Over the years we come across songs here and there that really defines the Halloween October spirit, these are 5 of my favourites.
No.1 Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo
Originally written for the Back to School soundtrack starring Rodney Dangerfield. If you ever have the opportunity to see this film, it was one of my childhood favourites, you also get the chance to see a very young Robert Downey Jr.
No.2 Thriller by Michael Jackson
Now I’m the biggest Michael Jackson ‘non’ fan out there, but you can’t steer clear of this song come Halloween. This video even has lyrics so you can sing along. You’ wouldn’t believe how many copies of this video is on you tube but blocked so you can’t embed them in other websites and blogs. Don’t remember but as far as I remember that’s Vincent Price doing the narration.
No.3 Little Shop of Horrors
This was a great film from the 80s, and the music was fantastic. Not really party music, but I love watching this anyway at this time of year.
No.4 Ghostbusters Theme Song by Ray Parker Jr.
We all loved this song and the movie. You’re singing along to it now aren’t you.
No.5 Monster Mash by Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett & The Cryptkickers
Really can’t leave this out either, saving the most obvious for last. If you can think of somethig we’re missing, please do leave your suggestion for next year.
New 2010 editions for a new year of Halloween Celebrations…
No.6 Ghost Town by The Specials
The song is currently ranked as the 90th greatest song of all time, as well as the best song of 1981, by Acclaimed Music. The perfect accompaniment to your Halloween Shindig.
No.7 I’m Your Boogie Man by KC and the Sunshine Band
Not really ‘Boogieman’ in the term of a Halloween monster, but still appropriate nonetheless.
