    That is wild! I didn’t even know there were one hundred songs about Halloween! Had no idea! TIME WARP is my all time FAV! I LOVE that song! When I worked for Duke TiP (Talent Identification Program) one summer, we ended EVERY night of that camp on the steps w/ all the Tipsters singing and dancing to this song! Good Memories, takes me back! I guess I will bust it out for my Elementary Students and we can all dance too! :-)

  2. Kim on October 8th, 2007 1:10 am

    That sounds like fun, Melanie. TIME WARP is a great song. It can get most anyone out of their chair.

    I also like LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.

  3. Famous Monsters on October 27th, 2007 7:22 pm

    Rihanna - Disturbia

    A couple of old-school rock:

    Guns N’ Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
    AC/DC - Highway to Hell

    Halloween Lover,
    Awww… how could I have forgotten “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Highway to Hell”? Those are classics. Thanks for your suggestions.

  10. DJ SHEA-BUTTER on October 16th, 2008 3:42 pm

    - if i may…
    The Addams Family Groove - MC Hammer
    The Crypt Jam - The Crypt Keeper
    The Creeps (Fedde Le Grand RMX) - Camille Jones

    Being an old guy, I know the old songs. “That Old Black magic” (has me in its spell. That old black magic that you weave so well. Those icy fingers up and down my spine. That same old witchcraft when you eyes meet mine. etc. It was written by the same guy, Harold Arlen, who wrote “Over the Rainbow” for the Wizard of Oz.)
    Also, Sinatra (you may have heard of him) had a hit with a song titled just “Witchcraft.”

  12. Kim on October 16th, 2008 4:22 pm

    Thanks, DJ Shea-Butter. Glad you like the list and thanks for adding to it. Maybe next year I can post a top 200 list with all these great suggestions I’m getting.

    Have a great Halloween!

  13. Kim on October 16th, 2008 4:28 pm

    Hey Tom! I learn something new every day. Thanks for the trivia and contributing. I’m off to iTunes right now to check out “That Old Black Magic”.
