Song More Halloween Songs from Jason Josephes

Jason Josephes, a favorite guest blogger from Freaky Friday a couple weeks ago, tried to post a comment on my Halloween song post. Because of all the links, the machine thought Jason was a spammer. He’s not. But his suggestions are worthy of being shared, so here you go!:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. A list of Halloween-esque music WITHOUT Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s “Monster Mash”? That’s like Christmas without “Jingle Bells” or Valentine’s Day without “Ghostbusters.” For shame! Here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZJSW_7YLVs.
Or maybe you’re old fashioned and prefer the Mike Tyson/Bobby Brown duet from the Jimmy Kimmell Show. It’s not the scariest version, but it sure is the one I wanna listen to while smoking crack and eating my enemy’s children:
The scariest version? Easy. Mannheim Steamroller. It may seem like an odd cover choice for a band known for a Christmas album we’ll be listening to until we die, but MH founder Chip Davis’ first hit ever was the 1970’s novelty smash “Convoy” (under the name C.W. McCall.) Ashes to ashes, novelty song to novelty song.
Happy Halloween, everybody!
no freaking way. I LOVE my CW McCall album and have been listening to it since I was a kid. I had no idea that he was a fabricated country dude - and that the man behind the curtain is the Steamroller? You just blew my mind.
Holy shit! When did Bobby Brown turn into Dirt McGirt?
That's James Brown he's dressed up and acting as.
Acting my ass. Bobby Brown thinks Mike Tyson's a real vampire.
