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 In 1966, The Peanuts had been replaced by Pair Bambi as Mothra's Little Beauties for whatever reason, and here they are singing "Samashite Mosura" which translates to "Mothra Awake."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."

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.
