Thread: Songlist of Party songs

Tweet

I thought it would be fun it all members of the forum compiled a list of songs they plan to play at their halloween party this year...it need not be thriller or something usually considered "halloween", basically what songs get you feeling the halloween spirit? I'll start, my party theme is Egyptian mummies and I plan to make someone in the winking murder game die from doing the "Sand dance" mentioned in walk like an egyptian. They'll have to turn the ipod to the song and then expire doing the sand dance...

Let the list begin! Again, it's anything that you want to hear at your own party or that gets you into the spirit of halloween...I've started it and I'll even share my favorite version of this song...just got it off itunes- artist Counterpoint, Album lights in the rearview 2008...enjoy

well I like to listen to a lot of movie soundtracks and scores, and for my parties I usually add several tracks that are soft enough so people could converse without screaming, but still feel in a Halloween party setting. A must in my song list is "Noah Visits" from the movie soundtrack for The Village

See, that's great Allegrya! That really gave me a vibe of what your party feels like.
I bet you don't rush around at the last minute making sure everything is perfect and that it's more important for you to meet and greet everyone when they arrive at your door! Thanx for that song suggestion too!

I don't have parties hence no list of my own, but the Egyptian theme made me think of 'The Mummy' from Mad Monster Party. You could use that in an Egyptian theme. That would be cute.

Here it is on YouTube... would be easy enough to convert the FLV to mp3 audio, so much free software for that online.

YouTube - The Mummy (Mad Monster Party)

Hey nightbeasties,

Thanks so much! That is too kool, I think I'll play that right before the great unwrapping of the mummy! I think i'll copy that onto my camera and play in on my tv! Halloween claymation is the best!

You can never go wrong with Zacherley the Cool Ghoul!

thanx for your suggestion lollirot,

I'm so glad it will be part of your party! How cool.

I have this 90 min tape that I play that is made up of:
1.) The great halloween hits like MONSTER MASH
2.) Top 40 Hits that aren't Halloween but have a sort of vibe like The Classics Four SPOOKY
3.) Funky r&b that fit in like Screamen' Jay Hawkins I PUT A SPELL ON YOU
4.) Totally unknown guys like The Hollywood Flames MONSTER HOP.
5.) Film soundtrack themes like THE EXORCIST.
Will have to come back and give you a walk through it..the whole thing is a lot of fun..

I pulled out the cassette version of this tonight and was playing it in the car with the kids.they were all singing along..(they should, I've been playing for them for YEARS...) The whole 90 min shebang is what gets me going. I tend to go for the old, nasty,and disreputable stuff...explanations when I think you need them...if you don't know too many of the ones without any explanation, you have some basic catching up to do...
BOBBY BORIS PICKETT Monster Mash....The one the only.
CARL BONAFIDE Werewolf What Del Shannon would have sounded like if he wound up doing rockabilly on the Tiajuana tourist circuit
X FILES THEME
SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS I Put a Spell On You ...The first and best version.
JACK AND JIM As if Gene Pitney had a twin brother and they tried to sound like the Everly Brothers.
ROLLING STONES Sympathy For The Devil
SHEB WHOLLEY Purple People Eater ... "Tequilla"
RAY PARKER JR. Ghostbusters
DAYLIGHTERS Mad House Jump ...What it would have sounded like if Earth Wind and Fire were formed back in the 50's and did the porkrib joint tours.
DAVID SEVILLE Witchdoctor ...Before there was Simon, Theodore, or Alvin,there was 'ooo eee ooo a-a-a ting tang ramma lamma ding dang"
STEVIE WONDER Superstition
CASTLE KINGS You Can Get Her Frankenstein ...Absolute GENIUS..they took 'Rock and Roll is Here to Stay" and put in new words about Frankenstein winding up with the girl on bandstand.
