Beware! The Blob
I was listening to the latest edition of 'The Quiet Village' podcast - a must for tikiphiles - when I heard a catchy little ditty. It was the theme from the original 1958 movie, 'The Blob'.
(You may want to skip to about the 1 minute mark as there's quite a long intro)
Beware of the blob...
it creeps and leaps and glides
and slides across the floor,
right through the door
and all around the wall
- a blotch, a splotch
be careful of the blob.
What a fun little tune for something so terrifyingly fearsome. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen this classic movie and have now made arrangements to do so this Halloween.
Here is a trailer for 'The Blob' (starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people) - they play this trailer at the drive-in in Grease. Included is it's 1972 sequel, 'Son of Blob' (which looks absolutely hilarious).
