Helping you out with a couple Halloween themed songs every day until All Hallow’s Eve!
I am partial to Jonathan Richman’s music. I especially love his cute songs for kids. I’m a Little Airplane. I’m a Little Dinosaur. Ice Cream Man. Hey There Little Insect. This one’s a little more grown up, but it’s still cute. In this day and age, a song about how a guy is intrigued by women (and maybe slightly frightened of them) is positively charming.
“Who would have predicted? Who woulda suspected? She’s not so scary she’s got all of my records. Vampire Girl, Vampire Girl Oh, I get so intrigued when they look like a vampire girl”
“Halloween” - Dead Kennedys (1982)
“…You go to work today You’ll go to work tomorrow Shitfaced tonight You’ll brag about it for months Remember what I did Remember what I was Back on Halloween But what’s in between Where are your ideas You sit around and dream For next Halloween Why not everyday Are you so afraid What will people say
After Halloween …”
Halloween. Dead Kennedys.
I rest my case.
