Dracula signs to Columbia, sucks
It's true, he moved to California and got a haircut, he's got the Mummy on guitar. But give him a couple verses and he'll be fellating radio programmers, cruising around in a hummer, and replacing the Mummy with a b-movie ghoul. Apples in Stereo dude Robert Schneider, under his Marbles alias, wrote it all down and posted the following tune for kids to play at Halloween parties. It might be our favorite holiday novelty since Fontains of Wayne's "I Want an Alien for Christmas." You Ain't No Picasso has this and two more great new-ish Dracula songs.
