I first head this song in 1980 while living in Indianapolis. The following year we moved to Houston and no one had heard of the song. It took the internet and over 20 years to find the song name and hear it again.

It's from Whitfield records and the Band had only 2 albums released in 1980. "Monster Fun" is from On The One. It a cool funk song with a rap section that features a bunch of nerd culture references. Anybody else remember this song?

Lyrics (I did my best to transcribe them from the youtube video)

Monster Fun by MammaTapee

(upbeat music)
Well we got so many people in the place
If you want to dance you got to find your own space
I'm glad to say, my friends
the monsters been all soaked in
Is there any hold up for the human race

Well, I think you ought to call your daddy
Tell him to come down here and see
I don't want him to believe that I'm trying to make a scene.
But your mama likes a boogie with me.
Don't you know that you can't run
We gonna have a Monster Fun!
Don't you know that you can't run
We gonna have a Monster Fun!
Don't you know that you can't run
We gonna have a Monster Fun!
Don't you know that you can't run
We gonna have a Monster Fun!

Monster fun
Sure 'nuff gonna get to you
Monster fun
Gonna make you dance, dance
Monster fun
Nobody gets away
Monster funs
Bites everyone
And

You feel it, you feel it
You can't get away
You feel it, you feel it
Monster fun is here to stay
You feel it, you feel it
You can't get away
You feel it, you feel it
Monster fun is here to stay

We call out to you Obi-Wan
We know that you're so wise
Please won't you use your ESP
And come into our minds
We call out to you Obi-Wan
Please won't you help us out
We need you to reveal what Monster Fun is all about

Here I am, y'all,
Fresh from space and on the case
I'm Obi-Wan and I'm having fun
And I don't need no laser gun
When I need somebody to rescue me
I call on good old Mammatapee
I'm 5 feet 11 with a handsome face
And I can play the hell out of electric bass
Now I know my style is out of sight
Cause I make my moves like Dolemite
But I'm here to take you one on one
And tell a little bit about monster fun
Now everybody get off your butt
And go turn your radio up
What I'm gonna say you just can't miss
So everybody get to this
Okay?...Okay!

Now, monster fun lies somewhere in between
The dark side of the force and a laser beam
And it's got a power all its own
And when it grabs you, you can't do no wrong
Now it's got more cool than the boogie man
It even made old Darth Vader dance
Now, we gave a party on July 4th
And Dracula came through the door
Now me and my lady got scared till he said
Look into my eyes and don't be afraid
I know you think I've come for blood
But I'm only here to cut the rug
And if this party is really fine,
Then I'll call my good friend Frankenstein
Everybody say Frankenstein...Frankenstein!

By Now, you think that monster fun is not for me and you
But I'm here to tell you, uh uh uh
Cause good guys be there, too.
(Good guys be there too?)
Yeah, Good guys be there too.

Cause Mr. Spock said Captain Kirk was having such a good time
He wanted to give the after party on the starship Enterprise
Luke Skywalker got in late, said he couldn't find the place
Han Solo said the music wasn't loud enough to put him into hyperspace
And even Chewbacca was in the corner and he was rapping pretty hard
To a fine foxy sweet good looking lady Imperial Guard
And Lando, known as Billy Dee, had danced with Princess Leia.
Her hair looks so bad
I think the aliens Had her scared
Everybody say Yeah
(Oh!)
Run that magic comb through your hair
Say yeah
(Oh!)
Girl! Go get yourself a Jheri curl
Are you scared?
(Yah, yah)
Well don't be
Cause we're in orbit around the sun
And when you get home you tell your mama
You got bit by Monster Fun
We took all the chairs out
So it ain't gonna be no sitting down
Cause Monster Fun is here
When Mammatapee comes to town

I'm Obi wan with monster fun
And I likes to see you smile
And I'm gonna let Monster Keyboard man get down for a while
Do it now!

(Music)
