Excellent! How about Halloween by Misfits and Surprise! You're Dead! by Faith No More?

For Halloween, we would have an annual party and play an 80's-90's mix, which included such classics as "Thriller", "Witchy Woman", "Abracadabra", etc.

"Sympathy for the Devil" is my FAVORITE on that entire list!

Whenever I manage to rile the people here up, I sing it to myself while I'm walking down the street. LOL

Mark - Yeah, those should probably be on the list.

Wendy - Abracadabra! Man I loved that song when I was a kid and haven't thought about it in years. Witchy Woman is another one that should be on the list.

Thanks guys! The more music the merrier (or is it gloomier for Halloween?)
