everyday is halloween

scary songs

this tune by the talking heads is from the brilliant jonathan demme concert film Stop Making Sense [1984] & is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest rock&roll concert movies, ever.  what makes this a scary song ripe for the spooky season?  the title gives it away.  david byrne crafted a tune written in the first-person perspective of a serial killer.  creepy?  fuck yeah it is.  but try getting the chorus fa-fa-fa-fa out of your head.  once you've heard it this earworm clings to you like soap film.  how scary is that!

boo!
