Remember those schlocky songs from the 50s and 60s like “Purple People Eater” and “Monster Mash”? Thankfully, we have White Zombie to thank for keeping the tradition alive. Based on a KC and the Sunshine Band track, “Boogieman” probably wasn’t supposed to be a campy Halloween track. On the other hand, we’re talking about White Zombie, the coolest goth death metal band for high school alternative kids with a sense of humour. For bonus points, track down the video to the song. No particular reason—it’s just that stuff like this will ensure White Zombie gains a place in the history books, right next to Twisted Sister.
