Here's the lyrics-remember I only had one day to write the song. But I meant every word of it. Oh, also check out my pal Eban who brought in his Theremin:
Halloween was my favorite holiday but in these last few years
Something so terrible has filled me with fear.
It's not the razor in the apple; no I heard that never happened
No, it's something much worse
It's women whose Halloween costume is just that they're slutty
That's not a costume at all. What happened to Witches and monsters?
They left the Halloween Ball
Just putting kitten ears on your head is not creative.
A skimpy black dress is not very scary--unless you're Ann Coulter
Stiletto heels are not that special unless worn by a man
I'm not a prude, but I'm not a fan....of
Women whose Halloween costume is just that they're slutty
That's not a costume at all. What happened to Witches and monsters?
They left the Halloween Ball
Okay, maybe if you play a dead prostitute from say Jack the ripper days or maybe a zombie whore from outer space. But the naughty devil outfit in lingerie? Well, that's...just not good
Oh, the song is also on
my new blog for Yahoo Music. Please visit and comment. No one yet knows I exist.
isn't a Halloween costume a personal choice?
Isn't using a pic for your post of women dressed sexily for Halloween as exploitative as the costumes themselves?
young women trapped by the "girls gone wild" syndrome are rebelling as much against political correctness oppression on the left as oppression on the right.
ONe thing I think you ARE doing right is presenting the issue in a thoughtful way - and I am not trying to be critical as much as bring up questions your great song inspired
PEACE
What you expect when the internet has replaced parenting?
I have four daughters... A couple get it, and the other two don't. The oldest wanted to be a "punk rocker". I'm more than old enough to remember the genre, but prefer musicians who can actually play. "What's necessarily scary about punks?" I asked. Then I though... Nancy Whatsherdeadface was pretty scary so I suggested her, post-mordem. "No" said my oldest. "Nobody knows who she is".
"As no one should" I thought.
I wanted the 4 of them to go out as Alex and his Droogs. No dice... The codpieces/jockstraps were a bit much, and they wanted stuff their friends knew. But everything their friends know is just a boring ass Disney version of stuff my generation invented.
Oh well... Another year of boring vague "punk" clothes, fairy princesses, and lady bugs.
Who is this holiday for anyway?

I always feel sorry for the actual prostitues on Hallowe'en night. I mean, how's a girl to get any business? What's she going to dress as - a nun?
Sex=rape
Rape=silence
