SOTU 349: HALLOWEEN SONGS - ddanner

A very boring man!
I’d always taken this song on face value as a playful, almost novelty song about monsters - and as such a good fit for this week’s theme and a good one for a hallowe’en party. Then I had a proper read of the lyrics and discovered something a bit darker - could the approaching monster be a metaphor for depression or some other mental illness?
Anyway, it’s by a Welsh band called The Automatic and I like it.

This might be my favorite Halloween song, done by Buck Owens in the mid 70's. I did this one awhile back, but had fun recording it again here.

Inspired by my daughter, whose recurring costume for several years was something she created herself using only makeup, a porcelain doll with a broken face.

Great video ! However, I think it would be much better if he wears a Halloween costume and play a Halloween theme ukulele: https://www.strong-wind.com/Strong_Wind_Halloween_Blue_Soprano_Ukulele.html.

Quite the most cheerless song I've ever come across, this must be the ultimate scary Halloween scenario! My version of this wonderful ditty is (sort of) based upon the Jen Titus cover. In justification, I can only say that I am feeling rather cheerless myself at the moment and that I really don't like Halloween (which seems, to me, to be just an excuse for a commercial extravaganza!) Bah humbug!!!

Thanks for adding the lyrics Janet! I'll definitely revisit both your older songs on the "Halloween Originals" playlist once I get caught up here. BTW, your post is on page 7, and I sure hope I find something from you when I catch up with page 8 or 9! Wink! Wink! Nudge! Nudge!

I’m so excited for the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina that I’m recording ten ukulele episode recaps.

A bit of Tom Waits. A song for those with one foot in the grave.

I am not familiar with the Netflix series, CAofS, so I'm a bit confused with respect to whether this is a cover or original. Is the music from the Series theme? Did you write all the recap lyrics? I enjoyed your performance and lovely vocals and playing, but I did not know whether to put it on the " Originals" playlist or not. - dennis

Greetings,
This is the Cranberries "Zombie" song. It's not really about Zombies. Hard one to do, I should probably drop it but wanted to post anyway. Might kill it later - then it would really be a Zombie song (get it?)
Target audience - well it would be adults, as the song is rather serious and the Cranberries fans would love (if only) I could sing like the original vocalist as she did terrific vocals on this song.
Ciao
