Monster Mash was always the kick-off of the official Halloween party time during my young school days, signifying that the time for learning was over and the time for my favorite day of the year was beginning. Why they thought we could learn anything with the knowledge that costumes – usually a punk for me – and candy, candy candy, waited for us, I'll never know.
Jim and I still play this Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Cryptkickers hit every year for the ghoulish holiday and even when the mood strikes us at other times in the year. Although that's a little bit like playing the wedding march in preparation for taking a shower–it just doesn't work the same magic.
But what do you think?
