Not directly related but the German band Die Γrzte has what is in my opinion a much better song on a similar theme.

we couldn't handle the monster mash. it would literally destroy us, so only obliquely might we learn of it's ways
Tenacious D did the same thing in "Tribute".
And we played the first thing that came to our heads
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world
It was the best song in the world

The Nerd of Mouth podcast recently did a dive into the history of The Monster Mash. Apparently after it got successful Bobby Boris Pickett went on to release basically the same song several more times, like Monster's Holiday, Monster Swim, and Werewolf Watusi.
I always figured it was a song/dance innately known only to monsterkind, and as humans the most we're allowed is a song about it
The monster mash referenced in the song was a dance.

Just tell the door that Boris sent you
The 2020s has been seriously lacking on dance craze trends. We used to have a new dance every year but so far this decade has only given us Hot to Go.

And whatever happened to the Transylvania Twist??
replies:
The Monster Mash is a dance, not a song. And while many dances are done to specific pieces of music, that is not always the case.
replies:
It was just a monster orgy, and they were mashing it

was this in an episode of always sunny or am i hallucinating?
It was a graveyard smash, after all.
replies:
That's weird you don't know about the monster mash? I thought everyone was invited to at least one in their life and it is thus a known thing.
replies:
I detest the song about the Monster Mash. I wonder if I would actually like the Monster Mash.
Isn't it a song about a dance called "monster mash"
