"Monster Splash" would have rhymed with "Monster Mash." But what he is referring to here is a fad dance called "the swim" which was popular around the time this song was recorded.

In 1987 my soon to be wife and I went to a place called Spooky World in Berlin, Mass. I had a bad cold. As we waited outside in the freezing weather for a hay ride we passed by a stage area. The door swung open and the man himself, Bobby Boris Pickett, came out and sang Monster Mash! Suddenly I forgot all about my cold and the cold. What a treat not a trick! ALL true!

My elementary class were doing a stage show for Halloween. 6th or 7th grade and these girls dressed up as cats, black body suits and black tights with long tails. I got to see all the the rehearsals and the show. I never heard the song again until The Doctor Demento Show about 78 or 79. I didn't know he did anything else.

And so many of these 50’s-60’s singers would get one hit and then think they can just keep going back to the same well.

This wasn't the last Monster song. He also made "The Monster Rap" in the 80's.

I was 9 then and don't remember this one, but I enjoyed this one as much as " The Monster Mash" and watching the young audiences then. I wish I was there then.

I can remember hearing this on the radio back in 1964, probably on WINS, then the no. 1 top 40 station in NYC. It didn't get anywhere near the traction the Monster Mash did, in fact that was the only time I heard it. Until now.

Look at the crazed teens hypnotised by the jungle rhythms.

It's 2022 and We are just returning to see these great songs

Oh how I love that '60's music!! Giv😂 me that Good Ol' Rock n roll!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

As a kid I listened to the radio all the time in those days but never heard this one. Guess it didn't catch on while Monster Mash was revived every year.

It was going to be used for Summerween (Halloween in Summer). Underrated song

Those facial expressions crack me up.lol

What a cool update to his previous song.

First time hearing the monster swim this gentleman was very creative I have a new theme song for Halloween

Love you Bobby....we had such great times drinking and jamming together in Somerville, MA

Great great song Bobby Pickett

Personally, I enjoyed both this one and monster mash. This is much like a sequel to monster mash and I love how the lyrics just fit. I do wish this took off like monster mash.

It’s a little known fact that Bobby was actually recounting the horrors of a traumatic experience through these songs. RIP Bobby, May you finally find the peace you were looking for
