It's the title song to the 1958 film, The Blob. The film was made as a serious entry into the horror and sci-fi genres. It was received as such, but over time it has been categorized as a B-movie. Somehow when The Five Blobs made the song they knew the destiny of the film's legacy and gave it a campy romp of a title track. The song comes off like a quirky Latin tango with a short list of lyrics. The singer is actually one guy, Bernie Nee, overdubbing himself to sound like five guys and the songwriters are Burt Bacharach and Mack David. The Bacharach touch is obvious once you know it's him. The song The Blob spent three weeks in the 1958 Top 40, giving Bacharach one of his earliest hits.

The Blob lyrics
Beware of The Blob
It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides
Across the floor, right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob
It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides
Across the floor, right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob
It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides
Across the floor, right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob
It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides
Across the floor, right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob
Beware of The Blob
