Thanks for posting it and making it available. This is awesome and all I've been able to think about for a week now. I remember my old music teacher (who seemed to have one foot in the grade then) used to play it, and it was by far my favorite song. It's been rolling around in my brain since like 3rd grade. You seriously saved my sanity by posting the halloween song. I could only remember the second verse - heck, that's pretty good since it has been 28 years since I heard it last - but never have I gotten it out of my head.
This is just terrific!!!!! I have been searching for YEARS for the Halloween song.Thank you so much for this little gem.

It might not actually be obvious from the post, but you can download the entire album if you just click on the cover. Or if anyone out there has an Mp3 or 2 of these song maybe could email them to me 9:24 PM Jason said. mua ha haaa.Ĭan anyone please recite all the lyrics to the "H A LL O W EE N" song ? I remember the track too as a kid and am dying to live it again. hey, it could be dangerous! Now I do that to my kids. She also ransacked my goodies for chocolate because. Oh yeah - and my mom made me a floppy hand-made clown outfit even though I would have preferred one of those cheezy over priced vinyl costumes with the cheap plastic mask. YES! I remember the H-A-Double-L-O-Double-U-Double-E-N song! I heard it in first grade and haven't gotten it out of my mind since, but had no clue who did it. T by Withces' Brew do you mean the Hap Palmer LP? I just got thta one too, but haven't received it yet. I've never heard an audio version of this particular poem before, so it's been a big treat. Miller here wants to thank you for sharing this fantastic LP with us all. Brrrrrr! Gives me the willies just thinking about it. What made it all the creepier was that the illustrations in the book were entirely all silhouettes - stark, black, shadowy, images of kids and stuff. Since we were all a bit creepy we requested Little Orphant Annie (don't forget the T) over and over.
My Dad had a book from his childhood of a collection of Riley's children's poetry, and my Mom would read them to all us kiddies. Little Orphant Annie!! My god, that poem gave me the worst creeps when I was a kid. My buddy is getting all day on his cell phone. I got Witches' Brew and it IS the song from music class. I can't get enough of Halloween Dance, this is a fantastic album, thanks so much. You must have read my mind, I was just looking at a picture of this album.

Psst! Visit the official Golden Records Facebook Page for a free download of the "Halloween" MP3! It's a "Limited Time Only" type deal so act fast! Of course I don't know if that's the sole reason why this album clicked in my tiny head (I think I also just liked the '60's surf beat on a lot of the songs), but at the age of 5 it certainly all worked for me and (perhaps not so surprisingly) it really still does. By that I guess I mean that a lot of times the vignettes that are being told in this genre revolve around adults, and as a kid you had to visualize them more abstractly (6 year olds aren't likely to be driving around picking up hitchhikers for example), but on this record there are stories much more related to the age group they're being directed at a child takes a shortcut through the woods on the way back from Trick-or-Treating and encounters a spook, there's an eerie telling of the James Whitcomb Riley classic Little Orphan Annie poem, and so on. The overall vibe here is pretty playful, upbeat and active (the original pressing was aimed at educators and came with a booklet outlining the games described in the songs), but there's also an undercurrent of creepiness that seems more tied in to childhood to me than with many Halloween records. Wade Denning's career in spooky records (primarily through Pickwick) has been fairly well documented on Scar Stuff before (click here, here & here for more info), and he's joined on this album by Kay Lande who had a pretty long running career with kids records herself (she and Denning had also worked together before on "ABC, 1-2-3: Counting Rhymes, Alphabet Songs, Riddles and Tongue Twisters" for MGM Records in 1966). Listen to it once and you'll never forget it), and it's no real exaggeration to say that I nearly played "Guess What I Am?" 'til the grooves were bald. My family can all still sing the title track (which rather brilliantly spells out "H-A-LL-O-W-EE-N" to the tune of Saint-Saëns' "Dance Macabre" (or "Danse Macabre" if you prefer). Hands down this was my most played Halloween record as a little kid.
