David Bowie’s Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) debuted in 1981 off of the Scary Monsters album. With awesome guitar riffs by King Crimson’s Robert Fripp along with great a great heavy handed beat, this is a classic Halloween song to groove. The song’s lyrics refer to a girl’s decent into madness. Bowie was a master class in mixing unique characters and costumes with his music in many styles.
Catch a live version of the song to hear the frantic pace of the musicians playing the jam. Having been used in the Playstation video game Grand Turismo to amazing “Fashion,” another great track off of the Scary Monsters album. Even appearing in the James Caan film Alien Nation. If you don’t have this one on your Halloween playlist, download it now so there’s no Scary regret later.
