FROM THE VAULT: "The Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett: Everything You Didn't Know
Category: TV & Film
Duration: 00:57:00
Publish Date: 2024-10-23 14:01:00
Description:

Alex and Jordan continue their TMI Halloween Spooktacular celebration by delving into the creation of this deathless novelty number that pays tribute to the golden age of monster movies. You'll learn about the wildly prolific (and possibly legally insane) producer behind the track, its tentative ties to James Brown, the early '60s pop royalty who sang on it, and Bobby Pickett's dogged attempts to continually update his song with the times. They'll also talk about Elvis' burning hatred of "The Monster Mash," and a brief history of novelty dance crazes and the evolution of the horror genre.
