   • 1962, “Monster Mash”, Bobby "Boris" Pickett and Lenny Capizzi (lyrics), performed by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers:

     Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
     Seems he was troubled by just one thing
     Opened the lid and shook his fist
     And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
     It's now the Mash
     It's now the Monster Mash.

     […] Roger Corman's 1993 attempted Bram Stoker's Dracula rip-off, Dracula Rising (New Horizons), which is to Coppola's vampire epic what Drac's reflection is to the count himself.

     Still, the Count graciously agrees to […] do a brief roll call of his manifold Dracula tattoos. "That's a Drac, that's a Drac, that's a Drac, that's a demon, and that's for me," he says of the tattoo on his right arm that reads donna. The full-length Dracula on his back, alas, is but one third complete.

     It was Irish actor, playwright and director Deane (1880-1958) who, upon adapting Stoker’s novel for the stage, envisioned ol’ Drac as a tuxedo-and-cape-wearing high-society maven that was, later, perfected by Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi.
