Seeing a lack of festive holiday songs I penned these at breakfast. You should be able to figure what tunes they go to. With your help they might one day be sung on playgrounds everywhere. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reinghost Rudolph the red nosed reindeer If you're out on Halloween He'll fly out of the dark night Creepy the Ghostman Creepy the ghostman There must have been black magic in Creepy the Ghostman Creakity crack crack The Candy Stealer Is Coming To Town Better not go out He's hairy and green He sees you trick-or-treating He'll take your Snickers |

I forgot about these until the other day and bumped 'em back into the present in the hopes that new blood and old might help them reach the under 10 set everywhere. (This may seem like flagrant self promotion but anonymity in its purest form is one of my heart's greatest desires. Here's a flower.) |

Here's one that Tikifish and I were fooling around with the other day. It is only a partial transcription from the ancient Coptic: =============================== I like King Tut and I can not lie So Ladies (yeah?), Ladies (yeah?) Get on your knees |

You are correct! There were too many verses to translate in one sitting. You got the Reader's Digest Condensed version. Sabu |

With this post I now have a personal Tiki Central Halloween tradition of bumping this topic to the surface at the appropriate time of the year. |

Here's little ditty we whipped up for our Maikai Gents Halloween show: "Ugly Hula Hands, stirring up a witch’s potion Ugly Hula Hands, Flailing in the air cold and lifeless I can feel the rotting flesh drip Tasty as a fresh made clam dip, as I scoop it up Of your hula hands, fingertips so cold and boney ...And then I wrote: "Tiny blood cells Tiny blood cells We’ll dine ‘neath the golden moon Tiny blood cells |

I just polished off a whole bottle of Jack-O-Lantern Schnapps while addressin' my Halloween cards (What does the ghost beautician tell her clients? "Darling, you're BOO-tiful!" Ha-ha-ha!!! So cute!) and I drunkenly realized it was time to bump up this thread. Cuz what's a holiday without repetitious tradition? |

While attendin' a rather eventful party at The Bamboo Grove of Westwood I was havin' a chat with Seattle's Ghostess Jonelle***** and the subject of singin' Halloween songs came up. "I didn't know there were Halloween sngs to sing!" exclaimed the Ghostess. "Yes there are!" I exclaimed back, "I wrote some Halloween songs to be sang to already familiar tunes. Every year I bump-in-the-night them on Tiki Central." "Oh, I don't get on Tiki Central enough," explained the Ghostess, "And if I do I don't read your posts." Oh Ghostess! I appreciate your honesty and candor. And as a special surprise I have 3 dead bats in my freezer fer yer party punch bowl. *****The Ghostess Jonelle throws a swell lil Jet City Halloween party. If yer interested PM her fer info. |

When I think about this song, I remember the smell of the rubber ghoul mask I got at Toys R Us that year. This would have been around 1975...and this was, I believe, originally a poem (written in the 1940's, possibly?), and it was later put to music and the poem altered slightly (if you look around, several variations of the poem can be found). The music is creeping and mischievous, haunting but not too scary. Somewhere I have a vinyl record of classroom songs that has a very "folksy" version of this. ~ HALLOWEEN ~ Tonight is the night Tonight is the night Tonight is the night |

Unholy crap! I didn't bump-in-the-night this thread last year? Fortunately I've remembered to do it this year just in the nick of time...The holiday tradition has been saved! |

Here are 3 videos I posted on YouTube that I made of Halloween songs from the CD "Andrew Gold's Halloween Howls": (1) The first already has sentimental value to me after I heard it with a date in a Dollar Tree in 2009. The second is fairly catchy, and is based on a blues chord progression. I find the third one too complicated to lodge in listeners' memories, but it's cute. That CD was made with the idea of creating Halloween-specific holiday songs instead of using pop/rock/rap songs from the Top 40. I like the idea. After the Walmart Christmas stampede incident of 2009 that killed one shopper, one guy on a bus told me that people are nicer to each other on Halloween than Christmas. He had a very good point, I think. I predict that Halloween will become an increasingly important holiday for people, and will spur its own set of holiday music, analogous to Christmas carols. Aspiring musicians who want to write future holiday classics: take note! |
