Song: Spooky Scary Skeletons
Artist(s): Andrew Gold (original), Undead Tombstone Remix, LVCRFT & Peter Hollens

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEENNNNNN!!!!
🎃💀👻🕷🕸🧹👹👾😈👽

I can't believe it's finally Halloween!!! I feel like I've been waiting for Halloween to get here for forever but at the same time I'm feeling like... "It's already here!?" This has been a looooooong and truly, at times "frightening" month for me in a myriad of ways (most notably dealing with extreme stress and anxiety after a family member tested positive for Corona!). But it's also been a super fun and "scary" good month (family reunited!). I was able to successfully celebrate the Halloween season in a few, different, fun ways (went to a corn maze - haven't done that in years, saw a Halloween Light/Firework show, watched loads of Halloween movies/shows/videos, listened to all of my Halloween music (multiple times!) and just finished up having another successful dessert/costume/pumpkin-themed Halloween!! Pics below!

Today's final song is brought to you in FOUR different ways! I listened to all four versions during "Spooktober" and couldn't decide which I liked best! So you get them all!


Andrew Gold - OG version

Of course I have to begin with the original version! It's a classic! The video is set to Walt Disney's 1929 short Silly Symphonies: The Skeleton Dance


Spooky, scary skeletons
Send shivers down your spine
Shrieking skulls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight

Spooky, scary skeletons
Speak with such a screech
You'll shake and shudder in surprise
When you hear these zombies shriek

We're so sorry, skeletons
You're so misunderstood
You only want to socialize
But I don't think we should

'Cause spooky, scary skeletons
Shout startling shrilly screams
They'll sneak from their sarcophagus
And just won't leave you be

Spirits supernatural
Are shy, what's all the fuss?
But bags of bones seem so unsafe
It's semi-serious

Spooky, scary skeletons
Are silly all the same
They'll smile and scrabble slowly by
And drive you so insane

Sticks and stones will break your bones
They seldom let you snooze
Spooky, scary skeletons
Will wake you with a BOO!




Andrew Gold (Undead Tombstone Remix)

This was on my Apple Music Halloween Party Playlist and I think it's just a lot of fun!



LVCRFT

Not gonna lie, probably my favorite! This version is brought to you by the same folks who gave us one of my newest favorite Halloween classics, Take It to the Graveyard, from last year! They are GOOD when it comes to "sPoOkY" music! Plus, it was the "theme song" for Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween!"



Peter Hollens

Again, not gonna lie, probably my least favorite version.... not because it's bad, I just prefer the others! But I do love me some Peter!



I had a fun (if a bit long and stressful) day! I love when I am able to coordinate my costume with my pumpkin and with, what has become an annual tradition since Thriller (which started it ALL 5 YEARS ago!), dessert display! This year I was inspired by a MONSTER.... but he's the silliest monster around with the biggest sweet tooth... COOKIE🍪MONSTER! It took me all day long to bake/decorate my Cookie Monster inspired desserts, but it's always worth it at the end of the day, when I get to settle down, eat my hard work and watch Thriller with the fam (another tradition that began all those years ago... that was a good day!)!

Well, I would say this has been another successful year of Halloween Inspired Music here at Music Is My Therapy! I think I shared the most songs I ever have this season since I did a bonus post and shared multiple songs in one post a couple of times! There are a total of 97 SONGS on my Halloween Playlist! Plus MORE since some of my posts double up on songs! I HAVE OVER 100 SONGS FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO ALL SPOOKTOBER LONG!!! Can't believe I've just completed my 6th year of sharing Halloween tunes! 😱 Now THAT'S truly "terrifying!" 



HALLOWEEN 2020 IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS!!
IT WAS A "SCARY" GOOD DAY!
CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
SO, ONE LAST TIME....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
2020!
🎃💀👻🕷🕸🧹
UNTIL 2021!

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan...

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In thei...
