Doing A Small Ns Party For Halloween - Need Themed Songs

Posted

I don't mind stepping across boundaries a bit and playing a lil jazz/funk/disco/whatever. The people coming aren't soulies anyway.

So - what can I play at Halloween that fit's the bill?

Trick or treat... you give out CANDY to the kids who come to the door?......

Yes Screamin Jay Hawkins did several others in his drunken session.  "Little Demon" comes to mind.  Also, "Frenzy".   There were several more on the "I Put a Spell On You" LP.

Glad you beat me to it Haydn, "Igor's Party" is the ultimate halloween tune. That YT clip sounds way ramped up in speed though. 

 

Try this one, slower n' creepier ;)

 

Edit: My mate who turned it on to me plays it slow in the popcorn tradition, guess thats why when I heard other clips it didn't seem quite right, hah!
