Bizarre, me and my mates were discussing this very question in the pub a few weeks ago. We had some excellent guesses, but i had to go home and look it up in my little hit book of records!! Bobby Pickett and the crypt kickers. But guess others have told you that already?!

"(The) Monster Mash" is a 1962 novelty song and the best known song by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. Pickett was an aspiring actor who sang with a band called "Darren Bailes and the Wolf Eaters" at night while going to auditions during the day. One night, while performing with his band, Pickett did a monologue in imitation of horror movie actor Boris Karloff in the middle of a song (some sources have identified the song as a rendition of The Diamonds' "Little Darlin'"). The audience loved it and a member of the band encouraged Pickett to do more with the Karloff imitation.

Bobby Boris Pickett composed "Monster Mash" and recorded it with Gary Paxton, Leon Russell, Johnny McCrae and Rickie Page, credited as "The Cryptkickers". This song was partially inspired by Paxton's earlier novelty hit "Alley Oop", as well as by the Mashed Potato dance craze of the era.
