Stunting ideas for Halloween

[amanuensis]

As I mentioned in the KNAK thread, there is so much recorded music that never gets airplay anymore. Thank goodness people are able to upload it to Youtube. Remember my half-serious post about how if I was in charge, I would have a station stunt by playing the REALLY old oldies? Songs that were recorded at least a hundred years ago?

While looking for Beach Boys stuff, Youtube recommended this anthology of spooky songs from the 1920s and 1930s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Mpipp-KgQ&t=228s

Another Halloween stunting idea that I posted about somewhere on this board a few years ago was for the station to play songs from their routine playlist (as opposed to, say, Monster Mash) that just happen to have spooky/gruesome lyrics if you were to take them literally. The DJs could create song sets with a common theme, such as "unusual hungers." Thinking about songs like Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes" or Bruce Springstein's "Hungry Heart".

During another song set of the stunting on Halloween Day, the theme could be "Your body is flammable." Songs could include Blue Oyster Cult's "Burning for You" and Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".

Maybe too much of a stretch but there are a lot of songs about soul. Heart and Soul? Soulman? All About Soul? A Little Bit of Soul?

If you want to go more indirect, there's Unchained Melody which was featured in Ghost.
