The internet has realized that in Halloween hit jam “Monster Mash,” you never hear the Monster Mash — the song is just about the Monster Mash.
The shocker came to life after Twitter user @Lawrence_Miles tweeted:
Guys. I'm here to red-pill you all.

You've never heard the actual Monster Mash. You've just heard a record *about* the Monster Mash.
Yeah.
Bobby Pickett is a non-monster recalling an occasion when he heard monsters mashing. At best, his recording is only a rough approximation.

In the song, they’re really just talking about the dance. We never actually hear the Monster Mash.
Naturally, Twitter had reactions to @Lawrence_Miles’ finding and some weren’t exactly happy.
"Why would you unleash this on the world?" one person tweeted. "Aren’t things bad enough.”

Another valid point though:
The monster mash is the dance, not the song...
