I first head this song in 1980 while living in Indianapolis. The following year we moved to Houston and no one had heard of the song. It took the internet and over 20 years to find the song name and hear it again.
It's from Whitfield records and the Band had only 2 albums released in 1980. "Monster Fun" is from On The One. It a cool funk song with a rap section that features a bunch of nerd culture references. Anybody else remember this song?

Lyrics (I did my best to transcribe them from the youtube video)
Monster Fun by MammaTapee
(upbeat music) Well we got so many people in the place If you want to dance you got to find your own space I'm glad to say, my friends the monsters been all soaked in Is there any hold up for the human race
Well, I think you ought to call your daddy Tell him to come down here and see I don't want him to believe that I'm trying to make a scene. But your mama likes a boogie with me. Don't you know that you can't run We gonna have a Monster Fun! Don't you know that you can't run We gonna have a Monster Fun! Don't you know that you can't run We gonna have a Monster Fun! Don't you know that you can't run We gonna have a Monster Fun!
Monster fun Sure 'nuff gonna get to you Monster fun Gonna make you dance, dance Monster fun Nobody gets away Monster funs Bites everyone And
You feel it, you feel it You can't get away You feel it, you feel it Monster fun is here to stay You feel it, you feel it You can't get away You feel it, you feel it Monster fun is here to stay
We call out to you Obi-Wan We know that you're so wise Please won't you use your ESP And come into our minds We call out to you Obi-Wan Please won't you help us out We need you to reveal what Monster Fun is all about
Here I am, y'all, Fresh from space and on the case I'm Obi-Wan and I'm having fun And I don't need no laser gun When I need somebody to rescue me I call on good old Mammatapee I'm 5 feet 11 with a handsome face And I can play the hell out of electric bass Now I know my style is out of sight Cause I make my moves like Dolemite But I'm here to take you one on one And tell a little bit about monster fun Now everybody get off your butt And go turn your radio up What I'm gonna say you just can't miss So everybody get to this Okay?...Okay!
Now, monster fun lies somewhere in between The dark side of the force and a laser beam And it's got a power all its own And when it grabs you, you can't do no wrong Now it's got more cool than the boogie man It even made old Darth Vader dance Now, we gave a party on July 4th And Dracula came through the door Now me and my lady got scared till he said Look into my eyes and don't be afraid I know you think I've come for blood But I'm only here to cut the rug And if this party is really fine, Then I'll call my good friend Frankenstein Everybody say Frankenstein...Frankenstein!
By Now, you think that monster fun is not for me and you But I'm here to tell you, uh uh uh Cause good guys be there, too. (Good guys be there too?) Yeah, Good guys be there too.
Cause Mr. Spock said Captain Kirk was having such a good time He wanted to give the after party on the starship Enterprise Luke Skywalker got in late, said he couldn't find the place Han Solo said the music wasn't loud enough to put him into hyperspace And even Chewbacca was in the corner and he was rapping pretty hard To a fine foxy sweet good looking lady Imperial Guard And Lando, known as Billy Dee, had danced with Princess Leia. Her hair looks so bad I think the aliens Had her scared Everybody say Yeah (Oh!) Run that magic comb through your hair Say yeah (Oh!) Girl! Go get yourself a Jheri curl Are you scared? (Yah, yah) Well don't be Cause we're in orbit around the sun And when you get home you tell your mama You got bit by Monster Fun We took all the chairs out So it ain't gonna be no sitting down Cause Monster Fun is here When Mammatapee comes to town
I'm Obi wan with monster fun And I likes to see you smile And I'm gonna let Monster Keyboard man get down for a while Do it now!
