BLOOD OF DRACULA - Jerry Blaine - "Puppy Love" (1957)

Probably one of the other 'most famous' Monster Movie hit teen songs was this catchy little number from the 1957 horror, "Blood oF Dracula." Once again, despite the odds in some unbelievably horrible situation happening somewhere, there's still time to throw in a little Pop song, almost like a Renoir film, all happy and sad at the same time. Look at that mug, could you sing about Puppy Love knowing that face was out there? Written and performed by Jerry Blaine, if you've never heard it before, the wait is over, you can now move on and get your own copy.

STING OF DEATH - Neil Sedaka - "Do The Jellyfish" (1965)

Here's a little jewel you don't hear about every day. It seems Neil Sedaka's amazing hit career was waning, so probably out of some desperation move, he agreed to do this song for "Sting Of Death" in 1965. Millie Small had come out with "My Boy Lollipop" only a year earlier in 1964, so this was actually quite an early use of the ska rhythm for an American song, and is quite contagious, but how many things CAN you rhyme with jella?? Now this is really a film you have to see to believe!!!

THE GIANT GILA MONSTER - Jack Marshall/Don Sullivan "The New Single" (1959)

Right before "The Giant Gila Monster" busts through the wall, they've got quite a little Texas dance party goin' on, and it's just a perfect time to break-out Chad's new single. Here's the good stuff from this 1959 classic which is available almost anywhere if you want to see the whole thing!

THE LOST MISSILE - Fred Engelberg - "My Cousin Says Go Go Go" (1958)

It's Friday again and here it is already, our 100th post. It's a super special one time celebration kind of deal. We never planned on using videos, but just this one time! Here's something, we're sure you're only going to hear or see right here first, a small scene from "The Lost Missile" from 1958, where this guy played by Fred Engelberg is on TV singing a folk song & they need to break in for a public service announcement. This song is great, but it's so short you should just watch it over and over until you think you fully understand the deep meaning within! A big Thanx to everybody who has taken the time to drop a comment, it's always appreciated, "So keep your faith!" Here's the video and the audio file!

BLOOD THIRST - "Some Very Sleazy Music With A Deadly Ending" (1965)

"Blood Thirst!" What can you say that hasn't already been repeated many, many times? Probably second only to "Citizen Kane" to many film historians as far as reel significance is concerned. Here's another stunning example of some Filipino ultra sleaze-lounge with a bad ending! Get your own bad self a copy, you won't believe the sheer magnitude and depth of this classic! We also own a large bridge in San Francisco that we need to sell if anyone is interested!

REPTILICUS - Dirch Passer - "Reptilicus Song" (1961)

In "Reptilicus" we were lucky enough to get two songs. Besides the marvelous Birthe Wilke song, there was a second one, a fun little tune from the night watchman, Mikkwlawn Peterson, played perfectly by the late Dirch Passer! Enjoy the "Reptilicus Song" with your kids, you'll have a great time! I'm sure it was all the rage in Denmark in 1961!

HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE - Molly Bee - "Heartbreak U.S.A." (1967)

Molly Bee

Kinda like a country version of "Travelin' Man" by Ricky Nelson, but from a woman's viewpoint, but only in concept, the songs are completely different! Molly is Hot in her cowgirl outfit no doubt, and this is one of the better songs in the movie. "Heartbreak U.S.A." by Molly Bee from that crazy offbeat country/horror musical, "Hillbilly's In A Haunted House."
