The Blob

This was written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David for the 1958 horror movie The Blob, which was the first big role for Steve McQueen. The movie was about a blog of goo that lands on earth and starts consuming people, growing larger and larger as it threatens the town. The Blob was a legitimate horror movie, at least by 1950s standards, but the song is a bouncy number that seemed to poke fun at the movie, almost anticipating the cult status it would attain many years later.

This became Burt Bacharach's first significant hit as a composer. He went on to write many famous songs, including "I Say a Little Prayer" and "What The World Needs Now Is Love."

The Five Blobs were all Bernie Nee. His vocals were overdubbed five times.
