The Ghost in the Drum Machine

Going to a Deadman’s Party?

Square Hammer!!!

It’s playing an unchained melody.

Maybe that’s John Bonham or Neil Peart!

Now I’m hungry for Korean food. In particular, Bibimbap.

Why couldn’t it just rattle chains like a self-respecting ghost?

Can it do “In The Air Tonight”?

Hmm…he’s named Beetle-something…Beetle-meyer? Beetle-orange? Beetle-deedle? One of those…

Only polite requests are accepted.

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum

Someone said my house was haunted. But I’ve lived here for 400 years and haven’t seen anything.

Ah, the things that go “Bump” in the night have evolved!

I think we’ve taken “things that go bump in the night” a little too far.

Request? How about, “Knock that off”?

How about In-a-gadda-da-vida

The Sound of Silence would be nice, I’m tryin’ to sleep!

“Wipeout”

Buddy Rich coming to visit …

Anyone remember the old “Topper” TV series (a comedy about a bank executive harassed by three ghosts)?

Anne Jeffreys, the attractive actress who played one of the ghosts, was introduced during the opening credits as “the ghostess with the mostess”.

Keith Moon! What are you doing here?

A rim shot for the last frame.

Not a Buddy Rich medley,

Wipeout!

“Sounds of Silence” comes to mind.
