Welcome, dear listener, to the Spooky Songs podcast, your home to all manner of beats that go bump in the night. Join us as we scare up the stories behind some of the spookiest songs ever recorded. And now here are your hosts, Levi Bushu and Edgar Dieterman.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the Spooky Songs podcast, home to all the beats that go bump in the night. We're your camp counselors, Edgar Dieterman and Levi Bushu. Oh hey, dear campers, and we are here to discuss songs about horror and hauntings, murder and the macabre, as well as music that you can play while you mask her a whole bunch of teens in the woods.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's right. We got just a spooky season jackpot now, didn't we? By having a Friday the 13th right, smack dab in the middle of October? Huh, Didn't we now?
Speaker 2:Are you a camp counselor or are you doing a Jewish impression? I'm kind of confused here.
Speaker 3:I can't stop the voice. Thank you for shaking me out of it. All right, but yes, we have. We have each chosen three songs that feature my personal favorite slasher, jason Friggin Voorhees. Yes, so let's get on our, let's get on our short shorts here, campers, and pack our cars full of beer and drugs. And well, how about some condoms for our big old campfire singalong at Crystal Lake? Does that sound fun, gang?
Speaker 2:or lack of condoms.
Speaker 3:Let's all have a bunch of illegitimate babies, huh campers, doesn't matter, no one's going home alive. There's a blood curse. All right, go ahead and tell us your first pick.
Speaker 2:My first pick is a fun punk band that I chose, not because the song is based on Jason, but the band is the Jason's. These guys like to dress up as different Jason's with different masks, while writing some hilarious songs like I don't want to masturbate to you, but I do, and I don't want to be a Mongoloid. The song I chose for you all today is Mark's Legs Don't Work by the Jason's ["Motorcycle Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"].
Speaker 5:["motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"].
Speaker 3:["motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle Accident"]. ["motorcycle.
Speaker 6:Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"], ["motorcycle Accident"] ["Motorcycle Accident"].
Speaker 2:Okay, before we get into this song, mentioning the burlap sack just makes me think of that scene from Jango Unchained where they're bitching about not seeing out the eye holes. Is that why he had to hunt a disabled kid and he literally needed a handicap? I can't see in this goddamn mask. Thanks, jonah Hill. Okay, sorry, sorry, back to it.
Speaker 3:No, just back to it. Are you asking, are you saying that Jason Voorhees is a member of the KKK? Because that explains literally everything that happens. And Jason takes Manhattan. My mind is fucking reeling right now.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's what I'm saying. Maybe that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Is that what we're saying? I'm just saying Alright, okay, I gotta get back to the Figure that out. Now we can go back to it, yes, but yeah, spooky Rock bands from Columbus Ohio, like they just know how to make a catchy as hell rock song Like Emmy Lazarus and the Recently Deceased are one of the best groups. That is just in a town that is more horror music bands per capita than anywhere else in the world and they've got like in Byte. They've got Doomsdale High. They've got fucking everybody Like good for them.
Speaker 2:Well, we've talked about this before. Nothing much gets you out of Ohio except being weird or an interesting musician.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I'm pretty sure they just round you up and just send you to Columbus, the Canada of the Midwest.
Speaker 2:Except they're Marys and addicted to horrors and crack like Justin Trudeau. Like what?
Speaker 3:is with your. Why are you like in KKK, like cable news mode right now? I have no idea what you're talking about, okay, but yeah, it's, I'm trying to keep it together here. I mean, just the way that this band was able to take Jason and portray him as a sympathetic little boy that misses his mommy is just One part of the testament of how great this band is. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but go ahead and go on with your next song.
Speaker 2:Alice Cooper. Do I really need to say much more? Of course, a crazy, awesome, scary dude has a song about Jason, besides being a fantastic 80s rock song with some very stereotypical 80s rock parts, and it's a couple good spots to do that and it fits so damn well. So you better watch out, because here is he's Back. The man Behind the Mask by Alice Cooper.
