Who could forget the Singing Solider bit where Billy gets a pie in the face?

Another lovely day begins
Ghosts and ghouls with greenish skin.
So close your eyes and you will find
that you've arrived in Frightenstien.

Perhaps the count will find a way
to make his monster work today.
If he solves this monstermania
he can return to Transylvania.
so welcome where the sun won't shine
to the castle of Count Frightenstien.
