Well, the boogie man
Gonna get you and
Snatch you up and whip you off to boogie land.
If you don't watch out
He'll make you scream and shout,
He the boogie man.
He gonna have them ants
Crawlin' in your pants
With them creatures in your seat you got to leap up to your feet you know you gotta dance
To the boogie man,
To the boogie man, babe,
He the boogie man.
The boogie man, he's got a little piece of land,
He got a mean ol' lady keeps him gentle as a lamb.
He got a dog named frog and vw van,
The neighbors all think he's an insurance man.
When the moon come out, the kids all shout
¡°hey bring him out, come on, bring him out!¡±
He picks up his guitar, there's a change inside
From the good dr. jekyll to the bad mr. hyde.
Come on and clap your hands
For the boogie man.
He the wicked master
Of the screamin' telecaster
And the one-night stand
He the boogie man.
He the boogie man, babe,
He the boogie man.
The boogie man's got a little piece of land,
He got a mean ol' lady keeps him gentle as a lamb.
Got a dog named frog and vw van
The neighbors all think he's an insurance man.
But when the moon come out, the kids all shout
¡°hey, bring him out, come on, bring him out!¡±
He picks up his guitar, there's a change inside
From the good dr. jekyll to the bad mr. hyde.
The song "The Boogie Man" by Kinky Friedman is a playful, upbeat tune about the titular character who is going to "get you and snatch you up and whip you off to boogie land". With its playful, almost childlike lyrics and memorable melody, the song is a tribute to the power of music and its ability to make people dance.
The song's lyrics describe the Boogie Man as a somewhat mysterious figure who has a little piece of land, a mean ol' lady who keeps him gentle as a lamb, a dog named Frog, and a VW van. When the moon comes out, the kids all shout and he picks up his guitar - this is when the transformation happens, from good Dr. Jekyll to bad Mr. Hyde. The Boogie Man then becomes the wicked master of the screaming telecaster and one-night stand, inspiring everyone to dance to the beat.
The song's light-hearted lyrics and catchy rhythm make it a fun addition to any playlist. It's a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and create a sense of joy and community. The Boogie Man may be a mysterious character, but he represents the spirit of music and dance that lives within us all.

A horror trailer that actually gives me goosebumps & having me wanting to see it. Well done.
It’s been years since a good horror trailer has been well made.🔥
EDIT: I’ve seen the movie. Enjoyed it. Some jump scares got me. Some predictable/ some not. The atmosphere was great. So was the sound effects.
It gave me Stranger Things/ Lights Out vibes. The way the movie started has given me chills. I give it a 8/10. Wasn’t the best/ worst but I pretty much enjoyed it. The creature design was pretty cool. (🚨SPOILER ALERT🚨)Also, the way the creature threw the girl at the tv was both jaw dropping & hilarious.
If your a fan of Creature Features. Definitely would recommend!💪🏽

I like how the person in the beginning sets up a very obviously creepy atmosphere with the blinking red light in the dark room, and says “see? It’s not scary”
@jackreacher2095
Brings her to camp Chrystal lake in the middle of the night . See ? It’s not scary 😮
@CallmeA_B
I'd love to see something attack her and the little girl repeat the same line.
It's not the dark that scares you. It's what's in it.
😱😌😄