Speaker 5:Deeper in the woods. You think you're doing alright. Did you hear that voice? Did you see that face? Or was it just a dream? This can't be real. That may happen. He's real. I'm the one who is who. Oh, but he's back. He's the man behind the mask and he's out of control. He's back, the man behind the mask, and crawl out of his home. You're swimming with your girl out of Lovers Lake and the wind blows cold. It chills your bones, but you're still on the make. That's a bad mistake, oh, but the moon was full and you had a chance to be all alone. But you're not alone. This is your last dance and your last romance. Yeah, because he's back. He's the man behind the mask.
Speaker 3:Hell yes, I saw Alice live for the first time last year and he always brings out someone dressed as Jason to hack and slash his way through a bunch of volunteers that come in from the audience, and just everything about this track is an absolute production. I love this song so much. It's part of why we chose to do this episode. It's just because we had to play this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was one of the ones you first brought up and I really enjoy this song. But the only thing that kills me is when people rhyme a word with itself, like you see him come in, get away, because he keeps coming, like that's just lazy.
Speaker 3:What the fuck are you talking about? Did we listen to the same song, like? I know what you're doing. I know exactly you're getting this confused, you guys. You got man behind the mask mixed up with Smash Mouth like oh, the kills start coming and they don't stop coming.
Speaker 2:When you see Jason coming, you better start running.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is the weirdest thing we've ever done. I don't even care what else you got to say, because I know it's going to be unhinged. I'm just going to put a stop to it and we're going to move the show along.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you just go to your next one.
Speaker 3:Okay, this next song makes me super happy because it's all about someone watching my personal favorite Friday the 13th movie and getting really, really disturbed by it at a young age. This is A New Beginning by Wolfie's Just Fine.
Speaker 7:The first time I saw you was on the screen at Sebastian's house. Back then you were so much older than me, but now you're a child. Oh, I was wondering why you got naked. When that boy started kissing you, I was disgusted, yet oddly excited. The feeling was completely new. It made you laugh. When he kissed your breast, I didn't get the joke. He got up a few moments later and left you all alone. As you lay there in the forest, I picture myself lying right next to you. You fell asleep. Someone approached I think it was your friend returning to you Come to chase him come to chase him.
Speaker 7:Come to chase him. You didn't have any time to move. We sat and watched as he murdered you. I thought it was safe. We wanted to play. Oh, brother, we should leave now. We were led astray. The pastor would say oh, your sins shall find you out.
Speaker 4:The first time I saw you was on the screen at Sebastian's house.
Speaker 2:I was so shocked.
Speaker 3:I was so shocked. I thought are we doing a song here, the FATUSY football show? I had no idea that was him before I introduced this to you.
Speaker 2:This is such a strange departure for John LeJoy because his stuff is usually so crazy and chaotic and funny and makes no sense.
Speaker 3:That emotional range he is showing is really surprising. I remember when I saw Jason goes to hell when I was a kid. I was probably the same age as John LeJoy was when he saw the new beginning. There's a scene where couples have sex in a tent, ladies have big old tits, and then you see Jason Machete come right between them and go up. I thought I was going to get in trouble for watching that. I'm pretty sure there's still a few wires in my brain that are crossed Because of seeing that at such a young age, but I never thought I was going to go to hell for it. This guy did that's got to fuck you up.
Speaker 2:Speaking of Friday the 13th, trauma my last pick introduced anxiety to me. As a child, my cousin Steffi and I would be sitting on the floor at my aunt's, running around not knowing what the hell we were supposed to be doing on this damn NES game Exploring caves running around a lake, hoping we didn't run into Jason, just hearing the cabin music as you turned around and crossing your fingers that you didn't see him as the screen changed. Fuck this game. This is a 16-bit remix of the cabin music from the NES game of Friday the 13th.
Speaker 3:Thanks for watching oh cool. Yeah, thanks for bringing back one of the most painful memories from my childhood. That's, that's great.
