Same here I'm over summer can't go do very much I'm always feeling sad during the summer most likely because of the heat I love the Halloween and holiday seasons seems like I'm only happy during that time
Listening to oldies like these brings a smile to my face because songs back then were often used to tell a story. I'm not saying music today is worse or bad, but rarely do any of them tell stories like they once did. I recommend "Purple People Eater", another good Halloween track and it tells a fun little story too while sounding great.
"Why'd you play that song, Marty? There must be hundreds of love songs to choose" "Well, it's kind of a love song, monsters dancing, enjoying eachother's company..holding their evil in check"
When I was in elementary school every year around Halloween in gym class we would do an activity where we would do the monster mash, and then make up our own dances to the song. This is so nostalgic
They played this song at the burial of my siamese twin stepdaughters *( after Daphne's wedding to that Puerto Rican guy.) *(they were fraternal. Probably)👰♀️🤵♂️💝
I just remembered when my school gathered us all in a bunch and forced us to dance for their own sick amusement.. so that’s why I’m here. I got flashbacks when the song started. Yeah. I suffered those days but I’d gladly trade everything I know and learned throughout the years to go back there. I don’t care if I’ll be miserable again and unknowing of my sacrifice and will resume life as if skipping back in time was normal lmao I just wanna go back Elementary School. I’m in High School now.. 10th grade. Welp. help. my nostalgia. If ya wanna hear some stupid stories from Elementary, just ask lol. I got many. Bee saver, zipper-from-garbage knapper, trash hiding from principal.. (Lots of things involving trash because generally.. I am trash) old “stalker” camera guy that I haven’t seen in a loooong while.. 3rd/4th grade maybe? (‘twas joke between us though, I think he was Joe Namath’s brother or sumthin’..? My grandma suggested that for some reason.. many years ago. I dunno man.. I don’t think I’ll never know. He looked like him a bit tho. I remember wanting to get Joe Namath to come to my house to meet my pap to make him happy. I think if I followed along with that plan.. I think I could’ve arranged it. I mean the dude was at my school that day..? So maybe? But that opportunity is long gone now. I was a rather stupid kid who couldn’t speak up when I could) two random kids downloaded Minecraft on a computer in 1st/2nd grade, story bout’ this guy lookin’ up into a tornado and seeing 4/3 lil ones inside that actually rip up the stuff.. story stayed with me through all these years. Heard it near Christmas in a lil after school store in our gym. It was called “Santa’s Workshop” in where ya got cool gadgets and things for Christmas. Money went to the school I think.
Shy Insomniac oh holy shit I think the camera guy was actually joe Namath himself lmfao oh kms I looked him up and he looks exactly like the camera man I saw in my school hallway I said hi to a few times because my teacher kept giving me errands to run aanhausujsmjsmusmjmueumus if that was him he was literally right there the entire time d a m m i t
But.. I just looked up his brother and he also looks like the guy from my memory. Maybe he w a s his brother. They look basically alike.. and to a kids eye.. really alike. Welp.
its april, nowhere near the time of spooks, and yet i find myself here, jamming out to one of the most iconic songs from my childhood. A true masterpiece
Dracula having 'the talk' with his son Dracula: You see when to monsters love each other very much, they- Dracula's son: they do the mash Dracula: *nodding* they do the monster mash
*If Halloween doesn’t happen this year it will officially be the worst year in history.* edit - thanks for all the likes! if you aren’t having halloween i’m sorry about that but i’ll be glad to chat with you in the comments if that makes you feel better haha
Halloween comes once every year, the pandemic happens suddenly and is extremely a rare case. I'd say one or two years without a festive Halloween is not much of a sacrifice if it involves lowering the percentage of infections.
TRICK-OR-TREATING, HALLAWEEN PARADES AND HALLAWEEN PARTIES JUST GOT CANCELED WHERE I LIVE IM CRYING OKAY BYE IM OUT IM SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE I CAN TRICK OR TREAT SOSIISISIS 😭😭😭
In first or second grade around Halloween, my P.E. teacher would dim the lights in the gym and set up all sorts of ghoulish activities around the gym and we would rotate so we could each spend some time doing each activity and she would play this music through it all. Good memories.
@@aarongaming2878 because the first time I heard it I was in third grade and we were in music class, and the music class was in front of a dark room and I was scared that Frankenstein was going to come out of there and kill us
So then I guess I'm not the only one listening to Halloween music this early. 😉 I'm SO excited!! I LOVE Halloween!! Almost as much as Christmas. 😆 Btw, April Wooten, my first name is April too. ☺
I believe this became huge hit a second time, summer of 1973, because some label genius decided to re-release it on the heels of the success of Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein." Ah, the record business... ...you throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks... ...and this did... AGAIN.
“LET THE GAMES BEGIN!” happy october everyone!!!! returning to this comment because i have no idea why i made a Bane reference but i’m glad i did so yeah
It's almost Augustttt! I'll admit I'm going to miss summer for the first time, so this year I'm not celebrating Spooky Season until the first day of September! (Usually, I celebrate spooky season in August), but I'm excited for everything Fall :)
Well I live in California, so it’s spooky season (aka ‘everything burns down’) from June until about nov. enjoy Had to edit my phrasing.but yes, everything burns in the great state of Cali
I’ve seen a joke online where nobody anywhere actually knows how to do the Monster Mash, it’s not really described in this song. It’s like the song Tribute by Tenacious D.
The currently accepted canon for Tenacious D is Beelzeboss I'm pretty sure, but I feel like the song they were tributing *was* tribute. Like, they didn't know it, but they were actually singing the song they forgot.
Geoff Castellucci does this song a many others. He is an awesome singer/baritone with many different ranges including deep E1 (very low). He is also a member of Voiceplay. An Acapella group. He gives a great twist on the song along with a great performance.
What the hell is wrong with us... I legit feel like there should be a documentary or something on weirdos like us who would listen to this in December... like what is the motivation... why did we want to hear this song
This song reminds me when I was small back in elementary when every kid had there costume and everyone was there showing it off,old memories if only I can go back to that one more time 😰😎
Guy: makes a movie a decade ago when he was bored. Internet: here's ten million views, son. Edit: Get the likes up and add a comment, you beautiful RU-vid community.
*Marty, why did you play that song today? There must be thousands of love songs.* *Well, it's kind of a love song, all the monsters enjoying each other's company; dancing, holding their evil in check.* *You played the wrong record, didn't you?* *Why are you doing this to me?*

I’ve been talking about Halloween since the end of August and yesterday I just kept saying happy Halloween to people... also I have my nails done for Halloween so it’s officially the spookiest time of the year
@@Magst3r1 it’s from the episode I Love Lisa. It’s set on Valentine’s Day, but the local radio station KBBL plays Monster Mash at the beginning and end of the episode
🎶 I was lonesome for my friend a minute ago, when a happy thought dispelled my woe. And I felt perhaps he'd be a bit less dull if I sliced up his cyborg skull. 🎶 🎶 He wants a brain! 🎶 🎶 He wants a robot brain! 🎶 Another brain! 🎶 🎶 Let's see if he feels pain! 🎶 A brand-new brain! 🎶 🎶 It might drive him insane! 🎶 He wants a brain! 🎶 🎶 He wants a robot brain! 🎶 Wa-ooh! Wa-wa-ooh! Wa-wa-ooh Wa-wa-ooh! 🎶
