Artist: Wednesday 13
Song: The Ghost of Vincent Price
Year: 2005
Lyrics: I knew
that life wouldn't be the same after that fateful day
Dreams were crushed and who's
to blame for all my hurt and pain
Can someone tell me why, why
did all of my heroes die?
And now there's nothing left
but this black heart of mine just cheating death. Just cheating death
I know I'll always get my thrill
in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas
locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost,
With the ghost of Vincent Price
It's so strange how my life
suddenly went black and white
Like a movie on the screen
with Vincent Price co-starring me
It's such a late, late, late
show
And when it ends, nobody knows
I never question my sanity
when the Lord of the Dead is watching over me
Watching over me
I know I'll always get my
thrill in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas
locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost,
With the ghost of Vincent Price
I know I'll always get my
thrill in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas
locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer
things in life
I'm alright just hanging out
with the ghost,
With the ghost of Vincent Price

Single: Land of a Million Drums
Year: 2002
Lyrics: In the land
of a million drums
There is always something going
on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought
off
Might as well go on take your
dead home, home, home, home
In the land of a million drums
I catch a pattern that spit rings
around you like Saturn
Intergalactic tracks, I make 'em
like magstrulium
This one for Scooby, pass the
doobie I'mma do me one, do me one
Only you clean over
I pick up the mic and rock it
while I'm sober
For the rated G exposure if you
listen to what I'm tryin' to told ya
We fathers with seeds of our own
We're talkin about sons and
daughters boy, not roots and clones
Now that the theory gone wrong
An embryo with no soul
Stuck in this green mini-van with
my lungs in a chokehold
Shaggy, pass the boombastic
Daphne said, "Don't do
that"
Freaky Fred smashed the gas and
slammed us into traffic
Now Scrappy wanna box and throw
them bows
So I had to sic the pitbull on
him before he could pass one blow
Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo,
Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doobie-Doo)
(Chorus)
Woke up from a long night of
hanging out with Shaggy
Oh no, lost my last baggy of
Scooby snackies
Shaggy, wake up, we've been had
Our Scooby snacks, they got the
whole stash
He said, "Who who, I don't
have a clue"
I suspect the thirteen ghosts
of Scooby-Doo
Call Vincent Price up on the Nextel
Tell him to send another
package right through the mail
In the meantime, I'mma call
Thelma to tell her
To get the Mystery Machine ready
I'm two-wayin' Daphne and Freddy
Me and Shaggy dressed in all
black, strapped
Dippin' through the flash, tryin'
to get our stash back
Roundin' up suspects, collectin'
clues
I got a question, where the hell
is Scooby-Doo when you need 'em
The hound's only found when you
feed him
In fact he probably got my sack
Tell him holler back
(Chorus)
Break it down, break it down
baby, 'til the flow jumps off the ground
Oh break it down, lookin' over
yonder 'til the walls come tumblin' down
Oh, yes lord y'ain't gotta tell
me two times but you know I know
Oh, break it down, break it down
baby, 'cuz I want y'all all to know
We rock the world
(Chorus)
I coulda got away with it, if it
wasn't for ya meddlin' kids
(Oh no, oh no)

Song:
Dr Phibes Rises Again
Year: 2001
Lyrics: Years ago
they took from me
The only thing I ever loved
For I've returned, hear me say
There's nowhere to run
Vengeance is mine, snap of your
spine
Tracking, the wolf's at your
throat
Succulently, the beast so
silent feeding
Into Hell you go speeding
Your life's at stake
The abominable Dr. Phibes rises
again
By the moon crypt doors open
Every last bone was broken
Murder without a clue
For Dr. Phibes rises again
Oh, my wife again you'll live
The gift of life be mine to
give
First there's things that I
must do
Make them pay for killing you
My patients, my prey, all flesh
torn away
Nurse scalpel please, skinned
to the bone
Killed on the phone, what a
shame, no one home
Succulently, the beast so
silent feeding
Into Hell you go speeding
Your life's he takes
The abominable Dr. Phibes rises
again
By the moon crypt doors open
Killed before one word's spoken
Murder without a clue
For Dr. Phibes rises again
Ancient Egyptian river
Once upon life will give her
And there we'll ride, oh
Anton Phibes, oh rises again,
rises again
Down, down the river of life
No more pain, no more strife
And we can be together again,
yeah
Oh, to be, oh forever to be
Oh, oh, it is my dream
It is our destiny, oh oh oh
The beast so savage feeding
From his brow sweat is beading
Make no mistake
For Dr. Phibes rises again
All of the lives I've taken
For you my heart was breakin'
No one survives when
Dr. Phibes rises again
As we sit on the river
Breath of life make me shiver
Open your eyes my dear
Rise from the grave
Now that my task's completed
For I have death defeated
Gone without a trace
Anton Phibes, oh rises again,
rises again
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Rises again
Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Song:
Abominable Dr Phibes/American Psycho
Year: 1997
Lyrics: Inside a
wall street mind a psycho lurks
Lines of cocaine cut in hell
Obsessive hands gently grab
your neck
Look into sick eyes...
I hate people!
Struggling to breathe -Go!
The sweet asphyxiation and
dismemberment
Sex puts me in the mood to
make you die
Obsessive hands gently grab
your neck
Look into sick eyes...
I hate people!
Struggling to breathe -Go!
Go! A machine of penalty
Go! The sweet insanity
Go! Fade to black tranquility
You're lookin' through the
eyes of a psycho!
An American psycho!