Speaker 2:I didn't even say anything about your parents divorce, calm down.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm it. This like this unbeatable, fucking misery fest of a video game, like this music made me freak the fuck out every time I heard it, because it always meant certain death. Like I love this cleaned up 16-bit version. Like it definitely doesn't hit your ear as hard as that Nintendo one did. And also, but hey, like for our followers here. If you follow us on Instagram, you might get a chance to see me, because I'm going to be wearing that Trauma inducing any ex Jason costume because I hate myself. So, yeah, if getting to hear a new spooky song every day of the week wasn't enough for you, maybe, maybe that'll earn us a follow. Follow us on Instagram at spooky songs. We're great.
Speaker 2:I just imagine you spooking yourself when you walk by a mirror.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Like half drunk Mirrors were a thing as a kid too. Okay, like I Remember that poltergeist one where they like takes the girl up the mirror and like that. Are you afraid of the dark episode where someone comes out of a mirror? You know I had to keep mirrors like bloody Mary, like the bloody Mary gag. I'd like to keep like my mirrors opened as like an infinity mirror. That way if bloody Mary came out she would get trapped in an infinity loop. It wouldn't be able to come out and get me and Speaking of this being a fun NES game.
Speaker 2:I know LGN games are always a not synonymous anonymous, synonymous with shitty games, but you pointed out it's pretty good music.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so Because I was thinking about like all those, like other games that they made, like, do you remember that they had a couple of good spider-man games like spider-man? The X-men had great music. Yep, I'm carnage, maximum carnage had fucking green jelly do the soundtrack.
Speaker 2:That was they didn't Adams family. And a back to the future game that I like fondly remember music from from yeah, NES. I believe they did a faster quest, which is what I was thinking of. Terrible game, great, terrible game. Awesome looks sometimes too great music, dog shit games, yeah fuck those guys.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all right, give us that game. Fuck those guys. All right. We've done a lot of talking about Jason Voorhees, but let's not forget his mom. All right, let's not forget Pam Voorhees got this whole Mama-jama started off thanks to her completely unhinged Killer body at the end of the original Friday the 13th. I know my impression is not good. We don't have to keep going back to that, but it's only fitting that we play this song by a band that we haven't heard from since our Christmas episode. This is kill her mommy by rat-bat spider. But I'd say you know you want to we're at that fighter.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's so fun. I, I oh. Yeah, this song fucking thrashes like. It goes on every single workout playlist that I have and it just never disappoints. I love this song.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking of you doing Pilates to this and it makes me really happy. I.
Speaker 3:Only do hardcore weight training. Yeah, I got my own gym so I can do it naked my best fighter.
Speaker 2:This is a fun as hell song and I still absolutely love the name of this band, way better than my high school band shark, panther, kingaroo, oh.
Speaker 3:Is that your your tribute band for the the ghost of Steve Irwin? Is that what that is?
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, you're getting pretty low. How dare you sir?
Speaker 3:Listen, I want to do this too. Can I make one? I'm gonna. I'm gonna make a haunted bluegrass album and I'm gonna call my band a possible score by Koon.
Speaker 2:Now, now, who is ripping off who here? That's what I want to know mine's gonna be better than yours.
Speaker 3:But I gotta think like what's going on. This song is like the musical manifestation of what's going on and Poor sweet Pamela Vorheg said vor he's for it, vor he's. Or he's only said it a million times today. But yeah, but I guess she's killing all those kids like. She seems like such a nice woman but in her head it's always just this is kill her mommy, kill her mommy. Oh, just all day, every day.
Speaker 2:Well, to find more and have a Mother's Day episode just for poor sweet Pamela Vorheg's.
Speaker 3:It's, it's what my mom wants. She doesn't want anything nice. She doesn't want flowers. She wants me to do another one of my stupid podcast episodes. Yeah, perfect, she's our only fan. It's, we should be nice. Don't talk about my mom's only fans.
Speaker 2:We, you, we, you, we you. This is a new release alert.
Speaker 3:Hey guess what your, your boyfriends came out with new music. You want to talk about them.
Speaker 2:Oh Boy, you know we love Lovecraft. Here's movie songs and they just released an entire damn album, like three days ago, titled V. Here's my Five V. I'm gonna call itV. Here is my current favorite. That has a weirdly whimsical do-wop sound to it. Here is never be alone by Lovecraft Inside Fire, je Fucking Do. Intro, part 2.
