My wife, an expert cake decorator, is sponsoring and running a cakewalk tomorrow for like five dozen children. She wanted "Monster Mash" on a CD for the music.
Well, three minutes seems like a waste for a CD, so I made a playlist for her full of songs I either know she likes or strongly believe she would like.
Choose wisely.

The Virgin and the Gypsy, although it probably is not appropriate for a kid's event (but then again, they won't get all the allusions).

The Gunner's Dream - one of the gosh-darned prettiest ol' songs I ever heard.

Children will only hear the Monster Mash (unfortunately, really). The rest of the tracks are for Mrs. Ep.
None of the other songs are "Halloween themed."
I voted for the last number, by the way.

It is unfortunate. My own Halloween playlist has, among other things: Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - Haunted House Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy Alice Cooper - Unfinished Sweet Alan Parsons Project - (The System of) Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether. Arthur Brown - Prelude-NIghtmare Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath The Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs
Although I can see why you wouldn't want to expose children to the kind of rape, murder, sado-masochism and malevolent dentistry found in this list.

Well, Jesus did say "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and not, "Do unto the children what they, in a manner of speaking, do unto you on a daily basis."

Hey if it's Halloween we're talking about, be sure to throw some Kayo Dot, Meshuggah and Magma into the mix!

Carpet Crawlers, followed closely by Lazarus and Cocoon.

If I were to make a Halloween mix, it'd be:
Current 93 - Nature Unveiled (8 song version) and Merzbow - Venereology

Another vote for Kate; her voice back then is kinda witchy enough to turn the kids' heads...although I woulda gone with Hammer Horror myself.

Should have gone with the One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater. This is actually a toss up between Monster Mash and Lucky Man for me.

I voted for "Dreams" also. The self-titled album and RUMOURS get my vote for greatest pop albums ever. Lots on TUSK are brilliant as well. Still, if we're talking Halloween, while it *has* to be a Stevie Nicks song (she had that whole witch-thing *down*), I would have gone with the creepier, more gothic "Rhiannon."
