ABC for Kids: Monster Mash (1991)
00:00:13
"I was working in the lab one night, when my eyes beheld an eerie sight. For my monster from his nap began to rise, and suddenly, to my suprise," Ross Higgins sings with expressive vocals.
00:00:42
The mood of the music video is very humorous as kids are dressed up as the classic monsters and Ross Higgins impersonating a scientist. Background visuals have cartoonish monsters, skeletons, and halloween decor.
00:01:55
"What ever happened to my Transylvanian twist?" Ross Higgins impersonated Dracula with a strong Transylvanian accent while the kid mouths the lyrics. The kids' interaction with the "spooky " environment makes the video humorous.

Ladies and gentleman, it's Halloween and here's a man I think you're all going to want to meet. Say hello, please, to Mr. Bobby Boris Pickett. Hi Bobby.
00:00:12
Hi! Happy Halloween.
00:00:15
Thank you!
00:00:16
Nice to be here.
00:00:17
This album, the original Monster Mash, you wrote and perfomed the most popular novelty song in the history of music.
00:00:23
Yeah, it's a nice feeling. I've been told that. They dig me up once a year.
00:00:30
James Brown called this the granddady of all rap records.
00:00:33
Well yeah, we think he said that. He said something -- we're hoping it was that. But Elvis Presley said something much more interesting.
00:00:39
What did Elvis say?
00:00:41
He said it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. So, if you're out there listening Elvis, I'm still here.
00:00:52
Woah! Okay let's see what Elvis says. Okay, you're gonna be appearing in Trendsetters in New Jersey this weekend, right? Which night?
00:01:00
Friday night, tomorrow.
00:01:02
By any chance, are you going to sing this song?
00:01:03
I think I might do it -- yeah! A medley of my hit.
00:01:07
Yeah I know that well. I'm gonna say goodnight to all my guests... be careful out there. God bless you all. What would Halloween be without the Monster Mash? Ladies and gentleman.. Mr. Bobby Boris Pickett. God bless, have fun.

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
00:01:25
Seems he was troubled by
00:01:27
Just one thing

He opened the lid and shook his fist and said

And it's a graveyard smash
