The new version, a flash video called ``Monster Slash,'' features the original singer, Bobby ``Boris'' Pickett, taking President Bush to task for policies to promote logging and mining.
``He and his friends cut the forest down,'' Pickett sings as animated figures of Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other administration officials dance with a chain saw, hatchet and scythe.
``He did the slash,'' Pickett continues in a reworking of the familiar chorus. ``They did the forest slash. ... It was brutally brash.''
In less than a week since its release, the song has already generated more than 100,000 unique visitors to a special Web site,
www.monsterslash.org, according to its sponsors, the Campaign to Protect America's Lands and Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.
Pickett, who hit Number 1 on the charts with ``Monster Mash'' in 1962, said he agreed to record the new version ``because, like millions of people, I think this president has the worst environmental record in the history of our great nation.''
