Bobby 'Boris' Pickett - Monster's Holiday (HQ)

Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the crypt-kickers in HD!

I knew Bobby in his later years. He was the father of my neighbor and spent the summers there. I had him sign my picture cover of Monster Mash and the records I had including this one. Both of my singles were original Garpax labels from their first releases and he said he never saw the sleeve I had. I hold them as the top value of my record collection. I have other records probably worth much more, but the sentimental value of these is higher. RIP Bobby. I miss those days.

Bobby Pickett was an excellent entertainer ❤

Even the monsters celebrate the holidays. It's a christmas song that should be on the radio during the holidays

This brings back the joyous times in the early sixties, when we just had fun. In this present, my now, this song is still just as fun to listen to as it was back in the early sixties ~~~ ~ Rock On my Brothers and Sisters

Who'd have thought the concept of Halloween and Christmas together was possible decades before "The Nightmare Before Christmas" immortalized it?

[stebaer]

Because it snowed at Halloween time of 2020 this what made this the perfect song for this year.

[AlexTraxxas]

Here after Halloween we switch to this song.

I once had this song on cassette tape but it happened to be recorded by Lon Chaney, Jr. of all people. I don't think that recording is on YouTube but it could be. Chaney Jr.'s recording happened to be on a various artist tape called "Christmas Comedy Classics". It may still be available on Amazon in some format or another. The collection arrived in 1985 on cassette and 1991 on CD.

Thanks for posting. My four-year-old's favourite song this christmas. Cheers!

[DalainaRenee]

Love it 😍 I bet this was where the idea for Nightmare Before Christmas was born!

[zippy]

OMG Bobby didn’t let any of his tunes fall far from the original formula. Hahahahahahahhaa!!!

[bransonreese]

This is the song I walked down the aisle to

This needs MORE air time around Christmas.

Robbing Santa's sleigh?  That's pretty funny right there - what a great sequel to the Monster Mash!

[Kingkahn]

I only heard this once and it was when I was like... ten or so. For years I thought I had simply imagined the song... glad to know I wasn't

It was the night before Christmas when all through the castle
My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle
The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things
Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings
(It was a monsters' holiday)
But they were up to no good
(It was a monsters' holiday)
Didn't act like good monsters should
(It was a monsters' holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monsters' holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
They were making a list and checking it twice
Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike
A new chain for Yarnush
A brace for Igor's back
A speed shaver for Wolfman
A new cape for Drak
(It was a monsters' holiday)
But they were up to no good
(It was a monsters' holiday)
Didn't act like good monster's should
(It was a monsters' holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monsters' holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof
At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof
As Santa slid down the chimney wall
The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all
From beyond the moat, there arose such a clatter
I jumped to the window to see what was the matter
Like a bolt of lightning, it happened so quick
And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick
He began to dig down deep in his sack
And came up with the traction for Igor's back
Drak got his cape
Franky's trike made him behave
Even Wolfman was happy, now he can shave
(It was a monsters' holiday)
And all ended well
(It was a monsters' holiday)
And Santa was really swell
(It was a monsters' holiday)
No need to rob Santa's sleigh
(It was a monsters' holiday)
Maybe next year he'll come back
So the children everywhere were spared the grief
Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief
Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave
And never again rob sleighs or graves
(It was a monsters' holiday!)
Igor, what do you think of Santa now?
Santa good!"
And Santa said as he drove out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-wolf open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
Where is that reindeer with the red nose
On Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Cupid

[eriksojka]

Didn't know this song even existed.

[joesmiljkovich]

I don’t know why I know this exists but it does

[beverlypollack]

l think this  was the inspiration for     "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
