It's been 9 years since we lost Bobby Pickett. I'm grateful for all the wonderful songs he gave us and his sense of humor. He was a real talent. My daughter hates anything I love (she's in her late 20's) but when I was playing The Monster Mash she was singing and dancing along with the song. She told me that she loves this song. Go figure. So now it's official, he spans generations of fans. Thank you for all the fun, laughter and good times you gave us through your music

I remember the first time I heard Monster Mash my brother had a friend named Gordon. I used to tease my brother by telling him that the song was about his friend. I've been singing this song a lot lately. Thank you for making us laugh and giving me such wonderful memories. Just watched Monster Mash The Movie and enjoyed it a lot. You were taken from us way too early, but your legacy will live on for generations to come.

I am also from Massachusetts - Brighton,. a suburb of Boston. The 50's and 60's were a great time to be a kid and a teen. Thank you for helping to make it such a wonderful time

Other than "I Want My Baby Back" this is THE song and one you never grow tired of.
Somehow it just picks up your spirits ( no pun intended) and males the day a little brighter.
It is always sad when an icon passes but he is forever immortal !

My Prayers are with the family.
I was 15 when the "Monster Mash " was born. I bought the 45, and I still have it. I play it at Halloween and also have it on a CD that I play when I go trick or treating, I never get tired of hearing it. My 8 year old Grandson Loves it also, he always ask to hear it everytime we are in the vehicle.
The "Monster Mash" lives on forever, it will always be remembered. You will be missed.

The song by the artist (Mr.Pickett)
was definitely a "grave-yard smash"
as I recalled during earlier years.
We never met the artist in this
life although his hit tune will
remain in the minds of many peoples
the world over. We extend God's
grace to his family, many friends,
and love ones.
