GOJIRA, EBIRA, MOSURA: NANKAI NO DAIKETTO (Godzilla Versus The Sea Monster) - Pair Bambi - "Samashite Mosura" (1966)

Well, the same year that Eric Spear died, Masaru Satô wrote this song. In 1966, The Peanuts had been replaced by Pair Bambi as Mothra's Little Beauties for whatever reason, and here they are singing "Samashite Mosura" which translates to "Mothra Awake." It takes awhile for Mothra to wake up, so this music continues through the movie off and on for a long time before they finally get that stubborn Mothra to come alive!

Being redundant really isn't very cool, but we're serious here, go & get this movie, and once again, for all of you not paying attention, it's called "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster." Got it?

DER FALL X701 (Frozen Alive) - Eric Spear - "Opening Credits" (1964)

This 1964 West German film was released in the U.S. as "Frozen Alive." It has a Killer jazzy soundtrack. Composer Eric Spear was active in the movies from the 1930's to the 1960's doing soundtracks for various genres of film. The music for "Der Fall X701" is really exceptional, & we think you'll dig it. Here's one for Eric, who passed away in 1966! What a great composer! Let's have a standing ovation, please!! Hey, is that monkey poking the finger?? What the.......

A BUCKET OF BLOOD - Alex Hassilev - "Murderer" (1959)

Almost out of "A Bucket Of Blood" material, but not quite yet. Here's the truthfully poignant folk song about a "Murderer" that plays when Walter is prompted for info on his next work of art. The expressions in the photos on Anthony Carbone's face are priceless, to say the least, and if you don't know what I'm talking about, do yourself and your family a favor & get yourself a copy of one of THE most interesting films EVER made, "A Bucket Of Blood." This song is sung by Alex Hassilev, one of the original members of the ultra famous folk group, "The Limeliters," and is a real hoot!!

LAS LUCHADORAS CONTRA EL MEDICO ASESINO (Doctor Of Doom) - Antonio Díaz Conde - "Girl Talk" 1963

"It's just something I can't forget, they murdered her 3 nights ago"?? Now let me get this straight, they murdered her sister 3 nights ago and she can't forget it, no, I don't get it either, maybe it had something to do with that dogpile. Women wrestlers, the logic, go figure!! Only used as real background music, we just had to include this sleazy little piece because this amazing film needs more exposure! So here you go, from 1963, a little conversation from the Mexican movie released in the U.S. as "Doctor Of Doom."

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

Another stunning example of how talented Arch Hall & The Archers really were, here's a fantastic instrumental from the "Poolside Party," scene in "Eegah!" Get ready, you're gonna love this one, because it is one smokin' hot shoulda been a hit, as classic as anything you will ever hear in your life! Nice sax!!!!

Poolside Party

MANTANGO (Attack Of The Mushroom People) - Sadao Bekku - "Hallucination" (1963)

In "Attack Of The Mushroom People," well, you see, these people get stranded on this island with a bunch of weird fungi growing all over the place, and even though they seem intelligent enough, they still eat these weird, extra large, oddly coloured mushrooms, so, now, what do you think is going to happen? "Hallucination" by composer Sadao Bekku pretty much sums up the whole thing!

MONSTER A GO-GO - The Other Three - "Theme Song" (1965)

Bill!!! Herschell!!! My word, what were you thinking? You know we really hate to say this, but yes, the music by The Other Three, IS THE best part of the movie "Monster A Go-Go." Period!! We advise all of you to rent a copy from Netflix or somewhere, just to prove we ain't lieing! Great movie to drink cheap beer and make out to, they probably made a fortune at the drive-ins of America in 1965.
Monster A-Go Go

EL SONIDO PREHISTORICO - (The Sound Of Horror) - Luis de Pablo - "Calliope Dance" (1964)

Okay already, enough of the common everyday stuff, here's a Very Obscure & also very, very strange song from that oh, so, popular Spanish film, "The Sound Of Horror," released in America in 1964. Sound of Horror, get it? The monster is Invisible!! No Cheap-ass makeup required this time, so we can save like $7.29! The maid's name is Calliope; she's the one standing in the hall, and so it figgers that the music sounds like a Music Box going at 78 RPM. 30 years before New Order on speed! This is music coming from the radio, & the blonde gal is actually dancing to it. You just gotta see it!!! It is Unreal!

HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND - Karl Bette & Willy Mattes - "Opening Credits" (1960)

Here's a real short, swingin' & sleazy selection that needs no further explanation! The opening credits sequence from "Horrors Of Spider Island."

Horrors Of Spider Island - Opening Credits

THE DEVIL'S PARTNER - Ronald Stein - "On The Jukebox" (1962)

Another small town cafe scene where someone drops a coin in the jukebox before the conversation gets going, and one more rockin' little Ron Stein number always gets the job done right. From "The Devil's Partner," here's that song from on the jukebox as a very cool Ed Nelson enters the room.

Devils Partner Jukebox

YEEHAH!!!

