Are you ready to move your feet to the wicked beat? Let's ROCK! It's not trash! It's a monster mash! Time to have a blast! Eerie monsters dance to this graveyard smash. Bobby Pickett's 60s hit song Monster Mash sets the dance floor on fire.

Don't bug out! There is something in the sky! Sheb Wooley wrote this next tune! It's too cool! Covering Sheb's song is Ben Colder, he is shifting this wicked party into wild, fast gear. Don't pig out. It's time to dance. Ben Colder doing The Purple People Eater #2. Please dance along with me!

Coming up next, for our audience of vampires, ghosts, and goblins, a slow dance was requested. Grim Grinning Ghost playing their song D.

Time to take a break! Don't fly away on those broomsticks! We will be right back! By the way, there are plenty of refreshments. Don't be spooked. Be sure to have some wicked witches brew!

Are you all on cloud 9? Hang loose! The love potion is the solution. Freakin' out! The ghouls, ghosts, and goblins are on the scene. Looking uptight, they look rather mean. Wickedly, a love potion has them under its spell.

Who knew the Clovers originally sang this song? Making it to Billboard's #3 spot in 1964, the Searcher's version was a hit. Give it up for the Searcher's Love Potions Number 9!

Hey, cats and kittens are you having a blast? Screams of fright for our next tune, Santana's Evil Way. Rock on!

Creatures and monsters prowling about, why not? It's Halloween night! Is everyone having a ball? It's Devil Doll by Roy Orbinson. Roy always rocks the house.

As the werewolves howl and the vampires swoop down,

time to dance to Bobby Goldsboro's Voodoo Woman.

Oh!

Rock on! Happy Halloween! Take care of your slug bug, it's time to make tracks!

Later!

Writer's Notes: Obviously, the 60s slang was fitting for this fright night Halloween party. As a teen during the time period, the 60s playlist for my fright night Halloween party was a clear choice. Right on!

For your translation of the slang, please see below:

Ball - To Party; Blast - Had a great time; Brew - Beer; Bug Out - Leave the premises; Cat- Guy; Cloud 9 - really happy; Cool - Nice; Crash - go to bed / sleep; Don't Flip Your Wig - In other words, don't go ape.; Freakin' Out - getting excited or a panic attack; Grooving - to take great pleasure; Groovy - Nice or neat marvelous; Hang Loose - Take it easy; Kitten - Girl; Later - Goodbye; Make Tracks - to leave or depart the area; Pig out - Overeat; Rock On - exactly or I second that; and Slug Bug - a Volkswagon beetle.

Thank you for reading. Happy Halloween!
