Back to 11 Songs for the Zombie Apocalypse
Harry Belafonte "Zombie Jamboree"
Keystone Hulton Archive
You won't find any Walking Dead-style misery or nihilism in this calypso number written by Conrad Eugene Mauge Jr. and popularized by the likes of Harry Belafonte, The Kingston Trio, and Carmen Sandiego-seeking acapella group Rockapella. In this perky little number, the living dead are having a grand old time, singing, dancing and drinking rum in a New York cemetery. "I don't give a damn," the narrator reasons. "I done dead already."
