The Misfits - Skulls
ReplyDeleteThat would have to be my favorite Skull song. . .a classic.
Skull logo, skull song, can't get more skull if you tried!
The Misfits 'Skulls' of course. I want your skull......
ReplyDeleteLet's pick a lesser known Halloween chill out song. "Leaves in the River" by Seawolf is about two people who meet on Halloween. Closest thing to a Halloween love song I've ever come across.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack (how about "This is Halloween" for a Halloween-specific song?)
ReplyDeleteReach me at violetwaters (at) gmail.com
I love Skull Heaven by Viking Skull.
ReplyDeleteAs ineligible as I am, I still want to comment that SLAYER's Skeletons Of Society is an absolute classic. If you like newer metal then check out Mastodon's Crystal Skull.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite bone-related tracks has got to be "Dig Up her Bones" by The Misfits.
ReplyDelete- Archmage Chaos / cthulhuwaitsdreaming AT gmail DOT com
I like Kate Nash's Skeleton Song... I always get it stuck in my head!
ReplyDeleteA Ghost to Most by Drive-By Truckers
ReplyDelete"But skeletons ain’t got nowhere to stick their money. Nobody makes britches that size"
reidcc311@gmail.com
"The Greatest Show Unearthed" by Creature Feature. AWESOME!! Actually, the whole album is awesomely funny romp of horror.
ReplyDeleteOh my... There's "Skulls" and "Halloween" as well as "Dig up her bones" by the Misfits as well as Skeletons in the Closet by Anthrax... too many good ones to choose from!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I can't say I listen to much music that features sculls. The only 2 that come to mind... are THRILLER.. but I suppose those are zombies. And the early mickey mouse cartoon that had the dancing skeletons. Man I feel old. Even older now that I realize I'd pass those totally cool earphones on to my teenage son.
ReplyDeleteImmediately thought of Beck's "Hell Yes". Now that's a sweet song. With a skeleton reference! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery Day is Halloween by Ministry, of course!
ReplyDelete"Brake Your Bones" by Kill Paradise.
ReplyDeletea very different sound than most songs about bones.
Touch of Grey by the Greatful Dead
ReplyDeleteMorrissey's "Something is squeezing my Skull"
ReplyDeleteCheck out this version of Sebadoh's Skull song by LOU BARLOW of Dinosaur Jr
Favorite Holloween song of all time: Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash" I had a PE teacher in grade school that taught us a whole dance for it, she so cool!!
"Skull" by Sebadoh ... and "It's Halloween" by the Shaggs!
ReplyDeleteMr. Bones' theme song from the video game Mr. Bones (Sega Saturn). Every time i see a skeleton it reminds me of Mr. Bones :) Greatness.
ReplyDelete"Expressway to Yr. Skull" by Sonic Youth, obvs
ReplyDeleteCalling all Skeletons by Alkaline Trio...from an album featuring a skull on the cover...
ReplyDeletejosephs@colorado.edu
Kate Nash "Skeleton Song"
ReplyDeleteLyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kate_nash/skeleton_song.html
P.S. - My 25th birthday is on Sunday... lol wink wink
'Anyone Out There' and 'Dangerous Posse' by Three 6 Mafia. the song has a real dark and eerie feel to it just like most of their songs. perfect for any halloween situation and multiple skull and bone references too.
ReplyDeleteBeen listening to George Thorogood lately... gotta dig the heavy back beat of "Who do ya love?" (...brand new chimney put on top made outta human skulls...)
ReplyDeleteconcretinsATyahoo
My Favorite song that features a skull is the skull pinata in the Apocalyptica video in the 'I Don't Care Video' & if that doesn't count then the Nightmare Before Christmas' 'This is Halloween'.
ReplyDeleteWarren Zevon's "Excitable Boy": "he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones."
ReplyDeletereach me at pamelasiska@yahoo.com
I always think of a stupid song we sang in elementary school that was a halloween song designed to teach us spelling.
ReplyDelete"H - A - double L - O - W - double E - N - spells halloween!"
"Them bones" By Alice in Chains
ReplyDeleteI believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big hole pile a them bones
tee hee.... bones....

It's not *technically* a Halloween-specific song, but I have always loved Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo.

