There is not nearly enough Halloween songs in existence. I can only name a few Halloween songs-Monster Mash, This Is Halloween, and Thriller by Michael Jackson-which is a stretch anyway, because it is not technically a Halloween song. There are not enough Halloween songs to fill an album.
Why does Christmas get to have all rights to the holiday music? There are countless Christmas songs and Christmas albums. There are classic Christmas albums, celebrity Christmas albums, and Christmas song compilation albums. There are stations dedicated to playing non-stop Christmas music for months.
Even Valentine's Day as a good number of songs, because basically every song is a love song. So why does Halloween have to get the short end of the stick? Who decided that Halloween does not get to have any fun and spooky holidays songs?
This is an outrage, and more people need to be as concerned as I am. We need to make progress in the business of Halloween holiday songs. We can start small, with maybe a few new Halloween-themed songs, and hopefully progress into full-blown celebrity Halloween albums. I want Halloween songs to have their own category on iTunes.
So, help me start advocating for this issue. Let's sign petitions. Let's reach out to our favorite celebrities on Twitter. Let's write a letter to the president. We need more Halloween songs!
