Arguably the most popular novelty song ever, Bobby "Boris" Pickett charted three separate times with this over the years, reaching #1 in the fall of '62. Bobby was in a band where he'd drop in a Boris Karloff imitation when they played the Diamonds' "Little Darlin' " and the crowds loved it. He landed a record deal with Gary S. Paxton, who was responsible for "Alley Oop," another novelty chart-topper. The song parodied the Mashed Potato dance craze. Guaranteed to get your Halloween party rockin'.
