31 Oct 2007 -- it's a Halloween Spooktacular!
« on: October 30, 2007, 10:05:34 PM »
Last year all four 10@10s did Halloween sets.  Wonder if the same will hold true this time around.

ETA: just saw Ali's posting of the KBCO setlist from today, which says "Tomorrow: 1981".  So no Grand Slam, I guess.

I was walking in the Castro
Halloween nite
when my eyes beheld
an eerie sight
"We Close at 8pm" signs
began to rise
and suddenly, to my surprise
There was no bash!
There was no Castro bash!
No one was trashed!
No one was smoking hash!
There was no bash!
I'm going home to watch M*A*S*H*...

I thought that must be the Shaggs, though I've never heard it before.  Too bad (sort of) that we didn't hear the whole thing.  Good Orson Welles, though.

actually that was Paul Frees, if I'm not mistaken (trying to sound like Welles).  

Sorry but that Shaggs thing was amateurish and awful -- or was that the point?

That's Danny Elfman, isn't it?  Certainly up his alley, though it doesn't really sound like him singing.

That sounded like an actual rock band doing a cover of the song -- it didn't seem to be the sndtk version.  Brilliant score, in any case.

VHM "Mr D".

That's the Shaggs' gig.  Wouldn't want to listen to an album's worth of them, but I enjoyed that bit.  Paul Frees, eh?  Interesting.  He narrated a bunch of cartoons, right?  I know Edward Everett Horton did "Fractured Fairy Tales".  What did Frees do?

Never occurred to me that Mr. D was the devil.  Learn something new every day.

Yep, kind of. It was a recording made by three adolescent sisters in the 60s and produced and financed by their dad, thinking misguidedly that they were the next Beatles. It's been kind of a camp classic since the 80s at least. Surprised you haven't heard them. Their big "hit" is My Pal Foot-foot, about their dog I think.

And the obligatory "Dead Man's Party".  I still love hearing this one.

The traditional second appearance of Elfman, although as Mike said, the earlier one was just as songwriter as that the first one was likely a cover--and a nicely done one at that.

Glad Dave is pulling in a few different things so far this year (the Stones, the alt version of Nightmare). I'd bet we can still count on Monster Mash, I Put A Spell on You, and the like.

Frees was the voice of many, many cartoon characters back in the day. He was Dudley Do-Right's boss (Nell's father) and countless others for the Jay Ward studio (Rocky & Bullwinkle, Hoppity Hooper, George of the Jungle).
