Top 20 Halloween Songs

Ah, All Hallows’ Eve is again upon us and I’ve got witches, ghosts, zombies, ghouls, monsters, werewolves, things that go bump in the night, and a couple of really scary tunes to celebrate… These are my top 20 songs for Halloween

1. Marilyn Manson - This is Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween / Pumpkins scream in the dead of night / This is Halloween, everybody make a scene / Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright / It's our town, everybody scream / In this town of Halloween

2. Michael Jackson – Thriller

Darkness falls across the land / The midnight hour is close at hand / Creatures crawl in search of blood / To terrorize yawls neighborhood / And whosoever shall be found / Without the soul for getting down / Must stand and face the hounds of hell / And rot inside a corpses shell / The foulest stench is in the air / The funk of forty thousand years / And grizzy ghouls from every tomb / Are closing in to seal your doom / And though you fight to stay alive / Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist / The evil of the thriller

3. Boris Pickett - The Monster Mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring / Seems he was troubled by just one thing / He opened the lid and shook his fist / And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?" / It's now the mash / It's now the monster mash / The monster mash / And it's a graveyard smash

4. Misfits – Halloween

Bonfires burning bright pumpkin faces in the night / I remember Halloween / dead cats hanging from poles / little dead are out in droves / I remember Halloween / Brown leaved vertigo where skeletal life is known / I remember Halloween / this day anything goes / burning bodies hanging from poles / I remember / Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween / Candy apples and razor blades / little dead are soon in graves / I remember Halloween

5. Fairport Convention – Tam Lin

And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell / I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself / But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride / Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy

6. Carl Off – O Fortuna

7. Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells (Theme from “The Exorcist”)

8. Ozzy Osbourne – Bark at the Moon

Howling in shadows / Living in a lunar spell / He finds his heaven / Spewing from the mouth of hell / And when he finds who he’s looking for / Listen in awe and you’ll hear him / Bark at the moon.

9. Charlie Daniels Band – The Legend of Wooley Swamp

And that's been fifty years ago / And you can go by there yet. / There's a spot in the yard / In the back of that shack / Where the ground is always wet. / And on summer nights / If the moon is right / Down by the that dark footpath, / You can hear three young men screaming./ You can hear one old man laugh.

10. Alice Cooper – Welcome to my Nightmare

Welcome to my nightmare / Welcome to my breakdown / I hope I didn't scare you / That's just the way we are when we come down / We sweat and laugh and scream here / 'cuz life is just a dream here / You know inside you feel right at home here

11. La Union – Lobo Hombre en Paris

Cada noche llaman desde París / en el día en que todo ocurrió / Como un sueño de locos sin fin / La fortuna se ha reído de ti / Sorprendido espiando / el lobo escapa aullando y es mordido por el mago del Siam / La luna llena sobre París / ha transformado en hombre a Denis

Ya hear him howlin around your kitchen door / ya better not let him in / Little old lady got mutilated late last night / werewolves of London again.

And still the raven remains in my room / No matter how much I implore / No words can soothe him / No prayer remove him / And I must hear for evermore / Quote the raven, nevermore / Thus quote the raven / Nevermore

15. Squirrel Nut Zippers – Hell

This is a place where eternally / Fire is applied to the body / Teeth are extruded and bones are ground / Then baked into cakes which are passed around.

16. Johnny Cash – Ghost Riders in the Sky

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name / If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range / Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride / Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

17. Donovan – Season of the Witch

When I looked over my shoulder / What do you think I see / Summer cat looking over / It shoulder at me / Any strange, sure is strange / You got to pick out every stitch / Beat me its eye to make it rich oh no / Must be the season of the witch

18. Ray Parker Jr – Ghostbusters

If there's something strange in your neighborhood / Who ya gonna call? / Ghostbusters / If it's something weird an it won't look good / Who ya gonna call? / Ghostbusters / I ain't afraid a no ghost / I ain't afraid a no ghost

19. DJ Jazzy Jeef & Fresh Prince – Nightmare on my Street

Now I have a story that Id like to tell / About this guy you all know he had me scared as hell / He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed / He’s burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred / He wears the same hat and sweater every single day / And even if it’s hot outside he wears it anyway / He’s home when I’m awake but he shows up when I sleep / I can’t believe that there’s a nightmare on my street

Top 20 Songs from Fictional TV & Movie Bands

This is an odd list. Some fictional bands are put together for the purposes of a movie or a TV show and do not exist beyond their own universe. However, some fictional bands start off as fictitious, only to later become real due to their popularity. Here are my top 20 songs from Fictional TV & Movie Bands.

