William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Monsters' Holiday (single) ; Year: 1962; Genre: Rock/Pop/Christmas/Comedy Well, it's Christmas again; been fighting the holiday blues somewhat, so I decided that I should focus on the more uplifting comedy selections to bring up the mood. After going over a bunch of Christmas comedy classics I remembered this one, which sadly does not get enough play anymore in my opinion. While most people today think of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas when combining the spooky Halloween aspects with Christmas, this one did it many years prior and if you've heard their hit Monster Mash , you should know wot to expect from the song.   Hear Monsters' Holiday on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)   My song pick 2 years ago today: Steve Winwood - Christmas Is Now Drawing Near At Hand   My song pick 3 years ago today: Louis Armstrong and the Commanders - Cool Yule My song pick 4 years ago today:...

From: The Original Monster Mash ; Year: 1962; Genre: Pop/Holiday Wow, I realized that I have been through six other Halloweens and have yet to pick this holiday favourite. Most everyone alive has probably heard this song at some point in their lives, so it would be folly to go any longer with my writing today. Anyway, have a fun and safe Halloween to-night! Hear Monster Mash on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Kreeps - Dead Men Walking My song pick two years ago today: Dick Dale - Riders In the Sky My song pick three years ago today: Andrew Gold - Spooky, Scary Skeletons My song pick four years ago today: Rammstein - Mein Teil My song pick five years ago today: Rush - Witch Hunt My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Witches Promise
