Monster Mash.

can anyone quess the name of this song, the beginning words are:
"I was working in the lab late one night"
Just wanted to add something to the board to go with, well, you can you figure it out.

being Halloween...Grave yard Smash

They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,

Of course the Addams Family

I was hoping for "love potion number 9"

100% yes....Bobby "Boris" Pickett..Pickett co-wrote "Monster Mash" with Leonard Capizzi in May 1962. The song was a spoof on the dance crazes popular at the time, including the Twist and the Mashed Potato, which inspired the title. The song featured Pickett's impersonations of veteran horror stars Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi (the latter with the line "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"). Went to #1 in 1962, entered charts many times in years after (usually around a popular holiday- Christmas).


lyrics below:

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash


From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash


The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son


The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"


They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash


Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash


Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you


Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mas

Just thought its was right for the up comming weekend

Here's for the eclectic music lovers out there....
how about Name of the Song AND band...

What price the crown of a king on his throne
When you’re chained in the dark all alone
(spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(bring back some light in the name of the lord)
You’ll feel your mind slipping away

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone

Cask of Amontillado is the title from an album "Mystery and Imagination"
I still love their music. That album is one of my all time favorites.

Alana Parson Project rock... Turn of a friendly card, games people play....

You are correct!  I thought Mystery and Imagination was their finest album.  And what better halloween music that that based on Edgar Allen Poe?
