POLL: Fan Favorites - Songs That Go Bump In The Night
Added 2022-10-17 19:03:46 +0000 UTCIn October, we are succumbing to the ‘sounds of the season’, as autumn arrives in the northern hemisphere, and Halloween greets us at the end of the month. Personally, I’m not much into ‘scary movies’, but I’ve always been fascinated by songs/music that is intended to make us uncomfortable. So, this month, we are interested in hearing your best picks for songs that sound eerie or scary, songs that are on a scary topic or reference macabre topics, or songs that remind you of scary images/scenes (for instance, from a movie soundtrack).
These are the 18 Finalists from the Discord round of submissions and voting. Your task is to pick up to five that you would like to see in the video at the end of the month.
I'll include as many songs (in order of their score) as I'm able in about an hour-long video.
There is a google sheet with more information (including the submitter's note) for each of the selections: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12KMm9Z7KxRhWYQ0a7fBdRw5u0-cuUdj7YrQkS7jBfWo/edit?usp=sharing
This is an unlisted YouTube playlist that goes through the songs using the links provided: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO0n3LrUjxKrgGz0wKcRDchWD9P2BZoPG
Happy voting! We'll run this poll through next Monday, October 24.

I'm hoping "Alucard" has made it by the skin of its teeth.

2022-10-20 14:06:39 +0000 UTClove CCR and voted for it but I agree, both are superior versions and more halloweeny

2022-10-18 22:37:40 +0000 UTCI didn't see the original discussion, so I may be foolish in expressing a little disappointment with the absence of Subway Song (The Cure), along with representations from Mr Nightmare himself, Alice Cooper. But hey, I may have to just listen to them now, instead. Oh well. :)
2022-10-18 21:42:43 +0000 UTCHad you included the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version of "I Put a Spell on You" or Arthur Brown's version, I would certainly have picked that.

2022-10-18 20:07:23 +0000 UTCOh man i hope A Little Piece of Heaven will be played in that hour. And im really surprised you even consider this kind of song.
2022-10-18 18:41:08 +0000 UTCSure the video is great, but take away the video and you still have a Danny Elfman-esque metal song about zombies, written specifically as a silly Halloween song, with horns, clarinets, strings, and a choir.

2022-10-18 13:04:45 +0000 UTCI've always prefered Monster Mash performed by the Bonzo Dog Band, with lead vocal by Vivian Stanshall, who was the Master of Ceremonies voice on Tubular Bells

2022-10-18 12:18:49 +0000 UTCThe Amougies performance of Careful with that Axe Eugene is the most epic version available on video: https://youtu.be/kiaFPgFWJDM

2022-10-18 05:48:39 +0000 UTCActually, Geoff Castellucci from VoicePlay does a very fun version of Bobby Pickett's The Monster Mash.

2022-10-18 03:50:57 +0000 UTCMost of the reaction to that is usually the music video, though. The lyrics are vague enough that they can be interpreted different ways.

2022-10-18 02:39:03 +0000 UTCAbsolutely chuffed to see The Lady Lies on the list, it's absolutely the high point of the And Then There Were Three album. With regards to Careful With that Axe Eugene, the Umma Gumma version is the one which needs listening to.

2022-10-17 22:23:06 +0000 UTCCome on guys. We need to see Doug's reaction to A Little Piece of Heaven!
