Story Behind The Song
Inspired by the children's book "The Tale of the Circus Monkey and the Halloween Horseman"! Ichabod the monkey gets a pumpkin stuck on his head, uses his smarts, and makes it a hit part of his act!
Song Description
The best Halloween times give kids and adults a sugary thrill, not nervous worrying about whether something's going to be too scary or too boring! The Mighty Monkey Mischief Makers drive home a dance jam with a hook sticky as taffy and super-easy for a little fiend to digest, while lovely and/or devilish parents and chaperones should find something to smile about in the tune's pumpkin-bucketful of funk drums, punky bass, and graveyard organ.

Lyrics
There's a monkey who swings in the spotlight in the circus every night
One Halloween he got a pumpkin stuck on his head
Now he's got to think of something to get it back off
'Cause it's almost showtime!
Do a little dance
With a pumpkin on your head
Like Ichabod...
