On That Note - Scary Good Songs

[CycloneRulzzz]

Welcome to another weekly edition of On That Note. A column dedicated to music and hosted alternately by myself, @cyclones500 and @MeanDean .




This week, post songs you associate with Halloween. It can run the gamut: creepy, funny, Halloween themes referenced in lyrics or titles, music that evokes “evil.”

A couple of oldies:

This doesn’t truly reference the holiday, other than the title, but I've played it on Halloween for about the past 25 years. Studio version is good, but I prefer this live take.

I rarely listen to this song, but it sounds menacing and Halloween-esque. It should be part of a soundtrack for a haunted house. “Oh noooooooo…..!”

Whoa thought it was a nightmare
Lord it was so true
They told me don't go walking slow
The devil's on the loose

Thought I heard a rumblin'
Calling to my name
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries "take aim"

Over on the mountain, thunder magic spoke
Let the people know my wisdom
Fill the land with smoke

Last one and I'm done for the night.

Whoa thought it was a nightmare
Lord it was so true
They told me don't go walking slow
The devil's on the loose

Thought I heard a rumblin'
Calling to my name
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries "take aim"

Over on the mountain, thunder magic spoke
Let the people know my wisdom
Fill the land with smoke

One of my favorite CCR songs.

Edit: It paints an unsettling scene (and music matches the mood).

 

[Sigmapolis]

It's just a jump to the left.
