Girl Unaffiliated
Unabated, unimpressed, and unabashed.
Am I the only person who really detests “Monster Mash?” Why is this seemingly my only Halloween listening option? What is the appeal there?!
This year, I decided to stop complaining about “Monster Mash” and instead be a little more creative with my smooth Hallow-listening. This playlist, running at about a half an hour as per usual, is delightfully creepy (and eclectic, of course). Though most of these songs may be familiar, they aren’t your typical October favorites. Whether this is your second, third, or hundredth listen to some of these classics, the spook and fright of this Halloween night might make them just a bit more ghostly. Creep on over to the entire playlist here. 1.Zombie – The Cranberries Nothing like a song about the continuous violence in Northern Ireland to put the fear of the night in you. In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie What’s in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie 2.Psycho Killer – Talking Heads A serial killer?! And random French?! In the same?! Song?! True horror. Psycho killer Qu’est-ce que c’est Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better Run run run run run run run away 3.Jack’s Lament – The All-American Rejects I love this version of the song from Nightmare Before Christmas. Spooks have feelings, too! I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He'd give it all up if he only could 4.I Put a Spell on You – The Animals This one is for all my bad witches. I put a spell on you Because you’re mine 5.Spooky – Dusty Springfield Have you ever fallen deeply for the ghost that haunts your attic? No? Yeah, totally, me neither. Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you 6.People Are Strange – The Doors This was my favorite song in the eighth grade. What does that tell you about my middle school persona? People are strange when you’re a strange Faces look ugly when you’re alone Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted Streets are uneven when you’re down 7.Disturbia – Rihanna A more recent Halloween classic, I like to think of Disturbia as Rihanna’s modern response to FDR’s renowned quote, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” It’s a thief in the night To come and grab you It can creep up inside you And consume you A disease of the mind It can control you It’s too close to comfort 8.Superstition – Stevie Wonder Because Halloween makes old superstitious grannies of us all. Very superstitious, writings on the wall Very superstitious, ladders ‘bout to fall Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past 9.Bad Things – Jace Everett I got this song from the theme of one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, the always-wacky True Blood. This song will definitely get you into the falling-for-a-ghost mood (but as we already discussed that definitely never happens to sane normal people). When you came in the air went out And every shadow filled up with doubt I don’t know who you think you are But before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you In case you got too scared the first time, once again the mix is available for listening here. Happy listening/spookin’. -GU
