5th-“Superstition” - Stevie WonderOn one of his signature songs, Stevie Wonder pleads with his listeners to ignore talk of broken mirrors and walking under ladders. “Superstition ain't the way,” he preaches in this 1972 song, but there’s something about that funk that still sounds almost… spooky.Very superstitious, writing's on the wall, Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past. When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way Very superstitious, wash your face and hands, Rid me of the problem, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong, You don't wanna save me, sad is my song. When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh. Very superstitious, nothin' more to say, Very superstitious, the devil's on his way, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass, Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no. 6th-“Werewolves of London" - Warren ZevonA perfect Halloween entry from the (late, great) Warren Zevon, who also famously sang "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," is this howling Me Generation rocker that rose to No. 21 on the Hot 100 in 1978.I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein Werewolves of London If you hear him howling around your kitchen door Better not let him in Little old lady got mutilated late last night Werewolves of London again Werewolves of London He's the hairy handed gent who ran amuck in Kent Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair Better stay away from him He'll rip your lungs out, Jim I'd like to meet his tailor Werewolves of London Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen Doing the werewolves of London I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen Doing the werewolves of London I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's His hair was perfect Werewolves of London again Draw blood 7th-“Deal With the Devil” - Pop EvilHere’s a recent entry to the list -- Pop Evil’s chugging, hard rock single “Deal With the Devil.” Coming from the band’s 2013 set Onyx, it topped Mainstream Rock Songs and peaked at No. 20 in Rock Airplay.I can't get away with murder I am bound to take it further I took the pills, I've been consumed I drank the water, I had to choose I'm still here with a fire burning, burning inside If you want to burn, light it up, light up, let it rise When you're high who ya flying for When you ride who ya riding for When you toast who ya drinking for When you play, gotta deal with the devil Gotta deal with the devil Gotta deal with the devil Gotta deal with the devil I have found comfort in someone Now I'm bound, empty and hollow I took the pills, I've been consumed I drank the water, I had to choose I'm still here with a fire burning, burning inside If you want to burn, light it up, light up, let it rise When you're high who ya flying for |