1. Spinal Tap - Stonehenge

This is the greatest fictional band that ever lived. We met them as the fictional subject of Rob Reiner’s "This is Spinal Tap", one of the best mockumentaries / rockumentaries ever. In fact, in the years since the 1984 film, the three actors who portrayed the band members (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer) have played occasional concerts, made TV appearances, and even released music under the Spinal Tap name.

2. Daydream Believer – The Monkees

The Monkees were "assembled" for a live action TV series that would compete with The Beatles cartoons. At the start, the band members provided vocals, and were given some performing and production opportunities, but they eventually fought for and earned the right to collectively supervise all musical output under the band's name. The group undertook several concert tours, allowing an opportunity to perform as a live band as well as on the TV series. By 1970, they had achieved 6 top ten singles (including 4 Billboard Hot 100 number ones) and several gold and platinum records.

3. Eddie & The Cruisers - On the Dark Side

When the Eddie & the Cruisers film came out, “On the Dark Side” by Eddie & The Cruisers was released and flopped in the charts. A year later, after several successful screenings in HBO, the studio re-released the song under the name of the real Jersey band that had recorded the songs for the film, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band. The song re-entered the charts and sky-rocketed to number one.

In the 1984 film Streets of Fire, Ellen Aim and the Attackers performed "Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" with members of new wave band Face to Face playing the part of the Attackers and actress Diane Lane lip-syncing to singer Laurie Sargent's vocals. When the Streets of Fire soundtrack came out, the song was attributed to Fire Inc., a Wagnerian rock ensemble composer Jim Steinman assembled to record two songs for the movie. A fictional band recording the music for another fictional band...

5. The Archies - Sugar, Sugar

The Archies is a fictional garage band founded by Archie Andrews and a group of fictional characters of the Archie universe for the animated TV series, The Archie Show. The fictional band's music was recorded by session musicians featuring Ron Dante on vocals and released as a series of singles and albums.

The Blues Brothers started out as a musical sketch in Saturday Night Live, where comedians John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd played Jake and Elwood Blues – The Blues Brothers.

7. The Commitments - Try a Little Tenderness

The Commitments is a 1987 movie about a group of unemployed young people in Dublin, Ireland who start a soul band. The interesting thing here is that although the group in the film was entirely fictional, the cast later began touring as a real band known as "The Stars from The Commitments".

8. Josie & The Pussycats – Three Small Words

Josie & The Pussycats began as an Archie comic book that later developed into a Saturday morning cartoon series. In preparation for the 1970 cartoon series, Hanna-Barbera began working on putting together a real-life "Josie and the Pussycats" girl group, who would provide the singing voices of the girls in the cartoons and also cut an album as well. After interviewing 500 finalists, they cast Cathy Douglas, Cherie Moor and Patrice Holloway, who recorded an album and six singles. In 2001, Universal Pictures released a Josie & The Pussycats film starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson and Tara Reid. The songs in the film were actually performed with Kay Hanley, former singer for Letters to Cleo, as the singing voice of Josie while the three actresses sang backup vocals on many of the songs. Josie & The Pussycats live twice...

9. The Soggy Bottom Boys - Man of Constant Sorrow

The Soggy Bottom Boys are the fictitious Depression-era "old-timey music" trio and accompaniment from the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?" played in the film by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson.

10. The Partridge Family - I Think I Love You

The Partridge Family was a 1970 sit-com about a widowed mother and her five children who start a music career as a traveling band. The Partridge Family became an instant phenomenon, not only as a TV show but as a band that produced actual hit songs. David Cassidy, who starred in the show as Shirley Jones' eldest son and sang lead vocals, became an overnight teen idol. In response to his instant fame, producers quickly signed him as a solo act as well. Although the Partridge Family did not actually exist as a live band, Cassidy began touring with his own group of musicians, performing Partridge songs as well as hits from his own albums.

11. Hannah Montana - The Best of Both Worlds

Hannah Montana is a Disney Channel series that focuses on a girl who lives a double live as an average school girl named Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cirus, daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus) by day and a famous pop singer named Hannah Montana by night.

17. The Wonders – That Thing You Do

According to the 1996 film written and directed by Tom Hanks, The Wonders was a one-hit wonder band. In the movie, The Wonders rise to brief stardom on the strength of "That Thing You Do", a song written as a wistful ballad but which becomes an up-tempo rocker during the band's first performance at a talent show. Written and composed for the film by Adam Schlesinger, bassist for Fountains of Wayne, and released on the film's soundtrack, the song became a genuine hit for The Wonders in 1996 peaking at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This song is about the time that I was ridin' my motorcycle. / Going down a mountain road, at 150 miles an hour, playin' my guitar. / On one side of the mountain road there was a mountain, and on the other side there was nothin' / there was a cliff in the air.
