When taverns advertise they have live music, do you ever wonder about the alternative?

Question

It would give new meaning to the phrase " The place was really dead tonight." Perhaps they would lay off employees and just hire a skeleton crew.

Answer 1

I can only picture the song list now......

"Dead Man's Party"

"Living Dead Girl" with special appearance by Rob Zombie

"Death of it All" (ok Rob Zombie is sticking around for a second set)

"Dead Girl Superstar" (Ok Rob Zombie just took over the stage)

"House of 1000 Corpses" (Ok this dead audience are all turning into Zombie fans!!!)

Well that sure did liven up this dead crowd! Well they are still dead... but nothing like living zombies to get the tavern rocking. Oh look!! Just in time for the "Thriller" encore!!

Answer 2

Why not hire "Bobby 'Boris' Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five", I hear they do the Graveyard shift. At least you wouldn't have to listen to dead air, and the employees wouldn't be dead on their feet.

THE MONSTER MASH

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

Answer 3

Good answers....I love the video of Monster Mash that SanMan played for Halloween. Too funny.
My oldest son used to like a band that would be suitable for this establishment: Dead Kennedys.
He actually got pulled over once by an officer who noticed his Dead Kennedys bumper sticker and thought he was evil. "Don't like the Kennedys, eh', son." ......... It wasn't my favorite car decor either but good grief!

Answer 4

Nothing wrong with the "Greatful Dead"

Answer 5

Grateful Dead........Enough said.
