thebes Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 A Halloween Parteeeey! Its an overnighter next weekend at a friends house in Salem, Mass. Also, their younger sister, Bubbles, is joining us. Now Tawny is going as Vampira, and Tickles will be smashing as a 1950s sci-fi rocket girl complete with bullet bra, really short skirt, mid-thigh boots and cape. Not sure exactly what Bubbles costume is, but Im given to understand it involves feathers, a large birds cage and a swing. Not decided yet what to wear, thinking Blue as in color of leather jacket, name of gang leader played by Pete Fonda in a 60s Hells Angel movie. Although, Ill be passing through Baltimore on the way up, so that leads me to Rocky Horror Picture Show. Maybe Divine in a white suit. Anyways, shot my mouth off, said I know some people that know music inside out so, all of a sudden, Im in charge of the tunes. Hey its Halloween. Need strange, scary, novelty, weird, spooky, dangerous, you name it. Help me out and Ill PM you directions so you can crash the Paaaaaaaaaaaarteeeeeeee and meet the gals.

thebes Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab began to rise And suddenly to my surprise He did the mash He did the monster mash The monster mash It was 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 They did the mash They did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash They did the mash It caught on in a flash They did the mash They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five" They played the mash They played the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash They played the mash It caught on in a flash They played 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?" It's now the mash It's now the monster mash The monster mash And it's a graveyard smash It's now the mash It's caught on in a flash It's now the mash It's now the monster mash Now everything's 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 Boris sent you Then you can mash Then you can monster mash The monster mash And do my graveyard smash Then you can mash You'll catch on in a flash Then you can mash Then you can monster mash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEC Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Haunted House - Jumpin' Gene Simmons I just moved in my new house today Moving was hard but I got squared away When bells starting ringing and chains rattled loud I knew I'd moved in a haunted house Still I made up my mind to stay Nothing was a-gonna drive me away When I seen something that give me the creeps Had one big eye and two big feet I stood right there and I did the freeze It did the stroll right up to me Made a noise with its feet that sounded like a drum Said "You gonna be here when the morning comes?" "Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes I'll be right here, I ain't gonna run I bought this house, now I am boss Ain't no haint's gonna run me off" In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot Coffee was a-boiling in the pot Grease had melted in my pan I had a hunk of meat in my hand From out of space there sat a man On the hot stove with the pots and pans "Say that's hot" I began to shout He drank the hot coffee right from the spout He ate the raw meat right from my hand Drank the hot grease from the frying pan And said to me "You better run and don't be here When the morning comes" Say yes I'll be here when the morning comes I'll be right here now, I ain't gonna run I bought this house now I am boss Ain't no haint's gonna run me off.

BEC Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 The Purple People Eater was the #1 song for 6 weeks in 1958and the #24 song of the 1955-1959 rock era. It sold over 3 million records and received a Gold Record within 3 weeks after it was released. And over 100 Million Copies Overall!!! Words and music by Sheb Wooley. Lyrics to Purple People Eater. Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye. I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple people eater to me. It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. (one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) A one-eyed one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks stange to me. (one eye?) Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me. (one horn?) I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (we wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater sure looks strange to me. And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground. He started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune (sing aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom) Well, bless my soul, rock and roll flyin' purple people eater. Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple peopleeater. Flyin' little people eater Sure looks strange to me. (purple people?) And then he went on his way, and then what do you know. I saw him last night on a TV show. He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head (clarinet solo) ( Tequila) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myhamish Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I think there were two or three of these. Sound tracks were by Davie Allan and the Arrows. I vaguely remember "The Wild Angels Ride Again". BTW, Nancy has a brand new album with an interesting rendition of the Bono tune 'Two Shots of Happy' - sounds like she's singing about Ole Blue Eyes.

seti Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 ok don't tease the animals must see pictures of these twins of which you speak! Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell In the afterlife You could be headed for the serious strife Now you make the scene all day But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay People listen attentively I mean about future calamity I used to think the idea was obsolete Until I heard the old man stamping his feet. This is a place where eternally Fire is applied to the body Teeth are extruded and bones are ground Then baked into cakes which are passed around. Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement Top skill and brain But all the things you try to hide Will be revealed on the other side. Now the D and the A and the M and the N and the A And the T and the I-O-N Lose your face, lose your name Then get fitted for a suit of flame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Purple People Eater. I was just starting to play records when that came out so I played it ad infinitum on our Grundig console. I learned early that if you left the record overam in the rest position, the BSR changer would repeat the record "forever" or until the adults lost their minds. I think eventually the 45 of PPE was hidden and declared "lost" so the adults could get the song out of their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I know what you mean. I made the mistake of playing that thing when I posted the lyrics and it is still on replay in my head. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
