As a youngster (growing up in the Carpathian Alps with my grandpapa, a respected cheesemaker and impaler, during the French and Indian War), one of my favorite science fiction movies (starring the late Steve McQueen) was "The Blob." It was campy, trite, and budget-tight, but it was thoroughly entertaining, especially if you were a teenager (which I wasn't) in your freshly-waxed Studebaker (or Biscayne) at the drive-in theater.
The theme song from the movie is actually a wonderful Mambo. Very, very catchy. Please click on the link and enjoy this bit of musical nostalgia. You'll find it difficult not to dance around with a foolish grin on your face, and the song will be running through your mind for days. I promise [but being a prudent businessperson, I will not put that into writing. Ha!].
This masterpiece was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1958. The vocal was performed by The Five Blobs, who later went on to various unnotable cover careers under the US Federal Witness Protection Program.
