Okay, you've decided to have a Halloween party. You
have the
costumes and the decorations and the hundred-proof "witches'
brew."
Now all you need is the music. Oh, sure, you can play the same
old
music you play at birthdays, weddings and bar mitzvahs... But
this
is a special time of year when actual dead people are expected to be in
attendence. And this calls for a special music selection to put
some
spark in your spook. (Okay, that was really bad.) So here
is
your chance to vote (and maybe get some ideas) for your all-time
favorite
HALLOWEEN
PARTY SONG!
(Note: I thought it would be cool to have exactly
thirteen
candidates on the list, but I just couldn't decide what to
eliminate.
Oh well.)
Some irony for you: Christian fundamentalists do not
celebrate
Halloween because they view it as too Satanic. Pilgrims did not
celebrate
Halloween because they viewed it as too Christian. Jehovah's
Witnesses
do not celebrate Halloween, Christmas or Easter because they are based
on the Pagan holidays of Samhain, Yule and Beltaine. Pagans
celebrate
Samhain, Yule and Beltaine with optional traditions associated
with
contemporary Halloween, Christmas and Easter.
