Yes, believe it or not, I am choosing another proper song today; not a theme song or a novelty song, and that song is "Goodnight Moon" by Shivaree (not to be confused with the book of the same name by Margaret Wise Brown, or the YouTube ASMR channel). While I do actually have the album "I Oughtta Give You A Shot In The Head For Making Me Live In This Dump" that the album comes from, I , like probably a lot of people, first heard it as part of the soundtrack from the "Kill Bill" movies.
Tarantino films pretty consistently have solid soundtracks, don't they?
From the moody guitar to the lovely vocals, the song tells us to the story of a person who is either truly being menaced by evil forces or is just really, really afraid of being alone in the dark. Either way the song belongs on your Halloween playlist, regardless of what you are using it for.
It's kind of a shame the group was a bit of a one hit wonder, because that first album of theirs is good. I should look for some of their other ones; I am particularly interested in their cover album, "Tainted Love: Mating Calls and Fight Songs" because I really do like covers done in drastically different styles from the original.
Here is the original album version of the song:
