適合萬(wàn)圣節(jié)晚會(huì)放的歌曲：Monster Mash歌詞
萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夕(英語(yǔ)：Halloween，為“All Hallows' Eve”的縮寫(xiě))，在每年的10月31日，是西方世界的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，主要流行于撒克遜人后裔云集的美國(guó)、不列顛群島、澳大利亞、加拿大和新西蘭等西方國(guó)家。當(dāng)晚小孩會(huì)穿上化妝服，戴上面具，挨家挨戶收集糖果等。
萬(wàn)圣夜是諸圣節(jié)(All Hallows' Day)的前夜。其英語(yǔ)名稱中的“Hallow”源于中古英語(yǔ)的“halwen”，與“holy”詞源很接近，在蘇格蘭和加拿大的某些區(qū)域，諸圣節(jié)仍然被稱為“Allhallowmas”，意思是在紀(jì)念所有圣人(All Hallows)的那一天要舉行的彌撒(Mass)。
萬(wàn)圣節(jié)通常與靈異的事物聯(lián)系起來(lái)。歐洲傳統(tǒng)上認(rèn)為萬(wàn)圣夜是鬼怪世界最接近人間的時(shí)間，這傳說(shuō)與東亞的中元節(jié)與盂蘭節(jié)類似。美國(guó)明尼蘇達(dá)州的阿諾卡(Anoka)號(hào)稱是“世界萬(wàn)圣節(jié)之都”，每年都舉行大型的巡游慶祝。
《Monster Mash》
- Bobby Pickett
I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman,
Dracula, and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They played the mash, it caught on in a flash
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and shook his fist and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? "
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
The monster mash, it was graveyard smash
It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
The monster mash, and do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
