The Earls of Babylon - "My Little Frankenstein"


Some of my favorite things are forgotten vintage garage rock and Halloween themed music. The Earls of Babylon had a regional hit in Chicago in 1966 with "Hi Ho Silver Lining," and haven't released new music since 1967. After Jeff Beck made "Hi Ho Silver Lining" into a big UK hit, the band got discourage and broke up. Now, nearly sixty years later, they're back with "My Little Frankenstein." This new song sounds like the band only took five years off instead of five decades. It sounds like a long lost garage rock novelty song. It's raw, and groovy, and insanely fun. Plus, The Earls of Babylon add a liberal use of theremin, which is always welcome. "My Little Frankenstein" is just perfect for fans of vintage garage rock and novelty Halloween songs.
