Little old lady got mutilated late last night...

That may not be an appropriate subject title for a post, but it is my favorite lyric from Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. (It may be one of my favorite lyrics ever, I'm not gonna lie! The metrics, the alliteration...the macabre LOLs it inspires! ♥)

So the time is drawing nigh for Halloween--my most favoritest holiday of the year! I've already started working on my costume, bought goodies to hand out to my students, and now I would like to burn a fresh Halloween CD to take with me to parties and play for the Trick or Treaters.

So tell me, darlings: What are your favorite Halloween songs? What would you most like to see on a Halloween mix?

Please do include the obvious ones we've all heard and boogied to before, and the not-so-obvious ones I may not have heard of, or may not have associated with Halloween before but just fit like a glove!

I am quite happy to be your heterosexual doppleganger (-;

It is just one of the best songs ever written, and I was so made when Kid Rock sampled the opening riff! I would hear it and get all excited for Werewolves of London, and the crappy Kid Rock comes on! Boo!

Is it terrible that Halloween is one of the biggest reasons why I want to have kids? I can't wait until my friend's son is old enough to Trick or Treat so I have a legit reason to do it. (People tend to think it's weird when you just borrow random kids.)

I love listening to little boys talk about their Halloween costumes. I learned way more than I ever wanted to know about the different uniforms of the Star Wars clone army officers last week. "And then there's this guy and he wears this and there's a gun here and he has a belt here and red on his chest and..."

Why no costume for you? Not even a hat? Some cat ears?

Ahh! I feel the same way about that Kid Rock song! I thought I was the only one! I would get all disappointed and change the station :)

Haha, well, I didn't even wait for my son to be 'old enough'. I took him when he was 3 months old! I just carried him around, and he fell asleep in my arms, and I just kept trick-or-treating! Now he's three years old, though, so it's a lot more fun now :)

Um, I'm going to wear my Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie. It glows in the dark :)

Ugh, killing me with the stories of the cute kid, here! That's it: I'm going out tomorrow and getting myself one! (Parents in the Metro-Detroit area: lock up your children!)

My "nephew" was a froggy last year; he was 5 months old. This year, he's one and a half, and I'll have to ask his mom what she's dressing him as. I am just such a fan of babies in costumes, you don't even know! I'll bet your son was adorable.

And your hoodie sounds very cute! Def. Halloween-approved. :)
