“Children’s Day at the Morgue” might be the best damn Halloween song ever

“ Thriller,”Screaming Jay Hawkins’“I Put A Spell on You,”and“Halloween Shindig ” by Ed Twilley and the Creepersare manifestly Halloween classics . But few songs equilibrise “ eternal slumber ” and “ clean-living vacation fun ” quite like the previous Sheldon Allman ’s 1961 line “ Children ’s mean solar day at the Morgue . ” ( Allman was also the tattle vocalisation for Mr. Ed . )

It ’s further worth remark thatAllman composed a bit of toe - knock , Cold - War - era ditties about nuclear apocalypse , which arepretty spectacularin their own right . [ ViaWFMU ]
