Halloween Songs

Have you ever really heard a Halloween song sung by some other singer that wasn’t the original person? Why is it that every singer practically in the world releases a Christmas CD sometime during their career of the same songs everybody else sings but they don’t remake any Halloween songs?

My answer to these questions would be that the remade songs would not live up to the original one. Unlike majority of Christmas songs that a lot of the voices sound the same, Halloween songs have distinctness to them. Take for example “The Monster Mash” song by Bobby Pickett, his voice is too deep and creepy that it would be hard for someone to recreate the song and still have the same effect. The song has a one of a kind aspect to it unlike most Christmas songs.
Then there are the songs that have the effect of why would any singer in there right mind think about touching it or remaking it into their own version. When I think about this the first Halloween song that comes to my mind would be “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. First of all nobody should remake a Michael Jackson song because like I stated before in the “Monster Mash” he also has a distinct voice. I think if someone were to sing Thriller and try to make a profit out of it, they would be looked down upon and probably make very little money off of it.
I think Halloween songs are to classic to be remade and have a positive effect to them. When you think of Halloween songs you think Thriller, Ghost Busters or Monster Mash but when you think of Christmas songs there are tons of them and different versions of them like making them fast or slow. Many Halloween songs were made around the 1980’s era while singers are still coming up with new Christmas songs every year.

Maybe if people would have remade Halloween songs when they came out they would be played more often on the radio like Christmas songs. Now it’s too late to do it without some sort of negative effect. I think it’s a good idea that singers don’t remake them because they would lose their Halloween special feeling to them like majority of Christmas songs these days have.
