rtstuff Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 1.Monster Hop. Bert Convy, the same guy that would make a name for himself hosting tv game shows and he also did a quite of bit of acting on tv series shows. My friend had an old 45 recording of this and we use to dress up and he would play the Monster Hop as we gave out goodies to the kids. This was about 30 years ago. 2. Ms. Ghost. Don Henley. This has quite interesting lyrics that are somewhat suggestive and somewhat erotic. rtstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappled Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Marie Laveau Down in Lou´siana where the black trees grow Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux. She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone, And anyone wouldn´t leave her alone. She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE... Another man done gone. She live in a swamp in a hollow log With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog. She got a bent bony body and stringy hair, And if she ever seen you messin´ round there, She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE... Another man done gone. And then one night when the moon was black, Into the swamp came Handsome Jack. A no-good man like you all know, And he was lookin´ around for Marie Laveaux . He said, "Marie Laveau, you lovely witch, Why don´t you gimme a little charm that´ll make me rich. Gimme million dollars, and I´ll tell you what I´ll do... This very night I´m gonna marry you." It´ll be UMMMMMMMM... Another man done gone. So Marie did some magic and she shook a little sand, Made a million dollars, and she put it in his hand. Then she looked and she said , "Hey hey, I´m gettin´ ready for my wedding day." But ol´ Handsome Jack said "Good-bye Marie. You too damn ugly for a man like me." So Marie started shakin´, her fangs started gnashin´, Her body started shakin´, and her eyes started flashin´. She went GREEEEEEEEEEEE... Another man done gone. So if you ever get down where the black tree grow And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux, And if she ever asks you to make her your wife, Man, you better stay with her for the rest of your life Or it´ll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE... Another man done gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sorry, man, didn't catch that. I had my Jumpin Gene Simmons nom seconded too. You know what they say about great minds, don't you? No... not that one. The one about them being cluttered like their sock drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well I haven't kicked in with mine yet. They'll be brilliant of course. How about poor UncleJoe ? I think just about all the ones he mentioned in that Halloween CD he made up have been pilfered by others. (Haunted House, by Jumpin' Gene Simmons was first mentioned by him !) Got some more for us Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Here's my first one. The CCR cover was mentioned, but how about the original by Screamin Jay Hawkins ? The man built a stage show around it. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I like their's better ! You've probably seen old footage of Screamin Jay emerging from his coffin when he used to perform the song. That's when he was alive. He was a shocker. A few of the songs he did were banned from radio play because of their lyrics, but I really only know 'I Put A Spell'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
