Toon Rock: Monster's Holiday (1974-2021)

 Buck Owens peaked at #6 on the country chart in 1974 with the campy, bouncy "Monster's Holiday", the title track from his album.

Nearly 50 years later, a flash animated music video was produced, synching Owens' vocals with a guitar playing, pompadour wearing Monster of Frankenstein. Like, dig it!


I remember Buck playing this song on Hee Haw around this time, and it's stuck with me ever since. The follow up single was "On The Cover of The Music City News" (bold italics mine), which fared a little better.