Fun surf-psychobilly-horror instrumental song
contact: nicolemax92@gmail.com
I've always been partial to "Halloween" by the misfits. The background noise is reminiscent of howling spooky winds!
ReplyDeleteamfiii@hotmail.com
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Skeleton Me
ReplyDeleteIt's actually pretty and low-key (not badass or Halloweenie at all) but it fits the bill.
"Roll the Bones" by Rush!
ReplyDeleteValhall Awaits by Amon Amarth talks about cleaving skulls.
ReplyDeleteI like the original too, but "This Is Halloween" by Marilyn Manson kicks ass.

ReplyDelete"SKULL RING"
<3 Iggy Pop.
of course that old childhood classic - i believe is called "dry bones"! a short excerpt:
ReplyDeleteWith the hip bone connected
to the back bone,
and the back bone connected
to the neck bone,
and the neck bone connected
to the head bone,
Oh mercy how they scare!
Oh those bones, oh those bones,
oh those skeleton bones.
Oh those bones, oh those bones,
oh those skeleton bones.
Oh those bones, oh those bones,
oh those skeleton bones.
Oh mercy how they scare!

My fave Halloween song is Haunted House by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Used to listen to it all the time when I was little. Lyrics below:
ReplyDeleteI just moved in my new house today
Moving was hard but I got squared away
When bells starting rings and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up my mind to stay
Nothing was a-gonna drive me away
When I seen something that give me the creeps
Had one big eye and two big feet
I stood right there and I did the freeze
It did the stroll right up to me
Made a noise with its feet that sounded like a drum
Said "You gonna be here when the morning comes?"
"Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes
I'll be right here, I ain't gonna run
I bought this house, now I am boss
Ain't no haint's gonna run me off"
In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot
Coffee was a-boiling in the pot
Grease had melted in my hand (pan?)
I had a hunk of meat in my hand
From out of space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans
"Say that's hot" I began to shout
He drank the hot coffee right from the spout
He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the frying pan
And said to me "You better run and don't be here
When the morning comes"
Say yes I'll be here when the morning comes
I'll be right here now, I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now I am boss
Ain't no haint's gonna run me off.

ReplyDeleteClassic old rock tune.

Definitely "Skulls" by the Misfits! I can't think of anything that no one else has already listed. :)
ReplyDeleteTatman likes beard metal! Blood Mountain is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe first one that came to mind was "Falling to Pieces" by Faith No More. The video clip is full of eyeballs, paint, body parts, pets, and x-ray shots of Mike Patton's skull!
Also, "Skullstorm" by Old Man Gloom is awesome.
And for something less sludgy, "Your Skull Is Red" by Team Sleep.
Oh, and Arch Enemy are on their way out to Australia soon, so I should add "Skeleton Dance".
I already have Skull Candy earphones, and I do love them so. :)
Lil' Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I make my october music mix, this one always makes my top ten.

ReplyDelete"The Land of the Dead" by Voltaire- "A Minotaur's my butler, a Cyclops my valet
ReplyDeleteA Centaur draws my chariot that takes me down the way
Through a river made of fire to a street that's paved with bones
I got a dozen zombie skeletons to walk me to my throne
In the land of the dead
Heck boy, ain't it grand?
I'm the overlord of the underworld
Cause I hold Horror's Hand
In the land of the dead
I'm darkside royalty
I'm foreign out in the underground
And you can't take that from me
Whoa! (whoa) Whoa! (whoa) Whoa! (whoa)
Oow! Oow! Oow! Oow! Oow!
Cerberus my lap dog is loyal as can be
My bed is made of skulls; I'm in the lap of luxury
I've got a Dragon's Blood jacuzzi; the Gorgons think it's cool
And a seven-headed Hydra livin' in my swimmin' pool
In the land of the dead
Heck boy, ain't it grand?
I'm the overlord of the underworld
Cause I hold Horror's Hand
In the land of the dead
I'm darkside royalty
I'm foreign out in the underground
And you can't take that away from me
No you can't take that from me"

"Dry Bones" by The Delta Rhythm Boys and the theme song to the movie "Halloween." The original. None of this "H20" malarkey!
ReplyDelete"My Love in Cold Blood" by HIM is great. You can't beat a line like "Darlin' take me home, to a castle made of skulls and bones"
ReplyDeleteI just love the image. Best. castle. ever.
Well, I'd have to go with "This is Halloween", like half a dozen other people, but how about the Pixies' "Bone Machine" as a second choice?
ReplyDeleteOh and glad someone mentioned Zombina and the Skeletones: 50s doo wop + zombies and skeletons = win.

I'd have to say This is Halloween from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. I know I sound goofy singing along to it, but it always gets me in a good mood!
