LYCANTHROPUS (Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory) - Adam Keefe - "The Ghoul In School" (1962)
It's the opening credits for "Werewolf in A Girl's Dormitory" & it's one of the coolest short songs you'll ever hear. Now we need to find somebody with original tapes so we can get the whole song, or is this the whole song? This is a movie, so this is probably all a trick! "The Ghoul In School" written by Marilyn Stewart & Frank Owens, and sung by Adam Keefe is available to all via public domain, and is available for free download at the Internet Archive. The movie is nothing like the song, but Very Interesting and you can't beat the price!

TAEKOESU YONGARY (Yongary, Monster From The Deep) - Jeong-geun Jeon - "Yongary Club/Dance Mix" (1967)
Here's a couple of great bits from this 1967 giant monster classic, at first there's some guys gorging themselves with some smaltzy music and some great dialogue going on, then there's some rockin' music in this club about to get destroyed and all the people look like they are on some kind of Soma! That is followed by the scene where Yongary is woke up by the kid & starts dancin' to the rockin' beat! Unique to the genre I do believe! This, almost more than anything else, trust us, You really need to see! The composer of the music for this film, Jeong-geun Jeon has 283 credits to his history if you check it on IMDB, now that is quite an accomplishment!! Pretty sure Yongary is doing The "Shing-A-Ling!"

LAS LUCHADORAS CONTRA EL MEDICO ASESINO (Doctor Of Doom) - Antonio Díaz Conde - "The Abduction" 1963
These wrestler gals are tough, so when they're walking down a dark alley late at night, you still better sneak up on them, and it always helps to some some really sleazy jazz to accompany the vile act of abduction. From "Doctor Of Doom," sneaky, swinging, but not too smart!

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!
