Default Why so few Halloween songs?
I have my traditions, including "Fools and Their Fences" (can't link yet; check it out if you can find it) some of Massive Attack's creepier stuff and of course, Season of the Witch, but it strikes me that we don't have a tradition of music on Halloween, like we do for Christmas. I'm not just talking about carols, though that would be nice, but even singles, like Fairytale of New York or White Christmas.

They have fun ones but that's the best. This is good though.

How many people care about "The Monster Mash" past the age of seven? It kinda sucks tbh.

Monster Mash fans are the type who'll simp for a banger they haven't even heard.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
