Okay, so it’s that time again when everybody breaks their diet and indulge themselves in fun size pieces of candy, try their best to dress up as their favorite celebrity and parties that will have a playlist with Michael Jackson’s âThrillerâ as the first song on the playlist. Arenât you tired of that? Listening to âThrillerâ three thousand times and seeing everyone doing the dance to every song that is not âThrillerâ. Itâs time for some new Halloween songs and these five songs should help your Halloween be that breathe of fresh air, instead of a played-out everyday routine.
Letâs start with something abstract and out of the ordinary. How about some Jazzy, Electronic and 8-bit-esque sounds of Flying Lotus? Recently, FlyLo released his album Youâre Dead! and sounds pretty good. On this album, thereâs one song that definitely captures the artistic direction of the project. âDead Manâs Tetrisâ is that song. The features on this song includes FlyLoâs rapping alter-ego Captain Murphy and Snoop Dogg. People are probably thinking, âWhat makes this song Halloween-ish?â To answer that question, the song sounds scary and funky at the same time. Throughout the song, listeners can hear an evil and maniacal laugh as Snoop and Lotus go all out on their verses. This song could fit perfectly if a mummy were to perform a dance routine right in front of you. It sounds dark and definitely has that Halloween feel to it.

Song number two: Staying with the abstract and dark sounding theme, another song to add to this list comes from Sir Michael Rocks. Rocks’ song âPlaystation 1.5â from his Banco album definitely fits the dark sounding criteria. Donât focus on the lyrics on this because itâs all random and Rocks sounds like heâs rapping as if heâs been possessed by an evil spirit. Doesnât that sound scary and Halloween-ish? It should. Remember the movie, Cujo? The movie with the rabid dog going around killing everybody? Well, the song starts off with dogs barking, and thatâs pretty weird. Then to have those dogs barking over some dark computerized sounds makes it weird but it gets quite mesmerizing once Mikey raps his first few bars.

On to song number three: Some Rock should, itâs only right. Rock ‘n Roll and Halloween is like peanut butter and jelly. They go hand and hand in perfect harmony. Ozzy Osbourneâs âMr. Crowleyâ fits perfectly for this list. Just from the beginning of this song, oozes and shows how creepy this songs sounds. To have the organ to mesh and blend perfectly with the guitar rips shortly after definitely shows the true making a Halloween song. For Ozzy to sing about this mysterious and creepy guy that we donât know about adds on to the greatness of this song.

Song number four might be coming from left field but some good olâ P-Funk should fit on this list pretty well. This definitely slipped my mind but a friend suggested this and you canât argue that it doesnât. Any version of âMothership Connectionâ by George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic just makes want to throw on your platform shoes and dance your behind off at a Halloween party. Thatâs a perfect Halloween outfit there, a person from the seventies. Also George Clinton was the original martian before Lilâ Wayne called himself one but that doesnât mean much.This song itâs psychedelic and groovy, those elements definitely can set the mood for Halloween party-goers.

Last song for this list, might feel out of place but this song has that âout of body experienceâ feel to it. Itâs another Rock song and plenty will appreciate this tune. âEnter Sandmanâ by Metallica is the song to close out this list. The simple guitar melody increasing into an epic song as the song develops. Listening to this song is sure to give anybody a pure rush of adrenaline while causing havoc into the night. If a song can energize you from within, forget the candy. Just throw this on repeat and the night shall last.
