13 Halloween Hauntings: Day 1

For the next 13 days, I am going to list my all time favorite Halloween songs. There will be a new entry every day in reverse order, and the list will be kept on the “lists” page. I will also provide some commentary with each entry. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!Halloween

13 Halloween Hauntings

13) “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper”-Blue Oyster Cult from “Agents of Fortune” 

Blue Oyster Cult Agents of Fotrune

To start things off, I have picked a classic rock selection from the 70’s. The song is very atmospheric, and uses dynamics to great effect. Almost acting like a chorus, the hypnotic guitar riff finally gets the opportunity to explode for an extended solo in the middle instrumental section. The words are very descriptive and visual as the reaper tries to seduce the maiden to go with him. What better way to start the holiday list than with this gem!

Oh, and before I go, I almost forgot to tell you, “I have a fever, baby. And the only way to cure it is with more cowbell!” The song, of course, was immortalized with hilarious performances by Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken on a Saturday Night Live satire of VH1 Behind the Scenes! And you know, you can never, ever, have enough cowbell!

Check in tomorrow for #12…………….
