Strange music for strange people.
Dollar Bill and The Unmentionables has been recording slightly silly music since 1989. In 2010 we started making videos to stare at while the song plays. Genre: varies, sometimes within the same song even. Be sure to check out the video page, as many of the songs have super high-budget (i.e. $0) music videos

Story behind the song
Bill sang and made funny noises, and he played guitar, bass, theremin, hulusi, toy piano, penny whistle, cuica, clave, castinets on a stick, spin whistle, noisy frog, frog rasp, fish guiro, wooden ratchet, scraper, tambourine, vibra-slap, and did computery keyboard stuff to fake the rest.
Lyrics
A new terror has risen A ne'er before seen beast And on this hallowed eve' It is coming for the feast You just might catch half a glimpse that is, if you survive But all instinctively know it's name when they hear it's ghoulish cry The Hekwzzat? Now you might think it gory, but it's coming after you all the same Yes it is! You say you never never heard the story? Well, but you already know its name Hekwzzat! The Hekwuzzat?!? So this Halloween if you find yourself in a dark alleyway or hear something that goes bump in the night, Don't be surprised at all if you hear yourself say: The Hekwzzat?!? You'll never see it coming, by then it's already too late Say your prayers If you step out tonight, you done already sealed your fate! HAAAAA! Hekwzzat! The heck was that?

what a great track! one of my favorites of yours and so fun to hear again... though I have this downloaded from long ago and play it every so often. So well conceived, played, sung, arranged... well, it is nigh onto perfect! The throat clearing always makes me laugh hysterically.
