Soul Dracula - Hot blood

There is a bad disco song for every occasion, I read somewhere on the web, and I think that's true. Take the lyrics of this single for example: 'Soul Dracula, hahahahaha / Come in, little girl / Let me do it, baby / Do it / Soul Dracula, hahahahaha / Come in, little girl / Let me do it, baby / Do it / Soul Dracula, hahahahaha / Do it little baby, hahahaha / Ah, do it / Do it / Hahahahaha / Soul Dracula, hahahahaha / Hot Blood / Haha More More Hahahahaha / Oh, more / Hahahahaha / Hahahahaha'.

With screaming girls in the background and the 'scary' laugh of the lead vocal this song scared me out of my wits as a child. Nowadays, you just have to giggle when you hear this. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a copy with the original picture sleeve (featuring a drawing of a dracula-type vampire), so I made do with this English disc when I found it. Oh, and this was a top 10 hit in the Netherlands in 1977, would you believe....
