 | | Description: | Monster Mash is an album by Bobby Pickett, released in 2013. The album is a rock CD. - A one hit wonder he may be, but Bobby 'Boris' Pickett's one hit still resonates today, getting something of an annual airing around Halloween. That hit, of course, is 'Monster Mash', with Bobby doing his best Boris Karloff impersonation over a Mashed Potato dance influenced musical track. It sounds a bizarre combination but it proved a monster hit, topping the US charts for two weeks when originally released in 1962. It would finally crack the British charts in 1973 when it hit #3 and has, since the advent of digital downloads, returned to the British charts in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Oh, and there was an album released in 1962 featuring more of the same!"Monster Mash" on CD brings Bobby "Boris" Pickett's iconic Halloween hit into a collectible, gift-ready edition produced by Hallmark. This release centers on the legendary novelty song "Monster Mash," whose playful graveyard rock'n'roll atmosphere, spooky sound effects and memorable call-and-response chorus have made it a seasonal classic for decades. As a CD, it offers clear, durable audio in an easy-to-use format, ideal for Halloween parties, themed events, or simply for collectors who appreciate timeless novelty recordings. The presentation by Hallmark emphasizes the song's charm and nostalgia, making it a fitting keepsake or gift for fans of classic pop culture.
Hallmark, known primarily for greeting cards, seasonal gifts and collectibles, has a long tradition of creating products that enhance special occasions and holidays. Their music-related items often focus on sentimental, festive or nostalgic themes, and this "Monster Mash" CD fits seamlessly into that approach by capturing the fun, family-friendly side of Halloween.
Bobby "Boris" Pickett was a singer and comedian best known for "Monster Mash," which became a major hit in the early 1960s and has remained a perennial favorite on Halloween playlists worldwide. His playful imitation of classic horror-movie voices and the song's catchy, danceable arrangement turned the track into a pop-culture phenomenon. Although Pickett's name is most closely associated with this single song, its enduring popularity--frequent radio rotation, countless compilations, and its use in Halloween media and events--has secured him a lasting place in music history as the creator of one of the most recognizable novelty songs of all time. | | | No. of tracks: |
