Ain’t No Monster Mash: Better Music for Your Halloween Party, Day 2 of 13
Another song you will likely hear at whatever Halloween party you attend (or host) is “I Put a Spell On You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. While I definitely don’t recommend cutting such a classic single from your playlist, I do suggest adding its B-side, “Little Demon.” Both songs should have been hits, particularly the more danceable “Demon.” Apparently just a little too outrageous for their time, neither made a dent on any chart.
In case you missed it, here’s a link to yesterday’s Halloween song: “Nightmare.”

- Are these guys supposed to be students or geniuses? Why do they have a mixing bowl? I didn't have a mixing bowl until you lived with me for a year. What is that on the white board?? Calculus? The change of density over the change of time? That's grade 11 calculus. What is this show about? Geniuses? Geniuses don't display grade 11 math around their apartment. Geniuses don't even have to write that shit down.
