about

An original classic from 1986!

lyrics

Every October 'round Halloween I get together with my beast fiends, the Wolfman, the Mummy and Frankenstein, we go into a crazy rapping
scene, we do the rap. The Monster Rap.

Well the Mummy invented this rapping thing 'cause he's so wrapped up he can barely sing, so he slaps his leg 'til he gets that beat, and the only thing he's wearing is an old bed sheet. He do the rap. The Monster Rap

Now Wolfman's a monster that you should know, his feet are hairy and his brow is low and when the moon is full and the nights are cold, the Wolfman knows how to rap and roll. Rap. The Monster Rap.

Now everyone's favorite is Frankenstein 'cause he's a zipper-neck dumb good natured guy. And even if they think his rap is lame they induct him to the Monster Hall of Fame. He do the rap. The Monster Rap.

Now you probably guessed they call me Count, I'm a master blaster, I can rap it out. And every year around Halloween we get into a monster rapping scene. Now Wolfie and Mummy and Frankie and me, we wish you a way cool Halloween. Have a real safe trip when you trick or treat, and don't forget the crazy monster beat!

But rather than try to label the sound—because everybody has a different idea (Americana/roots/urban folk pop/indie acoustic), I just go for three qualities in my music: it’s rhythmic, melodic and memorable. ... more