All right, all links reposted and tested and everything is in perfect working order as long as we don't exceed our bandwidth again, but still have got to find a better place to host the songs. Should still be able to provide a couple more new tunes before the night is over. This is probably about the half way point down this internet musical highway, because we're not sure if we can find more than about 160 songs that fit into the format we're set up, maybe if we're real lucky, we might make it to 200, but be prepared, it will end some time. Thanks for all the encouragement! And after getting all that done, I found out that my pal, the guy who inspired us to do this blog, Reverend Tom Frost, is living on the street. Now we're talking some serious injustice here & it's kind of a new little dark cloud hanging over all our heads, and has taken some of the fun out of this whole deal. Good luck Tom!!

WHAT A MESS!!!

There was a big fire in the laboratory and all the link files went down for a couple of days. Sorry about that, corrections have been made, we're looking for a better file hosting site, and for now about 70% of the links have been restored. Everything should be back at 100% by tomorrow, and then everything can resume again hopefully!

HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE - Sonny James - "The Cat Came Back" (1967)

This one goes out for our ole buddy Reverend Frost in South Of Hell, France! This one's for you Tom!! This tune is by none other than Sonny James his self, it's "The Cat Came Back" from "Hillbillys In A Haunted House," vintage 1967. It's prefect and besides, we gotta find some way to work in all 13 of the songs from this movie somehow! Everybody else, go buy this movie, I guarantee you will not regret it, I promise!

GOJIRA, EBIRA, MOSURA: NANKAI NO DAIKETTO (Godzilla Versus The Sea Monster) - Masaru Satô - "The Dance Contest" (1966)

All jokes aside this time, because this is one great film!! This movie has got it all, it looks awesome, it's funny, it's got big monsters & it has superior music by Masaru Satô. The dance contest music is just the best there is. Killer groove, horn section and guitars. It's SO good, we're doing a twofer, the English and the Japanese versions, just so you can really hear how voiceover changes things. This song is like a drug, it is so addicting. You can really believe those crazy kids were able to dance for 3 days if the music was this hot! Please, do yourself a favor, rent or buy this movie, it is a true cinematic wonder!! In the mean time, enjoy these tasty tidbits!

BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE - Alexander Lazlo & Fred Katz - "Opening Credits" (1959)

Alexader Lazlo and an uncredited Fred Katz working together, now you know that's going to be a sleaze fest from heaven, and here it is for all of us to enjoy one more time. Make yourself a double martini, transport your mind back to 1959, and get ready for the opening credits from "Beast From Haunted Cave."
Beast From Haunted Cave

INVASION OF THE SAUCER-MEN - Ronald Stein - "Opening Credits" (1957)

Now, this isn't sleazy jazz, and it sure doesn't rock, but the "Flight Of The Bumblebee" wannabe reprise by Ron Stein IS just interesting enough to be included here. Listening to this, I keep expecting Samantha from "Bewitched" to pop up and start twitching her nose somewhere. Only a little over a minute long, this is the opening credits sequence from the 1957 classic "Invasion Of The Saucermen."

NIGHT OF THE GHOULS - Edward D. Wood Jr. - "Juveniles" (1959)

"Is this the major horror of our time?" Sirens and wild drumming accompany this stoic "Juveniles" narration while the kids go wild in the street. Back in the 50's, JD's were a big problem! What does it all have to do with this movie? About as much as anything else, and that is a fact! From the 1959 Ed Wood classic, "Night Of The Ghouls," this is "The Juveniles!"

THE DEVIL'S HAND - Allyn Ferguson/Manuel Francisco - "The Opening Credits" (1962)

It's Friday Night so it's time to rock and roll, and In our humble opinion, here's one of THE best songs ever to play during an opening credits sequence of any movie, period! A great surf type instrumental with sax, right in line with some of The Rumblers best grooves. This movie also had Tony Rock in it and the director was William Hole, the same guy that directed "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow." It's "The Devil's Hand" by Allyn Ferguson & Manuel Francisco. Allyn Ferguson went on to to compose music for a whole lot of TV shows, including 3 Monkees episodes, The Everly Brothers Show, Charlie's Angels, and a horde of TV movies in the 70's & 80's. By all means, go out and get yourself a copy of "The Devil's Hand!"

BLOOD THIRST - "She-Devil Dance" (1965)

Here's the deal! The Filipino club owner boss makes his Woman dance in his club every night. She really looks like some kind of blonde vampire, kind of like, if Ann Coulter had some meat on her stinking bones, and wasn't so damn ugly, but with the same vile & evil spirit! So picture that & listen to the haunting sounds of the music from this indescribable dance scene from "Blood Thirst. Note the applause at the end of the song to see how much the audience appreciated her performance. These people were hard up for entertainment for sure!

She Devil Dance

BIJO TO EKITAININGEN (The H-Man) - Masaru Satô - "At The Club" (1958)

You know there's a lot of people who ask us, Eegah!! & Tabonga!, why ARE you doing this? Are you insane?? And we must admit, we probably are, because nobody has really been asking us anything, it's just the voices and the music in our collective heads that we hear. So, while we're on the subject of insanity, here's another super hip jazz number from one of the "club" scenes in "The H-Man." Composed by Masaru Satô, this little tune is way too cool, and totally insane, once again with the twin saxes that just won't quit! Killer!! just wish it was a lot longer!!

At The Club
