The Blob
Five 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
The song "The Blob" by Five Blobs describes a creature that is creeping, leaping, gliding and sliding across the floor, through the door, and all around the wall. The lyrics warn the listeners to be careful of the blob, which is seen as a mysterious, dangerous and uncontrollable entity. The song creates a sense of fear and uncertainty, as the blob seems to be everywhere at once and its movements are unpredictable. The use of splotch and blotch to describe the blob creates a vivid image of a shapeless mass that can change its form at will. The song suggests that the blob is a threat to human safety and warns the listeners to watch out for it.
Line by Line Meaning
Beware of The Blob, it creeps
Be cautious of The Blob as it moves slowly and stealthily
And leaps and glides and slides
The Blob can also jump, glide and slide to move around
Across the floor
It can move across the ground with ease
Right through the door
It has the ability to pass through closed doors
And all around the wall
The Blob can spread around surfaces and walls
A splotch, a blotch
It leaves a visible mark on any surface it touches
Be careful of The Blob
Caution is advised when dealing with The Blob

Who knew that a 50s horror movie would inspire such a jam.

For a novelty song it's very well written with a great melody . The singing is perfect, too. I love it.

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!
