Timeless Thursday, Throwback Thursday, it’s all the same, it means, we’re going back in time! 

Did you know that Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett had a couple of lesser known monster hits after the chart topping smash hit Monster Mash in 1962? The original Monster Mash album had 16 tracks altogether, including this one:

Title: Monster’s Holiday
Singer/Band: Bobby Pickett
Date: 1962

Well, actually, comedian Pickett was probably the only person who ever continually parodied his own music, but the success of Monster Mash was never duplicated. He sure looked like he was having fun anyway.

Title: Monster Swim
Singer/Band: Bobby Pickett
Date: 1964

I suppose, if it aint broke, don’t fix it!😄

Title: Monster Rap
Singer/Band: Bobby Pickett
Date: 1984

About that Monster Mash, it was spoof on popular dance craze songs at the time. The song was co-written with Leonard Capizzi in May 1962 and hit the top US Billboard 100 by October the same year. By 1973, it had re-charted five other times and eventually earned gold status, making it the greatest novelty song in history.
