Wow! That's What I Call Music!: Halloween Edition

oldiesbutghoulies.blogspot.com



Monster Mash was the second album HERC remembers buying with his own funds after Rhythm Heritage's Disco-fied in 1976.  It was also his first novelty songs album and all the songs have stuck with him through the years.  The album was released on the kiddie label Peter Pan and HERC is willing to wager his (mostly) mortal soul that the songs were all performed by someone other than the original artists.  Here's the track list:

side one
Monster Mash 
Purple People Eater
Feet Up, Pat'Em On The Po-Po
Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Little Blue Man

 
side two
Witch Doctor
Dinner With Drac
Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Over Night ?
Mama Look A Boo-boo
Big Bad John

The album art by illustrator George Peed (snicker, snicker) is to die for although after all these years, HERC has to ask: What's with all the monkeys in the band?  Are they The Monkees?  Anywho, the fine folks at Jive Time Records also scanned in another album's artwork (like the scan above, these are from their specialty blog) done by Mr. Peed (snicker, snicker).  Those scans follow a pic of their storefront.
