Music Monday: Scary Tunes

by Scott Lydon


Happy Music Monday! We're all looking to be scared around this time of year, aren't we? If you don't want to be scared, don't come in here! Seriously. Today's Scott's doing a mix full of scary songs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

The Girls - Jeffery I Hear You

 

Ah, there's nothing like a good old fashion Halloween ghost story, is there? You ask me, more songs should be like this. BOOOOOOOO.

More scary stuff coming up after the jump.

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare

 

I remember being a little kid and getting scared by Alice Cooper. Isn't that incredible. Today this record seems practically all-american when compared to some of the other stuff out there. And yet... still scary.

Bauhaus - Bella Lugosi's Dead

 

Bauhaus was always kinda dark and gothic. This is what vampires would listen to. And what are vampires? That's right! Scary!

Scott Walker & Sunn O))) - Brando

 

Scott Walker started singing sappy love songs. Then something changed. Imagine if Justin Timberlake suddenly released a witch house record and that's basically what a shock it was when a kid with a great voice moved to, well, things like this. Warning: video is also scary.

Golden Palominos - Victim

 

This one was written by the woman who's speaking it. It's edgy, and dangerous. Is it empowering? Is it mean to undercut the fear of being trapped by someone else? Is it just meant to be scary? I can't really say the intent. But I do love it. And it is kinda scary.

Let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week.
