1 - Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Picket & the crypt-Kickers tops our list; a classic! it shot to #1 in 1964, and gets pulled out every once in awhile for a new listen.
2 - Monster is Loose by Meat Loaf
3 - The Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley, it has one eye and one horn (and it can fly!), so the song says. Believe it or not, this was a top-10 hit in the 60s.
4 - Under the Bed by Alice cooper, bonus track from the LP Welcome to My Nightmare. An excellent tune, by any standards, and perfect for the Monster list.
