The Blob
5 Blobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
The 5 Blobs' song 'The Blob' is a horror-themed tune that warns listeners to be wary of a creature called The Blob, which moves in an unusual manner. The Blob is described as creeping, leaping, gliding, and sliding across the floor, right through the door, and all around the wall. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the eerie background music create a sense of foreboding and unease. The lyrics use vivid imagery to paint a picture of a creature that is both menacing and elusive, and it's clear that the singer is warning the listener of the danger that The Blob presents.
The Blob was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the titular 1958 horror film, which featured an amoeba-like creature that devoured everything in its path. The song became a hit in its own right, reaching number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958. The song is notable for its use of a vibraslap percussion instrument, which creates a distinctive sound that adds to the creepy vibe of the song. The Blob has been covered by various artists over the years, and its popularity has endured among horror movie fans.
Line by Line Meaning
Beware of The Blob, it creeps
Be cautious of The Blob as it silently and slowly moves along
And leaps and glides and slides
It jumps and effortlessly moves with fluidity
Across the floor
The Blob moves on the flat surface in a seemingly unobstructed manner
Right through the door
Even an entry barrier can’t stop The Blob from moving forward
And all around the wall
It moves and spreads all over the wall
A splotch, a blotch
It leaves a messy and shapeless mark as it progresses
Be careful of The Blob
Stay aware and cautious of its movement and spreading

Who knew that a 50s horror movie would inspire such a jam.
@chuckf6163
Can't get enough of that late 50s Sax !!
@Accam570
For a novelty song it's very well written with a great melody . The singing is perfect, too. I love it.
@amrak63
Thanks to Dr. Demento for introducing me to this song roughly 44 years ago.

R.I.P., Burt Bacharach (1928-2023.) This was one of Burt's first co-composed songs with Mack David to make the top 100. Burt would eventually compose most of his hit songs with Mack's brother Hal David.

@kingofpointless
It took a real musical genius to make a potentially annoying novelty song such a genuinely enjoyable bop instead. Thanks for this one as well Burt!
