The Halloween Post w/ music videos!

Happy Halloween!

As in past years, I'm probably not doing anything this Halloween, but there definitely seems to be a buzz about it this year. It's making me excited. Maybe it's because this year the day falls on a Saturday, so the revelry can be way more spectacular. Even seen creepy clowns in the sidewalk telling us to go to their haunted house. I've seen numerous sign post for more haunted houses. and I'm in the mood to carve a pumpkin. I even have the great pumpkin recorded on my DVR.

So in honor of this holiday, I present great songs for Halloween!



Of course, I have to put this up RIP Michael Jackson

And my personal favorite:

Popular Music besides in the US

I figured I'd check out what Europe and Canada see as popular music.

Canada has:

Currently number one in the European Hot 100:
I admit I have this weird fascination for Robbie Williams, i think it's that tattoo and the swagger, or it could be this vid:


That is until around the 3 minute mark... you have been warned if you have not seen this before.

I still head bang like Wayne's World



Push play. Read new Lyrics. Enjoy
oh if you can buy the shirt too.

Is this a graveyard? Is this a castle lab?
So many pieces that those other people had
Sewed them one by one, a new sort of son he’d be
I called for Igor, he brought a brain to me
Because Prometheus
He will rise
Show them all
I was wise
They all thought me maaaad
I’ll show them who’s maaaad you seeee
Not meeee

Mummy
Just killed a man
Opened up the casket bed
He got cursed and now he’s dead
Mummy
His sarcophagus
Was comfortable and they took it away
Mummy
Ooooo oooooo
Didn’t really want to rise
But if they don’t put it back before tomorrow
they’re all gone
they’re all gone
And he will show no mercy

His job
Is never done
All his organs kept in brine, he’s made lots of overtime
Pharaoh was his buddy, his life-long bro
Said he’d stay awake and guard him in the tomb
Mummy
Ooooo ooooo
there aren’t even windows
He cannot ever die
He’ll sometimes wish he’d never signed on at all


Igor be ready with that switch in your hand
God’s domain, God’s domain, going where you should not go
Thunderbolt and lightning, the monster is rising, see!

Come here, Igor
Here’s your Igor
Help me, Igor
I’m your Igor
Igor, shut it help me pull
This circuit clo-o-o-osed

I’m just a wolf man nobody loves me
He’s just a wolf man, oh the humanity
Three days a month he will hunt you and me

Quake in fear, I am here, to collect my rent
Dracula, no! We will not pay your rent
Pay my rent!
Dracula! We will not pay your rent
Pay my rent!
Dracula! We will not pay your rent
Pay my rent!
Will not pay your rent!
Pay my rent!
Will not pay your rent!
Never pay my rent?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Master we flee-a have to flee-a they have pitchforks at the door
The villagers have come to kill the monsters weeee
That’s weeee
We beeeeeeee


So you hit me with lightning and bring me to life?
Left me scared and confused and now I’m the bad guy?
Ohhhh, monsters
Who are really the monsters
Technically us
Technically, sure, but you see


We’re just allegory
You watch vicariously
We’re just allegory
You’re all the true monsters
Not weeee


Note the clever ennnndiiiing
CRASSSSSSssssssssh

R-71 revisted


I just wanted to touch base again on this issue since ballots are being mailed out and Nov. 3 is quickly approaching. The referendum is not about gay marriage. The actual ballot even states it is not a gay marriage bill. Whether they are misinformed or know the details and wish to confound the issue, opponents of the referendum have taken steps to mislead. There has been signage that says, "Reject R-71. Marriage = One Man. One Woman." I don't understand why American society has this weird issue with marriage. A good percentage of people either don't mind or actively believe a same sex couple should have the same rights as a heterosexual couple, but say the word "marriage" and that percentage shrinks, and with that, the rights that become exclusive with the word "marriage." It may be cynical of me, but sometimes i think certain people knows this difference and uses it against us and society.

Nevertheless, I feel it is necessary to make sure people see the difference, so they know that rights are being denied. There will be a time when American society will accept gay marriage, but in the meantime, at least give committed gay couples the same important rights a married couple has.
