Whereas his 1996 EP was similar to his debut, "Push the Button" was extremely eclectic, combining aspects of Rock music and Pop with Soul, Funk and Hip-Hop. This inventive LP was met with good reviews, as was his 2001 follow up "Change is Coming" which had a tropical yet danceable disco and funk sound.
Spooky
Money Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky!
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky
Spooky
Spooky
Oh-whoa, all right
I said Spooky!
The song "Spooky" by Money Mark talks about the singer's confusion and fascination with a woman who he considers a "spooky little girl". The lyrics describe the singer's attempts at making plans with the woman, who initially declines because she has something else to do but then changes her mind. The woman's behavior keeps the singer guessing as she winks at other men, leaving him confused about where he stands in their relationship. Despite this confusion, the singer is enamored with the woman and proposes to her on Halloween, likening her to a ghost that haunts his dreams.
The song explores the theme of ambiguity, with the singer never quite knowing where he stands with the woman, reflecting the complexities of relationships. The lyrics also use Halloween and the idea of ghosts to add to the spooky and mysterious quality of the song, further emphasizing the woman's enigmatic nature.
Interestingly, "Spooky" was originally written and recorded by Mike Sharpe in 1967 and later covered by a number of artists including the Classics IV, who had the biggest hit with the song. Money Mark's version was featured on the soundtrack for the film "Empire Records" in 1995. The song has been used in a number of films and TV shows and has been covered by various artists over the years.

"We did have a heart attack about seven years ago. That was good stuff." WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
@iambane2228
+Fantom FoxGM Hes acting, in his character. They obviously cared about the victim who had the heart attack and like all the other participants, nursed this person back to health.
@fire2fireable
+IAM BANE lmao no he doesn't he is obviously a sociopath who gets off to the torture of others and hell he makes money off of it. Who wouldn't enjoy that position
@iambane2228
***** You are wrong. The fee into getting into Mckamey Manor is a few cans of dog food. Saying he is a sociopath is completely stupid as shown in this video, he has a wife and three kids. Judging people just because they do this as a job is all stupid. You can't say facts, because all your doing is assuming. Russ hasn't said anything about being a sociopath and getting off to torture videos. Please do me a huge favor and fuck off with you dumbass.
@iambane2228
***** Nope not a keyboard police, but unlike most people on Mckamey manors comment section, i actually know what i'm talking about. A lot of people just watch the shit he posts and read very poorly written stories about the place and believe it.
@ExtremeComments9
+IAM BANE genuine question but how do you know actually know what you're talking about? and have you ever done the tour yourself? just wondering
@AyeAsiaL
This isn’t a haunted house, this is feeding this man’s kink.
@jamesbyerly766
100%
@winstonsmith2079
Agree, but I think his volunteer customers are also feeding their own kink. It's weird.
