Song(s): Another One Bites the Dust, You Can Do Magic & Captured (By An Evil Mind)
Today, I'm starting with the 80's (best decade of music EVER!)!
You Can Do Magic - America
Artist(s): Queen, America & Rockwell
Welcome to Halloween Inspired Pop Songs week!! ๐๐ค๐
This week I will be focusing on "modern" artists (mostly in the "pop" genre but others may be sprinkled in here and there) with songs that either have Halloween sounding names or give off "spooky" vibes.
Today, I'm starting with the 80's (best decade of music EVER!)!
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
This song is iconic, everybody knows it!! The reason it made the cut is because "BITES" makes me think of vampires ๐ง and then "bites the DUST" makes me think of death ๐ Therefore, it fits the criteria for a Halloween sounding name!
Oh! Let's go!
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out!
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Hey!
Oh, take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Another one bites the dust, hey-eh-eh
Shout!
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Oh, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot out
Ay-yeah
Alright
Not really a "pop" song, gives more "soft rock" almost "folk" vibes BUT it is extremely fitting for the time of year where magic is more possible than ever! Especially the magic of witches and wizards! ๐ง♂️๐งน✨ "You know darn well when you cast your spell..."
I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you
I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire ...
Captured (By An Evil Mind) - Rockwell
Now this song is just FUNNY! ๐ I don't remember when or where I came across it but when I saw the name ROCKWELL it immediately made me think of his only well-known song thanks to a certain pop SUPER-STAR...and then I read the title of the song and I thought, I've gotta give this a listen! Evil minds are very scary...think mad scientist like Dr. Jekyll who brings his alter ego Mr. Hyde to life! Or even Dr. Frankenstein for that matter! I think this guy is a fan of "Halloween inspired music" considering the only two songs I've ever heard from him immediately gave me Halloween vibes! ๐๐ง
Hold me down and never let me up
So I can feel your lips, your kiss, your touch
When you turn it up as hot as I can take
I get caught, I can't stop, I can't escape
Evil lover
Evil lover
Keep your prey in captivity
Set your traps so effectively
As I was walking through your hunting ground
You came out dressed to kill and shot me down
Evil lover
Evil lover
Where will you go tonight?
Baby, where are you gonna light your dynamite?
You're just another lady
Why are you driving me crazy?
Your love keeps me enslaved
When I try to resist, the more of you I crave
How will I ever break free?
There's no way out for me
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, what an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, such an evil mind
When the mood is right, you unleash your power
Lightning strikes, it is your madness hour
Like a cat, there's fire in your eyes
You're stalking out where your next victim lies
You're never out to kill
You only torture souls to slowly break their will
You're just another lady
Why are you driving me crazy?
I've got myself to blame
'Cause I keep coming back, oh, girl, you got me trained
You've had so many like me
I guess I'm destined to be
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, what an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, such an evil mind
Just like a thief, you've broken into my mind
It's a crime, it's a crime
You're always stealing someone's heart, now it's mine
It's a crime, it's a crime
It's a crime
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured right before my very eyes
Captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured, captured, captured, I like it
Captured, captured, captured, captured by an evil mind
Captured
DON'T BE "CAPTURED" BY "MAGIC"...YOU JUST MIGHT "BITE THE DUST!" ๐ถ✨๐ง๐
