Los Angeles, CA (October 15, 2024) — The Andrew Gold estate has partnered with American Greetings to release a SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS ECARD based on Andrew Gold’s viral song by the same name. Originally released in 1996, “Spooky, Scary Skeletons” has surged in popularity in recent years on TikTok and YouTube, becoming a modern-day Halloween staple, with over 8.5 billion views in videos across TikTok and an additional 8 billion views on YouTube.
The song was written by American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, known for chart-topping hits including “Thank You for Being a Friend,” which has been featured by American Greetings in their greeting card line for over a decade.
Larry Mosca, Executive Creative Director at American Greetings, notes, “We’re excited to partner with the Andrew Gold estate to feature ‘Spooky Scary Skeletons’ in our ecards. This song has such a fun and catchy vibe that perfectly embodies the spirit of Halloween. We aimed to create something that brings joy with a touch of nostalgia, and this collaboration has truly helped us realize that vision.”
This collaboration was facilitated by Lenny Herbert of Maximum Orbit, who represents the Andrew Gold estate.
