Tim Ryan's long list of Halloween songs

Oct 25 23:16 UTC 2001

        Since I got the nifty new computer, and can make my own
CDs and .MP3 disks, I thought I would gather up my Halloween 
related songs.  All came from my own CDs, LPs or tapes.  I'm
not done yet.
        Some relate very directly to Halloween.  Others follow
on the theme of spooky things, witches, werewolves (and a 
werecow!), alien invasion, bad luck, spells, devil women and
other stuff that would seem good in the mix.  
        Notice how much that could be on the radio station you
listen to is not in their playlist, even with less than a week
to go until the occasion.  I think radio could be more fun if
some of these tunes where returned to the air for this month.

  I can think of several you should add, but the Kinks' "Wicked Annabella"
  is playing on my computer right now, and thus deserves special mention..

        I'm listening to the Screaming Jay hawkings version on 
my "Oldies but Ghoulies from the Crypt" collection.  The CCR
version or the Crazy World of Arthur Brown version of "I Put
A Spell on You" might go into the more recent rock collection.
(still thinking of a good make for that collection).

                I didn't think of The Eagles "Witchy Woman"; which I
just heard this morning before.  Probably because I am lacking in
Eagles CDs.  (Should have greatest hits, I do have greatest hits
concert).  Oh well, off to the vinyl stacks.

Yes, but how many of these are any good?

"Monster Mash" keeps coming to mind in my neighborhood, because I live 
in Silicon Valley where the newly rich tear down their old starter 
houses and build oversized ballooned imitation-Mediterreaneans known 
locally as monster houses.

"They built a house - they built a monster house ..."

Hey, I like "Dead Man's Party" too.

BTW, that was Rockwell performing "Somebody's Watching Me," and he's 
one of Berry Gordy's children.

Rockwell.. thanks.  I knew I didn't get that right, and was hoping 
someone would correct me.  Yeah, I did see he's one of Berry Gordy's 
kids on the "Pop Up Video" version.  Might explain why Michael Jackson 
was very willing to sing the chorus.. it's said he was very close to 
the famed record producer.

I have "Twilight Zone--Twilight Tone" by the Manhattan Transfer on one 
of my CD's.
