I'M GONNA BE ON THE RADIO!

[Lady Summerisle]

I, Lady, am going to be the host of a horror show on Brock University Radio and need some horror themed songs.
To play during my 1 hour program, I need a couple of excellent choices from my fellow Schmoes.

PLEASE INCLUDE CANADIAN BANDS, NO EXPLICIT HARD CORE BANDS THAT WILL OFFEND THE Canadian Broadcasting Council.

Lady Summerisle needs you!

[paul calf]

can't remember who sang it but "the monstor mash" instantly comes to mind.

[BadCoverVersion]

Ooooooh, get you Lady...;)

Congrats!!!

Shake, Shake Senora - Harry Belefonte (From Beetlejuice)
The Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen
Thriller - Wacko Jacko
Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran, Duran
How Soon Is Now - The Smiths (Buffy, Charmed Theme)
Ashes To Ashes - David Bowie

I'll be back with more asap.

Dead Souls by Joy Division

[JustOneFix]

Black No. 1 by Type O Negative- an excellent song to play on the horror show. Contains references to horror movies and the chorus goes something like this: "loving you was like loving the dead" It's a bit long though, so you need to get a hold of a radio edit.

"Dead in Hollywood" by Murderdolls. Catchy tune. Plenty of movie references.
"How to make a monster" by Rob Zombie
"Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads

"Cemetery Gates" by Pantera. You gotta play this song!!!

"The Killing Game" by Skinny Puppy. A disturbing song from a distinguished Canadian band.

Or, better yet, get "The director's cut" by Fantomas. This album is a collection of reworked classic movie themes - Rosemary's Baby, Twin Peaks, Henry: Portrait of a serial kilelr, The Omen, etc. All songs have lyrics and are sung by Mike Patton.

Don't know if this is too explicit but how about FREDDY'S DEAD by Iggy Pop? Oh and major congratulations. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

It was Bobby "Boris" Picket (& The Crypt Kickers) - 1962

:D ...I'm a huge oldies fan!

a couple of other great one's from loooong ago...

You might want to spin this one, it's great, plus it's by a Canadian band "I'm A Stranger Here" by The Five Man Electrical Band

also "Spooky"by Classics IV

[NeuGenX]

Congratulations :)

Hmmmmm, suggestions...

Quite a few songs by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath
Nature Trail to Hell by Weird Al
Icehouse by Icehouse
The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun by Julie Brown
Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden
He's Back by Alice Cooper (From a Friday the 13th movie)
Dream Warriors by Dokken (From a Nightmare on Elm Street movie)
Anything off Phenomena's first album (it was supposed to be a horror movie sndtrk in England but the movie was never made)
Alot of different Dio tunes
Alot of different Savatage Tunes
The Ripper by Judas Priest
Gonna Get Close to You by Queensryche
How the Gods Kill by Danzig
Hotel California by the Eagles
Voodoo by Godsmack
Haunted or Wolfmoon by Type O Negative

[Psychocandy]

About half the songs that Nick Cave has recorded are a cracking choice.

He did a song called Jack The Ripper that's a beaut. And nearly all of his Murder Ballads album is appropriate.

[bowieee]

The earth died screaming- Tom Waits

The BLack Rider: Tom Waits

Hmm I'll think of some more tonight. I have to go to work. Congratulations Lady Summerisle :)

[quoth_the_raven]

anything by The Misfits would be really fitting...

[Romero&Juliet]

Kate Bush- "Hammer Horror", "Get Out Of My House"

The Gandharvas-have a gander at their older stuff.. "coffee Song" "SHADOW!" There we go... Good ol' Canadian band..

I'll be back...!

[SIREN30]

DIe die my darling-The Misfits
Wolf Moon-Type O Negative
Christian Woman-Type O Negative
Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath
Nightmare on my Street-dj Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (oh sweet nostalgia)
Gloomy Sunday-Sarah Mclachlan (hey, she's canadian! Only the song is more gloomy than horror themed)
La Grippe-Squirrel Nut Zippers

Also, a great pick by a canadian band would be The Bare Naked Ladies doing Grim Grinning Ghosts. This is the song that is played during the Walt Disney World ride, The Haunted Mansion, and it really sounds more like They Might Be Giants.

Yes, I also recommend The Misfits (Just make sure it is Danzig-era).
Other tunes:

Ozzy- Bark at the Moon
Iron Maiden- Number of the Beast
Venom- Welcome to Hell
Emperor- I am the Black Wizards
Dissection- Soul Reaper
Bathory- Enter the Eternal Fire
Mercyful Fate- Gypsy

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[ofmknockoff]

Maybe some Cramps type stuff.

Some Slipknot/Murdedolls would also be very appropriate.

[Lady Summerisle]

Keep 'em comin' guys! Mucho thanks for all this input.

Yes, stevereno, the eggheads will be creaming their jeans listening to me!

[Romero&Juliet]

Break a leg, Lady S.!

[SIREN30]

I just heard a song that would be PERFECT to open up your show Lady Summerisle...it's only about a minute long. It's by Tonya Donelly (from her Beautysleep album) and it's called Life is But a Dream. It's the perfect blend of eerie loveliness....

[bowieee]

Some more:

Scary Monsters super creeps: David Bowie

Weird Science: Oingo Boingo

Noone lives forever: Oingo Boingo

Werewolves of London: Warren Zevon

Satan gave me a taco: Beck

[SIREN30]

Another great Danny Elfman pick:

Dead Man's Party-Oingo Boingo

also

This is Halloween-from Nightmare Before Christmas

[Lady Summerisle]

I actually have THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE X-MAS soundtrack!

Thank you for the suggestions on the Tanya Donelly song, I might just do that for one show.

My first show will be a tribute to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I would like some more Canadian suggestions if any other Schmoes know some obscure artists who do horror related, or horror sampled stuff.

P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't know what I would do without you guys.
