The Monsters Go Disco

Here's one of those cardboard records they gave away in (and sometimes on) cereal boxes back in the 70s. This one features the sugar-frosted monster trio in one of the most predictable, derivative and utterly unnecessary stories I've ever heard. I can't decide what I like worst about this record. Is it the recycled voice impressions? The unfunny jokes? The incredibly bad "Monster Mania" disco tune?

The only thing I enjoyed about this record is the voice of Donna Disco at the end. She's only got one line, but she says it with the intonation of a drugged-up party girl who's spent too many nights at Studio 54. It's part of this complete breakfast, kids!

YES! I had this when I was a kid. It is the same idea as the cd's nowadays in cereal boxes but these things were records made of real thin plastic so four or five min.s was the max play time. I had three or four diffrent kinds of these things... (02-11-2003)

Tacky and a trip down memory lane. Amazing that they managed to keep the audio quality so high.

Thanks for putting it up. (02-11-2003)

It's bad! I'm blind just from listening to it!

Now I wonder if my brother's cereal box record of "Going Back to Indiana" by The Jackson 5 is next to be immortalized. (02-11-2003)

Dan says:
Think about this, a whole group of people were actually involved to make this... (02-11-2003)

Why don't you use the MP3 or windows media file formats. Real's Spyware is not welcome on my system. (02-11-2003)

Look for more of these "adventures" we're urged at the end. There were MORE? Can they be killed by driving a 45 spindle through their center? (02-11-2003)

Is it possible for my ears to vomit? If not, I have quite a problem on my hands right now.

Other than that,

Best. Record. EVER! (02-11-2003)
