music for Halloween

I have a truly ideal Halloween song for you. I came across this a few months ago and have been saving it up.

It's from Big Daddy, a group whose schtick is to take songs of a more recent vintage and play them in the style of a late 50s/early 60s rock-&-roll band. Often they merge the victim, er tune, incongruously with a specific song of the earlier era. The best of these was taking "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and combining it with "Duke of Earl."

This time, they have "The Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera, and have subsumed it under a bizarre match with the unforgettable novelty song "Monster Mash." What's more, there's a spooky video, in which the Phantom, with some assistance from Dracula, serenades an oblivious Bride of Frankenstein. Enjoy!
