FRANKENSTEIN"S DAUGHTER - Nicholas Carras - "Bongo Party" (1958)
Here's some Friday night, schools out, I'm off til Monday, party music to start off the weekend. Page, Nicholas & Harold will all be there, so come on down and drink some beer! Wow, what a career Nicholas Carras had. Besides "Frankestein's Daughter," he also composed the music for "She Demons," "Missile To The Moon" & "The Astro-Zombies," the list goes on and on! Party!! Party!! Party!!!
GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW - The Renegades - "Charge" (1959)
It's hard to believe, but Yes, there is still more music from "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow." It's possible this movie had more songs than "Westside Story" & "Grease" put together, well, probably not really, but there is a lot of music in this movie & it's All Good, and it all holds up after all these years & that ain't easy to do!! Be the first to have a "Ghost Of Dragstrip Halloween" party in your town this year, it will be a blast!! Let's make it a new tradition, & don't forget to tell 'em that Eegah! & Tabonga sent you! Produced by none other than one of the most amazing minds in music, Mr. Kim Fowley, here's Charge It!!
GOJIRA, EBIRA, MOSURA: NANKAI NO DAIKETTO (Godzilla Versus The Sea Monster) - Masaru Satô - "Opening Credits" (1966)
Here's the opening credits from "Godzilla Versus The Sea Monster" composed by masestro deluxe Masaru Satô. Highly orchestrated, but it's got that electric guitar in there during the intro that gives it that edge! Basically another version of Mosura's theme and you should almost know this song by heart by now, so don't feel bad if you can't stop yourself from singing along. "Mosura, Mosura!"

THE DEVIL'S PARTNER - Ronald Stein - "Furnace Flats" (1962)
Here's yet another Ron Stein chugging little background musical interlude piece that's playing on the jukebox again. There's an obvious plot set-up in this scene, "where'd the money come from", but is it really supposed to be comic relief too? It's a small town, so you kind of get the idea, but you really need to see it, so...Get yer own copy or at least borrow one from your cousin!
El SONIDO PREHISTORICO (The Sound Of Horror) - Soledad Miranda - "Maria's Greek Dance" (1964)
As Maria, Soledad Miranda dances a Greek dance as requested in this 1964 Spanish film, this being the other dance sequence that makes up the majority of the best part of this sleeper film. It's quite a treat for the rest of the guys in the movie and no wonder that she went on to be in "Eugénie Sex Happening" & "Vampiros Lesbos" among others before being snatched away in an auto accident in 1970. What a sad loss, only 27 years old! Here's to your memory Soledad!!

THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER - Joan Janis - "Dance, Baby, Dance" (Instrumental Version) (1965)
Here's a scene where Mark is out limping around on the beach & literally stumbles upon the girls dancing innocently to a reprise of the title tune "Dance, Baby, Dance" but this time Frankie Jr's vocals are replaced by a smokin' sax! A real fave!! Let's go clamming!

IM STAHLNETZ DES DR. MABUSE (The Return Of Dr. Mabuse) - Peter Sandloff - The Flamethrower Scene" (1961)
It's not every day that you get to write about flamethrowers in the movies, but tonight's the lucky time. In "The Return Of Dr. Mabuse" not only do they use a flamethrower, but it's mounted on an armored truck, just for the operator's safety. Now back in our day we used to used Hand-held flamethrowers, much more personal and equally effective when you're torching some innocent lady on a dimly-lit street! Here's thinking maybe these people have a few personal grieviances that must have been festering for quite awhile. Curious little tune to set the scene!
