(👯‍♀️Wa hoo, monster mash)

The King Kitty virus is spreading! 😆 I love it!! 😍 🥰

Frightening how true to life those photos of our band look.

Reviewing this 60-year-old classic in 2022 makes me notice that it has a strong male bias. Today, certain social groups demand to be visible.
That in mind, and willing to modernize the song, I let out the poet within to create the rhymes below.
They're meant to be added to the original text, just above the line "Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band"
Hope You like it!

(👯‍♀️It's now the mash) 🎶It's now the monster mash
(👯‍♀️The monster mash) 🎶And it's a graveyard smash
(👯‍♀️It's now the mash) 🎶It's absorbed in a flash
(👯‍♀️It's now the mash) 🎶It's now the monster mash

(👯‍♀️And left a mess) 🎶It's now the monster mess
(👯‍♀️The monster mess) 🎶And it's a grave excess
(👯‍♀️It's now the mess) 🎶And they need to redress
(👯‍♀️It's now the mess) 🎶It is a monstrous mess
