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."

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!

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!!
