Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

they did the mash,
(the monster mash)
it was a graveyard smash
a Halloween standard, no idea who recorded it
It was a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater
My beloved monster and me,
we go everywhere together
Shrek Soundtrack
I walked in the house the big bad Fresh Prince
but Freddy killed all that noise real quick...
---Will Smith, "Nightmare on My Street"
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
(Alan Menken/Howard Ashman)
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time
-Alice Cooper
Yes, *I* know and *you* know that in the true tradition of the story Frankenstein was the doctor and not the "monster", but I am sure that these lyrics were intended to refer to the latter so I'm playing them!!
So instead I must leave you
In care of my brother,
The wizard who lives on the hill
Who has promised his art
Will soon pierce through the heart
Of this dragon that's keeping you ill
-from "The Secret Garden"
Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
And the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kind of eerie
But it proves my chaos theory
And I don't think I'll be coming back again
Oh, no
("Jurassic Park", the Weird Al parody of "MacArthur Park")
When the dragons grow too mighty
to slay by pen or sword...
"Madrigal" - Rush
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
No One Is Alone
from "Into the Woods"
It's close To midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark.
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart.
Thriller ~ Michael Jackson
Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
Metallica
America, where are you now,
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
"Monster"
Steppenwolf
Oh no
There goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla!
Yeah...
-Blue Oyster Cult
Abiyoyo Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo bi-yoyo bi-yoyo
Why he's singing about me!
Abiyoyo a story/song about a giant named Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger (one of my favorites as a child)
Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world
They have no choice
They have no voice
(Botkin/DeVorzon, notably sung by The Carpenters)
At last he came to the wild boar's den
Dylum down dylum
At last he came to the wild boar's den
Dylum down
At last he came to the wild boar's den
And there were the bones of a thousand men
Cubbie kye cuddle dum quilly quo qum
folk song, "Old Bangum", The version I grew up with was sung by Sam Hinton. A wild boar might not normally be a 'monster' but if it killed at thousand men I think it counts as one. That and it "eats mens' bones and drinks their blood."
Woe to you oh earth and sea
for the devil sends the beast with wrath.
Number of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
David Bowie
I know how to make a monster dance party
Then show me how to make a monster dance party
Backyardigans
I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
she's deadly man
she could really
rip your world apart
mind over matter
ooh the beauty is there
but a beast is in her heart...
---Hall & Oates, "Maneater"
There's no use complainin'
It's pointless to holler
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar
They made a little monkey out of old King Kong
I hope that something better comes along
"I hope that something better comes along", A muppets song about women. I think it is in The Muppet Movie.
One, two, Freddy's comin for you,
Three, Four, better lock your door,
Five, Six, grab your crucifix,
Seven, Eight, better stay awake,
Nine, Ten, never sleep again!
Nightmare on Elm Street lullaby
Her head hit the roof beam of the house
Her middle you could not span...
...Her teeth were like the tether stakes
Her nose like club or mell
And nothing less she seemed to be
Than the fiend that comes from hell
"King Henry," a ballad
(this from the version SteeleyeSpan recorded)
God is bigger than the boogie man.
He's bigger than Godzilla,
or the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man.
And He's watching out for you and me.
--Veggietales
Green is the color of my true love's exoskeleton
She only has a thousand eyes for me....she's coo-coo
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Jonathan Coulton
"Skullcrusher Mountain"
(Sometimes it's difficult not to post an entire song.)
King Kong, little elves,
on the rooftops they dance
"Farewell Angelina," Joan Baez sang it well, Bob Dylan wrote it.
I'm not a monster Tom
Well, technically I am
I guess I am
Re: Your Brains
Jonathan Coulton
We don't like what we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And this monster is mysterious, at least.
Kill the beast!
--From Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."
I guess it's 'cause I've got big feet.
Used to think it was kind of neat.
I try to fit in, but they don't want me
'Cause I'm the one with big feet.
--From "Acorn, the Nature Nut" TV show. I would call it "Sasquatch's Lament" by John Acorn. The episode was about "monsters" that are talked about but not proven to exist, such as the Loch Ness Monster, yetis, Big Foot/Sasquatch, and "Champ," the supposed aquatic monster in Lake Champlain.
