The Count sings a "Transylvania Love Call" to his Transylvania "toot-toot-tootsie" each night when it gets dark and foggy and the werewolves and spiders come out to play. His sweetheart makes him think of lightning storms, newts, cobwebs, toads, and other creepy things. And best of all, they can count bats together!
On the album Love, the Count's girlfriend is credited as "the Countess," but most subsequent releases cite her only as "a Great and Good Friend of the Count." She is performed by Richard Hunt on the album version. In the televised version, she's performed by Brian Muehl.
The song was covered in Dutch by Bennie Jolink and Ellen Ten Damme for the 2000 special Sesamstraat in Paradiso.
