You didn’t really think I would let this delightful song slip through the cracks with my favorite holiday approaching. According to wiki, “Monster Mash” was a 1962 novelty song by Bobby “Boris” Pickett. The song was released as a single on Gary S. Paxton’s Garpax Records label in August 1962 along with a full-length LP called The Original Monster Mash, which contained several other monster-themed tunes. The “Monster Mash” single was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on October 20–27 of that year, just before Halloween. It has been a perennial Halloween favorite ever since.
The first dance I went to in sixth grade this song was playing on a full length lp and there were songs I hadn’t heard because I only owned the 45rpm.
Celtic Frost did the Procreation of the Wicked. It was written by songwriters: Gabriel Fischer Thomas / Martin Stricker / Thomas Gabriel Fischer. The only reason I know of this song is because this is played by my grandson. I can’t say I’m fond of Chris’s music choices but it does fit your request Jim.
Now this song comes from a show that was on Fox but was canceled and then picked up by Netflix. It’s hilarious with a lot of sexual tension, violence with angels and demons in roles we don’t typically think about. I found it much more entertaining than the republican convention and obviously there are signs of intelligence in the writing that is not apparent in Trumps’ commentary.
Being Evil has a Price, it’s the official theme song for the TV show Lucifer. A snippet of it plays during the title sequence of every episode. The song is written by Heavy Young Heathens, a duo that makes music mostly for TV and films.
It’s just a [?] that I run through
If I could get my thoughts across to you
A million dollars for your sorrow, now you’re paying for it
Think twice
Being evil has a price[Chorus]
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You oughta know my name by now
Better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price[Verse 2]
I start to wonder, is this real life?
Throw out a candle, turn out the light
The cars and models make you feel like you’re better than it
Think twice
Being evil has a price
[Chorus]
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You oughta know my name by now
Better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price
I’ve got a nasty reputation
Not a bit of hesitation
You better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price
[Chorus/Outro]
Being evil has a price
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You oughta know my name by now
You better think twice
Being evil has a price
I’ve got a nasty reputation
Not a bit of hesitation
You better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price
‘Cause being evil has a price

I am in the middle of watching something else on Netflix now, but I may check out that show Lucifer. I usually don’t like horror or devil worship, but since I liked the song you featured, I will give it a try.
This song was popular this week. I included it as my 3rd song. I also added the parody “Monster Hash” as a bonus track. I never smoked pot or did drugs, but it is a pretty funny version. 🙂
