The Miami Sound Machine And Halloween - Together At Long Last!
If there's one thing Halloween here in the U.S. could use more of, it's gotta be some Latin flavor, am I right? You bet your red, white and blue little jack-o-lanterns I am. Today, I discovered that the Latin invasion of Halloween 2010 has begun and I am here to welcome it with open arms and mojitos.
Over the years, I've seen my fair share of dancing animatronic skeletons, so seeing another one standing in a coffin was no big deal. Still, the little kid in me can never resist pushing the demo button, even though it probably drives the store employees batshit insane since they have to deal with customers like me who push every musical demo button in sight. If you're one of those employees, on behalf of all the children (and adults who think they're children) in the world: I'm sorry. We can't help ourselves.
You gotta understand though, this skeleton was different. This one had, dare I say it... it had SASS! It's true! Just look at it! I'm not attracted to skeletons in any way, but you can't deny that this skeleton is gesturing a bit too much, what with its hands on its hips and tilting its head ever so slightly. It's as if it's saying, "Hay baybaaaay, you like whatchoo see? I got whatchoo need!"
But nothing... NOTHING could prepare me for what was to come from pushing that little demo button:
That just happened folks. You can't unsee that. You just saw an animatronic skeleton do the conga. I repeat:
YOU JUST SAW AN ANIMATRONIC SKELETON DO THE CONGA.
Happy Halloween? Damn skippy.

What store were you in when you found this?
I need one of those...
Ozzie on 09/16/2010 8:14 am
I wonder how many times a store employee is required to hear that song in one shift before killing anyone pushing the button gets ruled as justifiable homicide.
I'm betting it's not much higher than a dozen.
goblyn on 09/16/2010 11:11 am
I need one too! I think it would go very well with my magnificent maggot.
saturnknight on 09/16/2010 11:36 am
I think I want one of those. freaking cool
Kristy (Guest) on 09/16/2010 1:53 pm
It's the "Totally Ghoul" brand which means it's sold at Kmart.
A Bad Enough Dude on 09/16/2010 2:22 pm
I don't see what the conga has to do with Halloween. Wait... no... that WAS pretty spooky, now that I think about it.
-RoG- on 09/16/2010 2:29 pm
Kristy - Yep, it came from Kmart indeed. This is the only time of the year I go there, because they actually do a surprisingly great job at bringing in cool Halloween merch.

How dreadfully obnoxious that is after the 5th time watching it.
Jigby Huggletinks on 09/16/2010 10:41 pm
Rog always finds the best stuff this time of year...
thespookywaffle (Guest) on 09/16/2010 11:43 pm
You can also find these skeletons at Walgreens if you are closer to one of those, at least I have seen them in the ones I've been in.
My husband is one of those people who try to set off ALL the animatronic stuff at once. Who hasn't done that?

CANDELA SEÑORES!!!!
Copper on 09/17/2010 1:10 am
About the only way that would be cooler is if it did "Hips don't lie" by Shakira...

You have to risk heading too far to discover just how far a person can really go

At last homosexual skeletons represented in the greatest holiday of all.
On another note, Rog. I happen to work in the retail industry, you 'try me' button pressers are the reason I am currently wanted for several brutal slayings in my local area. Curse you and your inquisitive digits.
Julio on 09/17/2010 11:36 am
Greatness!
Danny 4 Eyes, how do you know this skeleton didn't belong to a sexy lady?
lil’ms’krueger on 09/17/2010 12:14 pm
I'm in love D:
DO THE CONGA
ColdFusion (Guest) on 09/17/2010 6:21 pm
I love that, as Dr. Ventuer put it, "crazy dead-people Christmas" they have in Mexico. Sugar skulls? Hell yes.
Captain Seamus on 09/17/2010 6:57 pm
My Halloween would be greatly improved if I owned one of those.
Also, RoG, I get the feeling that you have a hidden camera with you everywhere you go.
HowardC on 09/17/2010 11:39 pm
I think my life is now complete. Seriously I'm done....
Julio on 09/18/2010 12:20 am
ColdFusion, you're talking about the Day of the Dead (Día de muertos).
Copper on 09/18/2010 3:53 am
@Julio - True, but I think he's also talking about the Venture Brothers, and knowing Dr. Venture, he doesn't care about what it's really called, heh.
eL GUAPO on 09/18/2010 12:44 pm
It looks like my cousin FLACO! AAaH the memories.. dancing to Gloria Estefan in Little Havanna while sipping a colada!! shake it baby!!!
kentucky_fried_negger on 09/18/2010 10:16 pm
I been wondering did anyone buy these yet since you posted this video?
vctreality (Guest) on 09/19/2010 9:18 am
@RoG We sell them at my work, and while I normally try to encourage pushing every single demo button, this one seems like the manufacturer turned the volume to 11. One push of the button and the whole store could hear it.
@Kat Yeah, I work at Walgreens so if you have one nearby you can find them there!
@Danny 4 Eyes: Homosexual skeletons were represented a few years ago in RoG's review of the Busch Gardens Williamsburg Howl O Scream! So many suggestive poses and skeletons wearing glamorous jewelry!
Danny 4 Eyes on 09/19/2010 2:29 pm
@vctreality: Thanks for reminding me of that, I had to go and look at those pictures again, I spent a good 5 minutes in fits of laughter. Even though those poor guys are dead, they still retain their glamourous style.
