Sixty five years after his first Billboard Top Ten hit "Tallahassee Lassie," Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon is back with a Halloween rocker called "Hey Svengoolie."The song he wrote and sang is a modern day "Monster Mash" dedicated to the horror movie host on ME-TV Saturday nights. Svengoolie is played by radio-TV veteran Rich Koz.Cannon, a huge fan of horror films, became a fan of Svengoolie almost 20 years ago, Back in 2016 he wrote his first song for the TV host, "the Svengoolie Stomp. The ME-TV crew flew Cannon to Chicago, where the show is produced, and filmed a video for the tune. Now, eight years later, in preparation for the horror host debuting "Hey Svengoolie" later this month on ME-TV, Koz's crew flew to Los Angeles this fall, where Cannon lives, to make a video of the newest musical creation. Cannon, who holds the record for the most appearances of any artist on Dick Clark's American Bandstand (110 times), gave us hits, including: -Way Down Yonder in New Orleans-Transistor Sister-Palisades Park (written by game show host Chuck Barris)-Action (TV Theme from "Where the Action Is")-Abigail Beecher Freddy's new release can be heard on You Tube: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0b9O9DMH5E
