THUNDERCLAP! / "The Littlest Monster"

 

The Skinny Review:
What's Halloween week without a spooky Halloween song? Niagara, ON artist THUNDERCLAP! has just re-released his fan-favourite single, "The Littlest Monster". This song is haunting and theatrical, with a catchy and kooky style that makes it worthy of a spot beside the seasonal classics.

In Their Own Words:
“I wrote the nuts & bolts of this song on Halloween 6 years ago in the deep woods of Quebec with the celebrated writer Leigh Kotsilidis. On the fly I took some friends out to guerrilla film a night of trick or treating, knowing that I was going to release it the following year, sooo it was only 3 weeks before release that I finished the song, recorded a demo, edited the video, got my animator collaborator to do his part, recorded the final version (with Matt Keighan) and abracadabra!

But my most strategic tool for this particular project: a hard deadline, baby…

I toiled for the perfect lyrics although they came relatively fast. I wanted the song to give kids the type of willies that MJ’s Thriller gave me when I was a lad, as well as the fun of the Monster Mash, & I feel I achieved that. It all turned out to have a vaudevillian feel which I didn’t plan for but certainly gives it its own finger print.”
