these horns are up to no good

“she did the mash, she did the Clayton mash…with her fist’”

I isolate myself from my least favorite holidays starting with H’ween!!

To help get into the halloween mood, I suggest LAURIE (Strange Things Happen) by Dickey Lee from 1965. It doesn’t get right-to-the-point, but it has a nice finish.

How about Thriller? … Sympathy For the Devil? … Don’t Fear the Reaper? … Black Magic Woman? … I Put a Spell On You?

’Tis the season to be…. a little demon.

?? Alexa say no???

You have to admire his commitment

I wonder how hard it is to write with those gloves on

Mash that little monster!

Starting this Friday, Hallmark Channel begins its 24/7 “puke-a-thon” called “Countdown to Christmas”, which will last until 1/2/23!!

Makes Halloween seem paltry by comparison.

There are hundreds of Halloween songs. There are probably enough werewolf songs to play 24 hours straight without repeating any.

There was a sequel to The Monster Mash, it was The Monster Swim. Never as popular. But Clayton needs to expand his horizons, there is a lot of great music for the season out there, from Baroque and Romantic to jazz. Personally I like to listen to the variety of songs about the ghost of Anne Boleyn.

he’s about to get a graveyard smash…

I’ve been sick of that song for a long time. When it comes on the radio, the radio goes off.

Spike Jones “My Old Flame.” Tom Lerher “I Hold Your Hand in Mine.”

Scary songs – for the feminists there’s She’s Funny That Way.

The Eagles “Witchy Woman”, or as Elaine on Seinfeld called it: " Witchay Woman"

I recommend “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” Very Halloween.

Dead Man’s Party – Oingo Boingo

Brotherly and sisterly love…….???

That’s where he needs to go into rock and metal. There are plenty of very good options for creepy, scary, or outright Halloween-themed songs.

In particular, you’ve got groups like Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, KISS, Helloween (who actually did a 13-minute ode to Halloween), Accept, and Dio.

One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater!

I have to admit, I’ve heard the monster mash a few times to many in my life, but if hear Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer one more time, I think I’ll throw up.

When Alexa questions a request, that’s the sign that they are totally in control….

The Christmas songs are just a few good songs that have many different renditions.

Even Alexa has had enough?

Throughout October I jam to pipe organ, harpsichord and Theremin music.
