I loved this! Thank you! I was familiar with the poem (my father used to recite it) but didn't know there was a song done. It's just fabulous. Thank you!
Definitely a 78 rpm. I had a large collection of 78's and 45's which got destroyed in a garage fire in the 1970's. Oh my, how I wish I still had those boxes of irreplacable records!
In response to comments from two years ago... :-) This record is of the '78' format (78rpm) which was popular through the 1950s. The diameter of the records could vary too, with 10 and 12 inch being the most popular. Due to the material they were made of (shellac) the grooves had to be relatively far apart, which meant they were limited to about 3 or 4 minutes max. Its also why so many of the 'standards era' songs are so short. When the change was made in the 1950s to 33.3rpm /vinyl, then we ended up with denser grooves (microgrooves!) and time enough to hold entire albums (30 minutes a side). Plus eventually we even got stereo sound. Singles were set to 45rpm on smaller disks that could hold a max of about 8 minutes.

78s and 45s had one song on each side, 33s (long play) could have maybe 5 or 6 on each side at most. A few phonographs had an adapter for 16 RPM (extended long play) records that might have up to a dozen songs each side (but almost nobody pressed 16s, so there wasn't much to play even if you had the adapter).
I don't know how many people will see this comment, but this song sounds a whole hell of a lot like Voltaire's "Brains!" from the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
That's so weird... The needle starts on the outside of the record and ends on the inside after only one song.... I thought records held more than that?
+RIPUDAMAN KOCHHAR It's a 78 rpm record (among the oldest). The part that made the song extra creepy, for me at least, was the clicking of the phonograph at the end.
This is a 78 rpm record. The grooves were farther apart than those of the 33 rpm or 45 rpm records, so they could only fit one song on a side. After the introduction of the 45 rpm record (single) and the 33 rpm (album), they stopped making the 78s.
this brought wonderful memories thanks, love you so. much

LOL I just saw you post after I answered the same question above.
Thank you for uploading 🥰
love the peom it one of my favs up there with sonnet 116
Comes with a sinister and serious message but is also great to dance to!
I honestly don't get why people find it creepy. The song is rather upbeat. Back in the day, people listened to stuff like this just fine.
Well, it is based on a ghost story

It is a creepy poem and still a creepy song. If you know what it means ; it's still creepy. So good.
It was based on a ghost story in Nova Scotia.
i like it and for me its not creepy
It's a bit jazzy for a song about being haunted isn't it? But still...really creepy...

Never thought I'd cross paths with another Voltaire fan here! But his style of music overlaps the swing style and era heavily it seems like.
i just wish this doesnt happends to me when i climb the stairs :CCCCC
