<br>Wow . . . Horrorgirl, that's an impressive list! I'd forgot completely about "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads. That one should have sprung to mind immediately. Good work!

Ignatius Jones - Like a Ghost
P. Furs - The Ghost in You (Siouxsie's version also)
Oingo Boingo - No One Lives Forever, which contains the perfect Halloween party lyrics:

Let's have a party
There's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf
And I don't want to die

<br>ACK! Could I beg you all to hold off on this topic for a bit? I know FritzB is cooking us up a special Halloween NTT treat. I'd hate to spoil it, but certainly you're certainly free to discuss whatever the want.
[/quote]Hehe, no worries. They've IDed a couple of the more obvious choices, but if that's all they know, they'll only get 12 points on my game. They'll have to go alot deeper than that. <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~fritzb1/devilwink.gif">

BTW: NTT 26 Halloween Edition will launch after Blir's WLIR game ends.

I may be the only person on this board who likes "Once Upon A Time", but I gotta nominate "Ghostdancing" by Simple Minds.

"Ghost Town" by the Untouchables is a new wave song that I always associate with Halloween.

I liked the Prodigy cover of "Ghost Town" a lot, too. Both of the versions by Prodigy and the Untouchables would be good Halloween music.
