A To Z: Young Frankenstein "A Transylvanian Lullaby"


For my first A to Z Challenge ever, I'm highlighting a favorite track from various science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and TV shows. Feel free to press play and listen while you visit other A to Z participants.

Ready for a golden oldie? There are lots of pretenders today, but none of them have come close to topping the parody genius of Mel Brooks. My favorite? Young Frankenstein! John Morris did a great job carrying this film, to which this lullaby-like track is from. If you're in the mood for a good laugh, then go for a "rolls in the hay" and rent this sucker.


Tomorrow is the A to Z Finale! Thank you for stopping by!

I'm David, and I suppose I am a little "Abby Normal ..."

  1. totally a classic! Madeline Kahn is so brilliant in this. What a loss - she died too young.

  2. This movie is hilarious. I remember on AMC they said Mel Brooks directed this pretty much for the money because he was broke.

  8. A great choice, with a great cast: Gene Wilder, and Madeleine Kahn. Love those two. Mel Brooks did make a few winners.

  16. I did not enjoy reading Frankenstein for English class at all, so maybe I'll have to rent Young Frankenstein to make it all worth it. ;)

  18. One of my favorite movies. Just the thought of the "Putting on the Ritz" scene makes me laugh.

  19. My friends and I went to see this every Friday when it was playing in the theater. We were hooked and quoted every corny line.

  20. I keep hearing so much about this movie, but I keep forgetting to read it. It has been on my to watch list for ages.

  21. I know many who enjoyed this movie, and who are shocked I've never seen it, but alas it's true — I have not.

    Perhaps someday.

    There are many classics and "classics" I'm behind on watching for the first time, even if just for the sake of having done so, regardless of thinking I will like it or not. Never know until you try, right?
