Hallows

Tuesday Tunes 128: All Hallows

As you may have noticed, yesterday was Halloween. I have played a set of tunes for this a couple of times previously, but felt that doing so again yesterday would have been overkill on my part – you really don’t need to see me every day, do you? Well, not until next month, anyway. But rather than miss out completely, I thought I could theme today’s tunes around it: after all, Halloween is the eve…

I was today years old when I found out that Bobby “Boris” Pickett called out Elvis Presley back in 2006 for hating “The Monster Mash” at a live performance.

He said “Elvis called this the dumbest song he ever heard. Well, Elvis, I’m still alive.” That is the level of petty I aspire to be. I saw someone say in the tags say that Bobby said “Try me, bitch.”
