It was a graveyard smash, after all.
As was the zombie hop. That’s why everyone is always running back to the cemetery.
“And the peculiar thing is this my friends
The song we sang on that fateful night
It didn’t actually sound anything like this song”Just a tribute :(
Although they did make an entire movie about it.
Would that not technically be a tribute to a tribute?
A tributary if you will
I started reading this as Bobby Picket and then transitioned to JB.
I always just assumed that song was a cheeky nod to Freebird.
The Monster Mash is a dance, not a song. And while many dances are done to specific pieces of music, that is not always the case.
False.
It’s a blitz.
… a ballroom blitz.
Factually wrong. It’s both a song and a dance
"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"Citing the holy texts iktr 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
Fun fact, Soulja Boy ripped off the Monster Mash when he created the dance that shares his name
Isn’t it a song about a dance called “monster mash”
Both a song and a dance called the same thing.

It was just a monster orgy, and they were mashing it
I believe that’s called the monster fuck
Who let Nick Wiger in here?
Monstorgy
better than a golf orgy (or as duffers know it, the mashie niblick)
You mean the Dance of the Motherfucking Freaks (NSFW)?
So NSFW
And whatever happened to the Transylvania Twist??
Nothing that can’t be fixed by getting Dracula to sing
It’s now the Mash.
Cultural appropriation!
That’s weird you don’t know about the monster mash? I thought everyone was invited to at least one in their life and it is thus a known thing.
at least one in their life
It was a “graveyard smash”, so perhaps some people only become familiar after they die.
I detest the song about the Monster Mash. I wonder if I would actually like the Monster Mash.
was this in an episode of always sunny or am i hallucinating?
The monster mash referenced in the song was a dance.
Same for the Crocodile Rock
Edit: and The Bird
Edit: and the TwistBird?
Bird?
Bird?!
Bird!
Bird!
Bird is the word!

Ooh mau mau, ooh mau mau–mau
The trashmen were a gift to humanity.
Watch the video of the song, you didn’t think it could get better, but you were mistaken.
Agreed. Thanks.
I always figured it was a song/dance innately known only to monsterkind, and as humans the most we’re allowed is a song about it
The 2020s has been seriously lacking on dance craze trends. We used to have a new dance every year but so far this decade has only given us Hot to Go.
yes that part has been rather nice.
We could always take another 100-year lap and embrace The Charleston again.
lemme chew on that one and get back to you.
you have got to be kidding
For a moment I thought that GIF had sound, but it was just in my head.
Consider yourself blessed by the D.
Sounds like Friday night
Tenacious D did the same thing in “Tribute”.
And we played the first thing that came to our heads
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world
It was the best song in the worldThen years later revealed that the song “Tribute” is about was “Beelzeboss” from their movie. Beelzeboss was quite a good song but they could never have met the expectations they made for themselves in Tribute.
For some reason I thought they were singing about Stairway to Heaven.
Yeah I think Stairway was a big part of the original inspiration and then they retconned it to be about Beelzeboss for the sake of the movie
I think I did hear a version where they insert the opening breakdown of Stairway, IIRC after the “grass doth grow” line.
