HALLOWEEN!!!

Hey everyone!! Hope all of you had a fantastic Halloween!!! In honor of Halloween, I decided to dedicate this blog to Halloween...and of course, the music played during the occasion :)

Well, we all know that spooky music is definitely played on Halloween...but there are a lot of songs that aren't necessarily considered "spooky" that are sometimes played on Halloween, or in honor of Halloween. One song (which I had almost forgotten :P) that our band performed was from Ghostbusters. An amazing song, and an amazing performance. My personal favorite, however? Thriller by Michael Jackson (<3). We had our senior pep rally this past Friday and all of the senior football players' moms performed to it and then later on that evening, the cheerleaders performed to it, while our band played it. It was definitely amazing to watch such a large group perform the routine. I remembering learning the dance freshman year in my Dance 1 class. I loved it then and I will probably love it forever <3

Of course everyone has their own opinion as to what songs are the best and which may not necessarily fall under the "best" category. But according to about.com, the top 10 Halloween pop songs are as follows:

10. White Zombie-"I'm Your Boogieman"
9. The Who-"Boris the Spider"
8. Talking Heads-"Psycho Killer"
7. Squirrel Nut Zippers-"He**"
6. Specials-"Ghost Town"
5. From the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' soundtrack-"Time Warp"
4. Mike Oldfield-"Tubular Bells Pt. 1 (theme from 'The Exorcist')
3. Michael Jackson-"Thriller"
2. Bobby Pickett-"The Monster Mash"
1. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince-"Nightmare on my street"
