I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE - "Swinging Bar Scene" (1958)

It's 1958, and "Slapsie" Maxie Rosenbloom is the bartender in a Sleazy Bar with some Swingin' music going on, the regulars are all acting odd, & they're tougher than the real ex-boxer, so why wouldn't a woman follow the stranger that just messed up Maxie out into the empty streets of Night?? Rent "I Married A Monster From Outer Space" and find out!! She probably should have been a little nicer, I guess nobody likes obnoxious hookers, not even aliens from outer space.

GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW - The Renegades - "Geronimo" (1959)

The house band from this 1959 film was The Renegades, and considering that Kim Fowley produced this record, it's no wonder they seem to have a pension for firing guns in the air, & everybody thinks it's cool & perfectly fine social behavior. From "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow," the Renegades here are doing a tasty little number called "Geronimo." Great band!!!

VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS - Beau Brummels - "When It Comes To Your Love" (1965)

By 1965, schlocky movies started to get some more well-known actors & musicians, it didn't really make the movies any better, in fact, many actually started getting worse. "Village Of The Giants" is a perfect example. Here's a pretty good song by The Beau Brummels!!!

When It Comes To Your Love

EEGAH! - Arch Hall & The Archers - "Vickie" (1962)

No matter what, and despite the fact that there is a giant caveman running around, In 1962, there's always time to stop & reflect for a moment or two, so just like reality, you have good and bad, sappy and mad all happening at the same time. Arch Hall is a genius, & you should make an effort to find and buy every piece of work he was ever involved in. Period! Sit back, relax, picture yourself poolside at some cheap motel and enjoy "Vickie" by Arch Hall and The Archers!

Arch Hall - Vickie

ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE - Marlene Willis - "You're My Living Doll" (1958)

It's 1958, a time of giants & small people in Bert I. Gordon's world, but whether big or small, Albert Glasser would be called in to do the score again. This time from "Attack Of The Puppet People" we get Marlene Willis doing quite a remarkable job of singing this cute little tune despite the fact that she's teeny tiny & a crazy person is about to do whatever they want with her, but somehow here's "You're My Living Doll." The Irony of it all!! The lead-in is some swinging dance music.

MOSURA (Mothra) - The Peanuts - "Mosura No Uta" (1961)

The Peanuts, Emi and Yumi Ito, would have some brief success in the U.S. after the release of Mothra. The group recorded an English only album with covers of such songs as "California Dreamin" and "Proud Mary" & also were on The Ed Sulivan Show. Here, from the 1961 Toho film "Mosura" we have The Peanuts doing "Mosura No Uta" with music by Yuji Koseki. If this is weird enough for you, go out & buy or rent the DVD or buy a Peanuts CD!

Sorry, the soundclip is no longer available!!

A BUCKET OF BLOOD - Fred Katz - "Opening Credits/Beat Poetry" (1959)

The opening scene of "Bucket Of Blood" is brilliant, with sleazy music by Fred Katz & the overstated beat poetry of Maxwell H. Brock played ever so perfectly by the late Julian Burton. Lay back & dig! Dig?? Without a doubt, one of THE best movies ever made!! "You'll be sick from laughing!" And yes, he did say "sour cream of circumstance."Bucket Of Blood-Opening Credits
