The song, which Pickett sung in a Boris Karloff impression, spent two weeks at No. 1 and has re-entered the chart in each of the past three years, thanks to annual holiday gains.
Pickett earned one other Hot 100 hit in his career. His Christmas-themed follow-up, “Monsters’ Holiday,” peaked at No. 30 a year later.
