Same as Springcross- dem bones is the only one I can think of. I was also thinking of Dance Macabre but that's a classical piece.

This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson and I do recall Andrew Gold doing a kids song which was called something like Scary Spooky Skeletons or Spooky Scary ....

Hope DSpooky and his OH are well.

Loved Carry on Screaming and the bit where Fenella Fielding lies on the chaise long and asks the inspector 'Do you mind if I smoke?' and then vapours and smoke exude from her body! 🛋️💨👻

Hope you all had a spooktacular evening!My first thoughts started with the picture 1493 drawn by Michael Wolgemut.

Then it reminded me of secondary school Music and Movement 1971 when in a progressive moment our PE teacher had us prancing around to Danse Macabre by Saint Saen 1874.

But my favourite has to be Human Rag n bone Man 2016.

Thanks for joining in and being such a great BODY of people.

Keep well and safe. ☠️😈😱💀👻😈

Neonkittie17 profile image
Neonkittie17 in reply to Green230461

I used to do music and movement to Saint Saen too at my infant/junior school late 60s/1970 including Carnival of the Animals and Danse Macabre! 😁

Green230461 profile image
Green230461 in reply to Neonkittie17

Wish I could do the movement part now🥰

Neonkittie17 profile image
Neonkittie17 in reply to Green230461

I can a bit still but not like then!

MadBunny profile image
MadBunny in reply to Green230461

Oh my goodness- music and movement in the 60s! That brings back memories 🤗🐰

Green230461 profile image
Green230461 in reply to MadBunny

But are they good ones or cold in knickers and vests?

MadBunny profile image
MadBunny in reply to Green230461

Knickers and vests🙄Although thankfully it was indoors in the school hall . I remember the parquet wood floors and the smell of polish .It must have had some positive effect on me as I eventually became a drama teacher!

Green230461 profile image
Green230461 in reply to MadBunny

Same here! Did a drama degree and ended up as a primary teacher for 35 years 😂

MadBunny profile image
MadBunny in reply to Green230461

I started out training to do primary but ended up doing secondary- did 35 yrs too til RA put an end to it. Although I did manage to keep going for 5 yrs after diagnosis, I had to give in in the end 😁🐰
