Like I had said in the announcement for July's song, summer time makes it hard to get anything done. This month, there were only two songs. I hope that we can pick things up soon and get back on track with a few more each month. As a reminder, the songs were in the genre of Children's Music and on the subject of Horror. Have a listen and vote for your favorite below!
Brian Salapek - Captain Howdy's Our Friend
My comments: My song was based on the movie The Exorcist. Early in the film, Regan talks to the demon through a Ouija board and refers to it as Captain Howdy. That name is just so damn cute that I knew I had something that fit with the horror as well as the children's theme. The song isn't screaming "children's song" but as a simple, catchy pop song, it's about as close as I could do.
René Zansman - Monsterbear
My comments: This time, Rene really nailed the genre with his song. The cutesy piano and the vocal melody following it is absolutely perfect for a children's song. The horror of his song is a teddy bear that is a whole slew of monsters. Rene had said that this song may be his weirdest yet. I have to agree, but I like weird. The horrible conclusion of the song reveals the teddy bear's true motive: to cut off his toes.
i love hearing your songs, keep em coming.
