POPULARITY
We're half way through the year and that means we are half way to the holidays! To celebrate, we of course watched the never-seminal Star Wars Holiday Special, a movie that definitely isn't a spoof, but, definitely is a novelty. Whether this is a movie or not is a fair debate though... The holidays in the summer celebration continues as we take a gander at the Monster Mash sequel "Monster's Holiday" and, finally, Kelly shows us his favorite Christmas present: a phone case.
Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers [00:22] a side: "Monster Mash" b side: "Monsters' Mash Party" Garpax Records GP-44167 1962 Indeed, the greatest pop song ever recorded. I think I'm going to name my next adventuring party The Crypt Kicker Five. Buck Owens [06:20] a side: "(It's a) Monster's Holiday" b side: "Great Expectations" Capitol Records 3907 1974 Yup, that's a Buck Owens song, sure as stakin. Wait, sexy sensations?! Yikes! Welcome to the 70s I guess. Derrick Morgan a side: "Moon Hop" [12:03] Reggaites b side: "Harris Wheel" [15:18] Crab Records CRAB 32 1969 Love this a-side to the moon and back. Charlie Rich [17:48] a side: "The Most Beautiful Girl" b side: "I Feel Like Going Home" Epic Records 5-11040 1973 Ah the rich vocal stylings the Silver Fox, Charlie Rich. Some exemplary countrypolitan. Palace Songs [26:01] a side: "The Mountain" b side: "(End of) Travelling" Palace Records PR3 1995 Landscape as metaphor? The Byrds [32:01] a side: "Mr. Spaceman" b side: "What's Happening?!?!" Columbia Records 4-43766 1966 And thus Space Rock was born. Or wait, was it Country Rock? Millie Small [37:34] a side: "My Boy Lollipop" b side: "Sweet William" Smash Records S-1411 1970 (1964) The single that helped launch Island Records. The Angels [41:21] a side: "My Boyfriend's Back" b side: "Now" Smash Records S-1834 1963 Wait, is the flipside a comedy track? Music Behind the DJ: "The Mexican Shuffle" by Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass.

Are you excited about Halloween? Chances are you're more excited than our resident Halloween Grinch, Ian. He is literally complaining about Halloween again as I type this episode description. Anyway, this week we covered two Christmas songs best suited to this spookiest of seasons: "Monster's Holiday" by Bobby Pickett and "All I Want for Christmas is Halloween" by Happy Fangs.