Speaker 7:Little To Little Heart. You know I die For you. I'm a million times. I watch you sleep so peacefully. I'm born in all your dreams. I'm a bump bump in the basement. You want my love. Love, I'm leaving traces, but don't you worry, honey, you'll never be alone. Hey baby, can you hear me cry, thinking about you every day? Never be alone.
Speaker 3:Never be, never be alone. I've been hiding underneath your bed for like forever, hanging on by your bed to be together. Whoever you're cool for, you're acting too cool. Tell me, what do I have to do? Okay, I'm gonna see this guy opening up for Ludo in a few weeks and I am so damn happy that he has a new spooky song to unveil at the show. Here is MC Lars singing about Jason Vorhees weird Texas cousin. This is his song, leatherface.
Speaker 10:Leatherface, a killer they fear. But what they don't know is that I hold back tears. Leatherface, a monster they fear. But no one knows the truth. My dear, I love you with all my heart and soul, but now you're gone and I've lost control. My heart is in pieces cause you left me here. Now I'm trapped in a life of fear.
Speaker 8:He looked so afraid I hit him with the hammer. His girl was trespassing. Whatever happened to manners? She saw all the bodies started bugging and she panicked, got no choice, had to cut her with a Stanley all dramatic, just like the cattle in my freezer. Well, I hung around the hook, but I only felt more desperate with every life I took. Let them bleed. They can't tease me, they can't renegotiate. Perfect faces turned to pulp in this abattoir of fate. I still think about my momma, how we chase those fireflies on those quiet, starlet evenings. I still catch one every time, like an angel in the yard grilling Texas barbecue pulled pork up on my plate. Mom, I cook them just like you. And on the day she died I knew I'd never be the same. I was raised by those demons and my sanity, they claim. Now they call me Leatherface because I wear their skin, but it doesn't kill the pain that's still hiding deep within.
Speaker 10:I'm growing up in a twisted family my love for you was my only family Took you away and they left me all alone. Now I'm a monster with no way home. My twisted family waves turned me so sad, but you were my light in the dark. Art, your love was my only source of heart. And now I'm a monster, a killer for the cowards. I'm Leatherface, a killer they fear. But what they don't know is that I hold back tears. Leatherman Face, the monster they fear, but no one knows the truth.
Speaker 2:My dear, Coming from our buddy Nicholas Burgess, who we love to cheerlead for, is a new song that sounds like he's running a daycare, for. Just about every horror icon you can think of here is Creepies straight from the sultry voice of Nicholas Burgess.
Speaker 3:Jesus Christ, I didn't think about this as like a Muppet Baby's version of that's what it sounds like. Monsters yes, let's play it.
Speaker 5:I swear I'm gonna lose my mind, cause it's breaking my heart that they never leave. I miss my little Creepies. We can't be apart and I cannot believe how I miss my little Creepies. Jesus Christ, I didn't think about this as like a Muppet Baby's version of. I swear I'm gonna lose my mind Cause it's breaking my heart that they never leave. I miss my little Creepies. I'm a monster, a killer they fear, but what they don't know is that I hold back tears. So don't go. You know that I can't be alone. I'm not ready. I gotta pray because it's breaking my heart that they never leave. I miss my little Creepies. We can't be apart and I cannot believe how I miss my little Creepies, cause it's breaking my heart that they never leave. I miss my little Creepies. I miss my little Creepies. I miss my little Creepies. I miss my little Creepies, I miss my little Creepies.
Speaker 4:I miss my little Creepies.
Speaker 3:That's exactly what Sarea does with this slow and super sexy version of Black Magic Woman. So you know, get ready to get. You know, purple teeth wine, mom drunk sways going Cause this is a good one. Here's Black Magic Woman, ooooo.

She's trying to make the devil out of me. Oh, don't turn your back on me, baby. Don't turn your back on me, baby, don't turn your back on me, baby.