Song: Vincent Price Blues
Year: 1996
Lyrics: There's
a rockin' time on the borderline
Between sundown and up
There's an off-the-wall
cantina, man
Just waitin' to tear you up
The locals know that in you go
And out con nalgas fried
Night descends, and the fun
begins
Way out the other side
But, I didn't say it
Oh, no
Vincent Price said it's
alright
Vincent Price said it's OK
There's a very cherry charmer
Oozin' groovin' grease
She come in with the graveyard
shift
A pleasin' teasin' squeeze
El jeffe [sic] holler mucho
mas
Get some sucker's ass inside
I think you'll know you gotta
go
To get some satisfy
But, I didn't say it
Oh, no
Vincent Price said it's
alright
Vincent Price said it's OK
I've dined at Spago and
Eclipse
And Whataburger too
I've had Mescal with lotsa
gals
Along 5th Avenue
I always shot the best they
got
Dinero no problema
Ain't no quarter
south-the-border
In this off the wall cantina
But, I didn't say it
Oh, no
Vincent Price said it's
alright
VIncent Price said it's ok
Vincent, Vincent Price said
it's alright
Vincent Price said it's OK

Song: Ships Don't Disappear in the Night (Do
They?)
Year: 1973
Lyrics: Ships
don't just disappear in the night
Do they?
People don't really die of
fright
Do they?
We all know it just ain't so
So don't be afraid when the
table shakes
Don't you
Don't be amazed when your
shadow quakes
Don't you
Start to pray they'll go away
And then they can't do nothing
to ya
They can't do nothing to ya
They just keep walking through
ya
Better be nice to Vincent Price
Forces at work that we don't
understand
Are they?
So don't get the shits if it
touches your hand
Don't you
Poltergeists can be so nice
Better be nice to Vincent Price
What's that noise comin' up
from the cellar?
What's it?
It's the restless bones of
boris and bela
Boris and Bela
Don't go down, they're still
around
But then they can't do nothing
to ya
They can't do nothing to ya
They just keep walking through
ya
And then they can't do nothin'
to ya
They can't do nothin' to ya
They just keep walkin' through
ya
Album: Poco Zucchero
Artist: Faust'o Rossi
Song: Vincent Price
Year: 1979
Lyrics: Se scricchiola una porta e un maniaco s'infila
nella trama di un film
se una bambina bionda si trasforma in un mostro
sorseggiando del gin
sei piu allegro che mai
che dolce piacere il terrore
Se il gatto delle nevi falcia venti persone
dietro ad uno skilift
se c'e uno squalo bianco che divora i bagnini
di Miami Beach
solo un dubbio c'e in te:
sapere lo squalo chi e.
E allora... e Vincent Price lo sai
E proprio Vincent Price lo sai
Si inventera fantasmi senza pieta
La lama di un coltello lucidata di fresco
sulla gola di lei
il sangue lo zampillo poi un grido funesto
so che il diavolo sei
e piu allegro che mai sottile piacere il terrore!
Nel parco passi lenti non lo vedi ma lo senti
l'assassino dov'e
La madre superiora che ha murato una suora
proprio dietro il bide
solo un dubbio c'e in te
sapere la suora chi e
Ma e Vincent Price lo sai
E proprio Vincent Price lo sai
Ti vendera fantasmi senza pieta
Ma quando alla mattina tu ti scopri allo specchio
la faccia che hai
e mentre fai la barba giunge un suono all'orecchio
sta russando anche lei
dubbi ormai non hai piu quegli occhi e quel mostro sei tu
Ma Vincent Price non e
Vincent Price non e
Il trucco non c'e puoi farti paura da te.
