Bobby Pickett on American Bandstand (1964)
01:03
I was working in the lab late one night
01:08
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
01:11
For my monster, from his slab, began to rise
01:15
And suddenly, to my surprise
01:18
He did the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)
01:23
It was a graveyard smash (he did the Mash)
01:26
It caught on in a flash (he did the Mash)
01:30
He did the Monster Mash
01:32
From my laboratory in the Castle east
01:35
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
01:38
The ghouls all came from their humble adobes
01:42
To get a jolt from my electrodes
01:45
They did the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)
01:50
It was a graveyard smash (they did the Mash)
01:53
It caught on in a flash (they did the Mash)
01:56
They did the Monster Mash
02:00
The zombies were having fun
02:03
The party had just begun
02:06
The guests included Wold-Man, Dracula, and his son
02:12
The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
02:16
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
02:19
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
02:22
With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
02:27
They played the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)
02:31
It was a graveyard smash (they played the Mash)
02:35
It caught on in a flash (they played the Mash)
02:38
They played the Monster Mash
02:40
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
02:44
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
02:47
Opened the lid and shook his fist and said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"
02:54
It's now the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)
02:58
And it's a graveyard smash (it's now the Mash)
03:02
It's caught on in flash (it's now the Mash)
03:05
It's now the Monster Mash
03:07
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
03:11
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
03:14
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
03:18
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
03:22
Then you can Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)
03:25
And do my graveyard smash (then you can Mash)
03:29
You'll catch on in a flash (then you can Mash)
03:32
Then you can Monster Mash
03:36
Mash good!
03:38
Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy
Bobby Pickett on New York at Night (1991)
00:12
Hi! Happy Halloween.
00:16
Nice to be here.
00:23
Yeah, it's a nice feeling. I've been told that. They dig me up once a year.
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.
00:41
He said it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. So, if you're out there listening Elvis, I'm still here.
01:00
Friday night, tomorrow.
01:03
I think I might do it -- yeah! A medley of my hit.
