Music Monday: A Different Danse Macabre

And now for something completely different... 
The inspiration for choosing this for our Music Monday this week is twofold: 
1. It's getting toward the end of summer, which means it is pre-spooky season for those of us who love a cold snap and a jump scare. I am firmly in the first camp, but the writer in me is constantly looking for spooky and paranormal things once it stops feeling like the surface of the sun outside.
2. This is definitely for my adopted brother Tony, who is ALL IN for scary, horror, etc. He talked me into watching Sinners, recently, which you will know from my previous Monday's post was life-changing for me as an author...
The lyrics are below because on my screen the captions were tiny and, sadly, auto-generated. I love you Duran Duran, and have for years, but for the love of all that is unholy and goes bump could you PLEASE caption your videos? Ta very much. Now, run along and get ready...Halloween is just (2 months and change) around the corner...


Danse Macabreby Duran Duran
Halloween girl seize the frayBrothers and sisters, lead the wayShackled to the rhythm, your soul is weighedSo you better get down on your knees and pray
Comin' up for The Hawsker Mad-BullJumpin' on the hot seat, lyin' in the dead poolDelivery quake, expensive mistakeThe damage, the damage, the damage, the damage
Hey, no waySome ghost jive in an AC CobraAuto-da-féGet dirty up on the Danse Macabre
Hey, no wayI had you down for the cat's pyjamasAuto-da-féGet dirty up on the Danse Macabre
If you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind diggin' down the gold mineIf you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind, if you don't mindIf you don't mind diggin' down the gold mine
Heaven sake, don't blow your karmaLiberate your Danse Macabre
Zombie in the back room, nuns in the bedKids in KISS makeup, toasting the breadAn Elvis' moans a lone Natty DreadWith death in the living room, offering a head
Are you watching? Are you watching?Collars and chains and cuffs are matchingKami-kaze stag-do, twist and shoutAt Sudan Archives on a girls' night out
Hey, no waySome ghost jive in an AC CobraAuto-da-féGet dirty up on the Danse Macabre
Hey, no wayI had you down for the cat's pyjamasAuto-da-féGet dirty up on the Danse Macabre
