about

Every Diva is given to flights of fancy. A longtime monster movie fan, Arigon envisions a world where Monsters have grown in such numbers they decide to unionize! The song features a virtual roll call of some of her favorite movie monsters, plus a few who have yet to see their story come to life on the big screen. "When are they going to make a picture about the Chupacabra?" asked the Diva. Yah, but what about the reference to elves? Surely she doesn't consider them to be "monsters." "Well, if you'd seen Terror of Tiny Town, Freaks or Darby O'Gill and the Little People, you might think differently," she said.

For those of you wondering who "Barbara" is -- she is the doltish blonde of "Night of the Living Dead." As you may remember, she is taunted in the beginning of the film by her brother, Johnny as they visit their parents grave. They see several zombie like figures coming over the hill and he says..."They're coming to get you, Bar-bah-rah!" And yes, they are. Johnny is subdued by the creatures and unwillingly joins their legion.

As for the Bat Boy -- readers of the Weekly World News have made him a celebrity. He's part bat, part boy and is imprisoned in a secret location for his own safety. Yeh, right. When is Amnesty International gonna get involved here?

lyrics

My glowing eyes in the dark
Have set you as their mark
Oh, don't try to escape
Listen now -- Let me show you how
You may seen an evil creature
But I'm a freedom seeker

CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!

Now Bigfoot has a plan
Let's get even with Man
Yes, every monster agrees
Dracula, yah, Chupacabra
Mummies, werewolves and those elves
Should feel free to be themselves

CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!

Oh, even the Bat Boy needs a friend
It's time for the fairy tales to end

CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!
