When taverns advertise they have live music, do you ever wonder about the alternative?

It would give new meaning to the phrase " The place was really dead tonight." Perhaps they would lay off employees and just hire a skeleton crew.

I can only picture the song list now……

"Dead Man’s Party"

"Living Dead Girl" with special appearance by Rob Zombie

"Death of it All" (ok Rob Zombie is sticking around for a second set)

"Dead Girl Superstar" (Ok Rob Zombie just took over the stage)

"House of 1000 Corpses" (Ok this dead audience are all turning into Zombie fans!!!)

Well that sure did liven up this dead crowd! Well they are still dead… but nothing like living zombies to get the tavern rocking. Oh look!! Just in time for the "Thriller" encore!!

  2. Why not hire "Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five", I hear they do the Graveyard shift. At least you wouldn’t have to listen to dead air, and the employees wouldn’t be dead on their feet.

    THE MONSTER MASH

    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 Wolf Man
    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
    He 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
    And it’s a graveyard smash
    It’s now the mash
    It’s 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

  4. Good answers….I love the video of Monster Mash that SanMan played for Halloween. Too funny.
    My oldest son used to like a band that would be suitable for this establishment: Dead Kennedys.
    He actually got pulled over once by an officer who noticed his Dead Kennedys bumper sticker and thought he was evil. "Don’t like the Kennedys, eh’, son." ……… It wasn’t my favorite car decor either but good grief!
