30 Songs that would be on my Halloween party list.

For the last few years I've had this vision of throwing a big, sort of elaborate Halloween party. But when September and October roll around again it never seems like the right time to throw a big party. Still I keep thinking about what I'd do if I were having a party and have been working out a list of songs a list of songs I'd like to play.

I decided a while ago that they can't just be good songs but that they would all have to have something about them, a lyric, theme or attitude that ties them to Halloween. Here is my partial list. I like all sorts of music so it's pretty random (and in no particular order here).

She wolf by Shakira (whenever I hear this it makes me wish I was having a party this year)

Psycho Killer by Talking Heads

Wherewolves of London by Warren Zevon

Evil Ways by Santana

Feed my Frankenstein by Alice Cooper

Monster Mash by Bobby (Boris) Pickett

Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue

The Devil Went Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band

Witch Doctor by Alvin and the Chipmunks (yup that's right the Chipmunks)

Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clear Water

This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson (it's a remake of The Nightmare Before Christmas song)

Halloween by Siouxie and the Banshees

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley (I know the chipmunks did this one also)

Ghostbusters by Ray Parker JR

Time Warp- from Rocky Horror (incidentally the Chimpmunks have a version of this too)

I'm Your Boogie Man by KC & the Sunshine Band

Nightmare On My Street by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

I put a spell on you- the Sonique version (which isn't a very good version but it's fast enough for a party).

Dragula by Rob Zombie

Love Potion No. 9 by The Searchers

Superstition by Stevie Wonder (love this song!)

Somebody's Watching Me- by Rockwell (I think it's by Rockwell anyway)

Walk Like An Egyptian- by The Bangles (I have love this song since I was a kid)

Welcome To My Nightmare- Alice Cooper

One Way Or Another- by Blondie (It's very Halloween in spirit I think... kinda creepy)

Back in Black by AC/DC

Black Cat by Janet Jackson
