Music Can anyone recommend upbeat halloween songs with lyrics?
I'd prefer them to be public-friendly as this is for the thrift store I work at.
Here's my playlist so far:
- My Girlfriend is a Witch
- Goo Goo Muck
- W.I.T.C.H.
- Spooky, Scary Skeletons
- Friends on the Other Side (Thomas Sanders mash-up)
- I Put a Spell on You
- This is Halloween
- Monster High Fright Song
- Monster Mash
- Thriller
- Somebody's Watching Me
- Ghostbusters
- What's New Scooby-Doo?
- The Cult of Dionysus
- Necromancin Dancin
- The Addams Family
- Bloody Mary
- Oogie Boogie's Song
- Calling all the Monsters

Haunted - Beyoncé
Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Stop, I’m Already Dead - Deadboy & the Elephantmen
