The Monster Mash

You can find the website of Bobby "Boris" Pickett here. Some little known facts about the Monster Mash:


The BBC banned the song in 1962 on the grounds that it was "too morbid".

This song has been used to help start a campaign against over-using the environment. You can hear "The Climate Mash" here. This song is performed by the original singer, and the flash animation is quite funny, considering how serious they are about climate change.

There's been a movie made out of it, also with Bobby Pickett. It's a musical.

Mike Tyson appeared with Bobby Brown on Jimmy Kimmel Live, performing a duet of the song.

(Now that IS scary.)
