Name That Tune, #21!

Here we go again!

You know how it goes: there are twenty song clips below, from twenty different songs, from twenty different artists. Name the song and the artist.

The theme, according to MikeJ who put this together, is: "Kind of a Halloween theme, but monster mash is not one of the twenty."


Rules

  1. You get 1 point if you name the song.
  2. You get 1 point if you name the artist.
  3. Therefore, you get two points if you name both.
  4. Leave your answers in comments.
  5. If you've never commented here before, you'll be in moderation until I free you. Don't worry, I'll get to it.
  6. Your answers will be hidden from everyone but MikeJ.
  7. The contest ends on Monday, October 24th Tuesday, October 25th, 12:00pm 8:00AM my time - east coast US. I'll reveal the comments, and the answers, and total up the points, then.
  8. Perhaps MikeJ will provide hints... ?
