I grew up with this song and heard it on the radio many, many times. But I never saw it performed. He does a great Boris Karloff impression with his very mobile face. Hilarious!
The video of this song is a performance of "Monster Mash" by the original artist and songwriter Bobby "Boris" Pickett. The song remained #1 in the Billboard charts for two weeks. It remained in the Billboard Top 10 for twelve weeks starting on September 15, 1962.
Frankenstein is the Dr. The Monster is the Monster. Great facial expression Funny😂watching people dance in costumes . Thanks Bobby❤you make Halloween Fun🎉
@@UErnst80 We've had a hot muggy summer here as always....... everyone gets excited in September. Football...... cookouts...... just not sweating like a tired farm hand!
@kat35lulu88 yes here is also hot up to 30° C in the daytime pretty good for September I think so it's not a thing to realise how long we actually are on the year... October coming ☺️
I was working in the DWP one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight they were getting to much cash so i did a monster slash the monster slash (to are benefits)
Bobby was 69 when he passed away from cancer. Producer and co-writer Gary Paxton (owner of Garpax Records) died in 2013 at the age of 77. The song, however continues to live on. R.I.P., Bobby "Boris" Pickett, Gary Paxton, and host Dick Clark (in the video.)
He's imitating Boris Karloff, thus the "Boris" nickname. Boris was a master at sinister characters in horror movies until his 1969 death. Most people remember him today as the voice of Chuck Jones's version of The Grinch from 1966. Others remember him as the original movie Frankenstien's monster from 1932.
Halloween wouldn't be Halloween without this great song
I agree.
Agree love it 😀

I bought the album in 1963 for 60 cents. Still have it. I sing this song for karaoke during October.

I was 12. Loved this
I love this song and video
When i was a little kid this was the first record i ever bought. 45 rpm.😊
The Greatest Performance in Rock History. Think about it.
I love his impersonation of Boris Karloff 👍😁
Underrated Halloween songs of all time
it's wonderful that the kids can sing this beautiful song God bless them all AMEN
I remember this song well I used to play it on the jukebox and Li’l Red Riding Hood and also Wooly Bully. The good old days!
It is very clever - not only dose he sound like Boris - he looks like him
It's really interesting because when Bobby goes out of caracter, he is just a handsome guy
@@UErnst80 He has a rubber face
He should have been an actor with those face expressions and cool voice.
I was about 6, absolutely loved it. it started my evil slide to rock & roll, heehee
Look forward to this every October

The 70's were great for novelty songs like this, it added to the fun that the 70's are famous for - theres no fun in todays music !
Todays music is like these the singers are all in pain along with a bunch of stupid aerobics going on.
60s song
RIP to a legend

Great, pity Boris Karfoff never recorded this

omg, Dick Clark at 12!
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🙌🎃🎃🎃🎃
Ain’t no way he was 24 in that video he looks like he was in his 50s
@anabelkissanchez8606 wow, first i thought he was in his 30s
@@UErnst80 I know, but I think he was 24 in there. And that angle when he’s doing those facial expressions, he looks like he was 60.
It's ridiculous
Ridiculously awesome 💀
Most ridiculous facials I've ever seen
