Day 24: A Song From The 70s

Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call

Day 24: A song from the 80s

Yay! 80's! Finally time for some punk What to pick, what to pick...Oh! Of course!
This one has bones, ghosts, skeletons, goblins, curses and all sorts of hi-jinks without being a Halloween song!

Ramones - Pet Sematary

Points total: 3!

Day 24: A song from the 70's

Staying with the theme of obscure British rock, this one is considered a prime example of “Bootboy Rock”: stripped down rock n roll with a punky edge, a smoke filled pub rock feel and a dash of 70’s glam.

I don’t think this was ever really considered a genre, but it was basic rock that appealed to suede heads, bovver boys, football hooligans, boot boys, soul
Boys and of course glam fans.

As for Giggles, they produced a number of singles in the seventies before morphing into a more New Wave band, The Giants, who signed to RCA. They didn’t really go anywhere tho…



Giggles - Just Another Saturday Night

The prompt doesn't say whether Halloween specific songs are allowed so if this doesn't work I'll use my second song point and find another

To clarify—Halloween songs are totally fine! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you

 

[morelikeasong]

One point per day.
Point is earned by posting a song with one or more of the following key words:

Ghost, witch, magic, spells, costume, candy, pumpkin, scared, bones, scream

Iron Man as described in the song is clearly a monster +1

Great song, but no points

Day 25: A song from the 80s

The Psychodelic Furs: The ghost in you

 

[UnquietDreams]

Day 25: A song from the 80s
These guys never took off, but I love this song. And I am leaving today for a few days on the coast, so it seemed appropriate as well.

"Making love almost the moment we met
A soggy Romeo, a soaking wet Juliet"

I am not fond of the "Romeo and Juliet is true love" trope (because I have read the play), but it works her in a song about loss.

"Ghost on the Beach," The Insiders

+1 for "ghost", for 3 total.

The Killing Moon - Echo and The Bunnymen

So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
