Creepy Songs: Rock Lobster

25 Oct

This week we are going to spin our crazy Halloween kaleidoscope and bring you creepy tunes all week. This does not mean that I will be posting ANY Christmas songs when that season approaches.  Well, maybe Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”   But that’s about it.  You can thank my mother’s unhealthy obsession with The Ray Conniff Singers for that.

I have no idea why “Rock Lobster” is on every Halloween compilation list, but it is.  It’s not really scary except to think about lobsters crawling around all over and the trill “oooh ahhhs” that the girls sing in between lyrics.  The 1978 song was the first single for the B-52′s and they rocked it.  Actually, they Rock Lobster-ed it.  Check it out along with the zany video for the song.  This week is going to be fun.
