▶ ABOUT THE VIDEO
This time I used samples from two different songs: "Grim Grinning Ghosts (The Screaming Song)" and "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" (1936).
"Grim Grinning Ghosts (The Screaming Song)" is the theme song for The Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney theme parks. It was composed by Buddy Baker, with lyrics written by X Atencio. Its melody has been adapted for numerous uses since its composition in the late 1960s.
"Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" is a 1936 song, with music and lyrics by Louis Prima, who first recorded it with the New Orleans Gang. Brunswick Records released it on February 28, 1936 on the 78 rpm record format, with "It's Been So Long" as the B-side. The song is strongly identified with the big band and swing eras. Several have performed the piece as an instrumental, including Fletcher Henderson and, most famously, Benny Goodman.
Also, in order to set the right atmosphere for the remix, we created this video by editing clips from an old (but amazing) animation movie: “Minnie The Moocher” with Betty Boop (1932).
Enjoy :) 🎵

A couple of fun facts about this one. First, the lead vocal on "Grim Grinning Ghosts" is Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger and the singer of "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" in the original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" animated special. Consider remixing that one please, Dave. Second, the walrus's dance moves in "Minnie the Moocher" were based on swing great Cab Calloway.

[@hermionestranger4964]

Cool, I didn't know that! That's why the voice sounds so familiar :D

[@krystallinekris]

You're a Mean One would be fun. There is a jazzy remix of it on.. uh, I forget her name, but she's the Violin Prodigy. Her channel.

[@payton_bagel8317]

I'ma be honest, nothing in this video scares me... except that fuckin walrus. I don't know why it's so unsettling...

[@onebigoof4918]

@@payton_bagel8317 probably because of how it was rotoscoped over Cab Calloway's dancing, making the animation uncannily smooth

[@batking4342]

I can't think of tony the tiger and "you're a mean one mr. Grinch" without thinking of the fanfiction that made the rounds on tumblr about tony the tiger and the grinch

I'll never understand how this isn't as popular as Spooky Scary Skeletons, it's just as fun to listen to.

It's Living Tombstones electro swing ver on spooky scary skeletons that makes it so famous

[@nagarajansubramani]

Raveyard.. I see what you did there 😉

[@nerothewizard]

I like the incorporation of a little Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" in there. The horn riff goes well with the dancing feel of the tune.

[@eliseok1523]

The animation is sick

[@nircentv3104]

they were made by a channel called candywise i believe

Love the use of old cartoon footage! Didn’t even occur to me how well the “Minnie the Moocher” animation fit the song and the remix was on point! Nothing less from our king of electro swing!

[@kshandra5150]

Unless I'm mistaken, there's footage from the Betty Boop "Snow White" in here as well (specifically the St James Infirmary Blues segment).

[@Dave-Wave]

Remember: the Ghosts expect at least 20K of your likes in the first 24 hours or...they will haunt your house forever! :D Happy Halloween! :)

Its spooky Its electro swing Its got ghosts and skeletons It's perfect! Thank you 🖤

[@johannamason6497]

Hey Dave, I think this song was full of references and homages to "Sing Sing Sing", am I right? I'm sorry if it has been said before!

[@Dave-Wave]

You're right! I used samples of "Sing Sing Sing" in this remix! Thank you very much for watching :)

[@johannamason6497]

thank you for your work, it's wonderful!

@@Dave-Wave and since it was used in the Tower of Terror movie, it makes a really nice connection between HM and ToT. Good Job!

I really shouldn’t watch spooky things boo-fore bed, specterally during the spookiest month of the year, but I just can’t help it. Here’s to hoping these grim grinning ghosts haunt my dreams and give me a better social life than I’ve had in months : )

Had one of those jar candles burning in my room, turned off my lamp and just watched the flickering glow on the ceiling as it eerily matched the beat of this song. Good, spooky vibes right there.

[@ev-olution72]

That build up bass was 😑👌 amazing

[@Perennial_Curiosity]

This has a very specific animation style I've only seen a couple times before, what is it called?

[@Unfortunatelebanese]

hose animation?

[@makenziewaters2578]

If its the cartoon animation style the name of it is rubber hose animation

[@Slayer_Jesse]

Yeah "rubber hose". It was primarily used in the 1920-1930's, and Cuphead is a revival of it.

[@Theeffingmaster]

Or are you talking about the kinetic typography?

[@JohnDoe-rt2um]

Rubber hose animation. Used on spenel in steven universe

[@jacksont9455]

When I have kids, I’m going to play them this, and Spooky Scary Skeletons, and tell them that electro swing is “Halloween music”

your editing/kinetic typography/animation is an absolute joy to watch.
