The Blobs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Overall Meaning

The repeated warning “Beware of The Blob” suggests that the Blob is a dangerous entity that should be avoided at all costs. The lyrics use onomatopoeia (e.g., “splotch,” “blotch”) to describe the Blob’s movements and create a sense of unease and apprehension.


The song’s playful tone and catchy beat make it a fun, campy addition to the horror genre. The Blobs’ “Blob” was released in 1958 as the theme song to the B-movie “The Blob,” starring a young Steve McQueen. The song became a hit and has since been featured in numerous movies and TV shows, cementing its place in pop culture history.

That song is going on my Halloween Playlist.

@galadriusthemighty

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.

@ItsKaleidoscope

This should be more popular! Even though I wasn't alive when it came out I think it's my favorite song rn lol ❤

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!

My two brothers and I saw this movie in January 1959.
