Dracula’s Deuce – Hear Him Tack It Up In the Cemetary

DracsDragRace

Welcome to Dragsylvania! Drac’s ‘32 hearse is ported, relieved, strokin’ four, she’ll do 140 in the top end floor, and if it had a pair wings, man, I know she could fly. So Dracula’s got that going for him.

Oh, the horror of these lyrics stay with you long after you hit stop (which will probably be around the 13 second mark.) From 1965, I give you:

Special bonus song! (Amazing how many tunes there are about Dracula drag racing.)

A much better tune for this illustration is “Dragula Au Go Go” from a great surf band, the Moon-Rays. I wish I could embed it, but head over to their MySpace page and it’s in their playlist. That platter’s got bite!
