MESA OF LOST WOMEN - Hoyt S. Curtin - "The Evil Dance" (1953)
Wow, 1953, what to do, what to do? Make a movie. "Mesa Of Lost Women" sounds like a good idea! Yeah, let's do it, and we'll get Hoyt S. Curtin to do the music, we need some cool jazzy music for the "evil dance" number! Wow, 1953, what you could get away with! Hoyt S. Curtin went on to have a killer resume. A mere 19 years later or so, he'd be doing the music for "Josie & The Pussycats In Outer Space," "Goober And The Ghost Chase," "Tabitha And Adam And The Clown Family," "Partridge Family 2200 A.D.," "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park" & so much more, the entire list is unbelievable, so if this song has cartoon elements, it was a mere blueprint for his future!!

Well, just in case you've all been livng under a rock or somewhere else even more obscure than that for the last 50 years, then you are very familiar with the ultimate 1958 classic, "The Blob." Sung by one guy, Bernie Nee, overdubbed to get that special sound, there's really nothing else to say about this Bacharach/David song, except, listen to it one more time, and bask in the wonder of that which is The Five Blobs doing the music from the beginning credits of "The Blob." Now somehow manage to go on with your life. One More Time!!!! Rent it or Buy it, just don't touch it!!

1958 Toho film "Bijo to Ekitainingen" (The H-Man) had some great music, besides a couple of classic vocals, there was also this awesome swingin' club scene, featuring some over the top drums, with a solo that's a cross between Gene Krupa & Animal & some funktastic twin saxes!! Damn! How was I to know there was a party going on?!!

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - The Del-Aires - "Joyride" (1964)
Back to the beach in 1964 with The Del-Aires, and possibly the first doo-wop surf tune. We're getting into some serious crossover material here. Once again The Del-Aires prove how far ahead of the pack they were. Everything is still quite innocent at this point in the film, and we get a bit more comic relief before the horror starts up. "Joyride" (My name's not Johnny) from "The Horror Of Party Beach."
