The 2007 Halloween Playlist

Here's your Halloween shindig soundtrack, 30 songs to keep the horny neighbor in the cheap pirate get-up dancing and drinking at your house 'til all hours of the night.
This list has been carefully concocted to maximize thematic glee and sing-along fun.
We played this game last year, too, so I went back and added reader recommendations. Keep sending in your requests, and we'll bump the 2008 Halloween Playlist to 50 hits.
