Best Halloween Songs: Part Two

To the left, you'll find a picture of me dressed as Magnum P.I. Everything is in place for the perfect Halloween costume: the 'stache, the Tigers hat, the shades, the muscles, the sheepish boy-meets-man smirk, the chest hair which I had to glue on. The only thing missing is the red Ferrari, but if you squint, my champagne Mazda looks kinda fast.

For some reason, though, my Mag costume is failing miserably this year. "Uh, are you a tourist?" some bleeping bonehead asked me when I walked into his stinkin' Halloween bash last weekend. "Wait, I got it: You're Tony Soprano!" Tony Soprano? What, 'cause I'm fat? Finally, a lovely neighbor wandered into the party, looked at me and said, "I wanted my husband to go as Magnum!" I coulda kissed her -- but my mustache glue was weak, and I didn't want to risk it.

You forgot "Running with the Devil" Van Halen. How could you?

And although the song does not have fear or scary tendancies the group does. "96 Tears" - ? and the Mysterians

[sparky]

Maybe you should have went to the parties as Kelli Pickler. You definitely have the gambs to pull off that prom dress.

Can't forget 'The Number of the Beast' from Iron Maiden.

"Number of the Beast": good one. Lotta "devil" songs still out, too -- but didn't I already do a "Devil" playlist a few months ago?

Regarding my gams: I do have great legs, mainly because the Daly men don't generate a lot of body hair, giving me that smooth "porpoise" look.

"Zombie Zoo" -- Tom Petty

"Black Cat" -- Janet Jackson

"Bonin' in the Boneyard" -- Fishbone

[ClayFan]

I was at that party and I thought you were dressed up as Louie Anderson, with a cheesy fake porno mustache - thanks for clarifying.

[Guy]

Here's $10 that says you looked more liked Ron Jeremy than Magnum.

Bet the FF wishes that were the case, at least when the lights go down.

[ghoulies]

Is that the same "Magnum" outfit you wore to Olivia's first birthday party when Guy walked through the screen door? I thought you were Horatio Sanz with a 'stache. Some Halloween additions are "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring, "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads, "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, and "Hells Bells" by AC/DC.

Don't Pay the Ferryman - Chris DeBurgh

[Max]

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter (someday, when I'm President, this song will be available at every karaoke bar in the country)

[Sean Daly]

"Don't Fear the Reaper"!! Nice one, Ghoulies. Maybe I'll amend the list with some of these new gems. We've created one of the greatest Halloween-party playlists ever, gang. Nice work...

[Bob Croslin]

You'd look better in that getup Kellie Pickler calls a prom dress.
