Song of the Week: This is Halloween

It's not opera (not even remotely close), but I love this song. It's funny, weird, catchy, and it's about my favorite holiday. And Germany does October right, all chilly days, orange and gold and red leaves, general sense of eerieness, I'll even let slide the fact that they don't really celebrate Halloween here. It's quite all right; I've got my Halloween playlist, a couple classic films (Hocus Pocus, anyone?), cathedral candles and a stack of ghostly mysteries to read. In this apartment, it's All Halloween, All October.

And I'm much better from the flu, but it was a vicious little bug this year.
