The Lyrics
I'm sure most folks are familiar with the Dexy's Midnight Runners version of the OS...which, of course, is the original...but if you try to pace this against that version, I think you might have some problems. If anyone's dying to listen to the Save Ferris cover, let me know, and I'll email it to you. =)
It's Hall-O-ween
It's Hall-O-ween
It's my fav'rite day
Do two solid months of cardio
To make up for a feast so mondo
Of Baby Ruths
And Tootsie Rolls, I love them!
I'm grown
A grown up!
So grown
But so what?
I will not give up, no never
On Hall-O-ween
Milk Duds, Kit-Kats, Starburst, Charms Blow Pops
Swear it's just the best day ever
On Halloween
I dress up for can-dy
Cle-o-patra
An E-GYP-tian Queen
Seek to impress
In a fake wedding dress
Lookin' purty
Oh on Halloween!
It's Hall-O-ween
As a pioneer
I wear a dis-guise
Go to friend-ly places
'Cause I want some Reeses Pieces
Milk-y Way
Or Goobers
A sweet But-
-ter Finger
The more fun size treats the better
Bazooka!
Skittles, Twizzlers, Snickers, Hershey Bar
I'll celebrate this day forever
Fun Dip, Push Pop, Rolo, Bubble Tape
I'll celebrate this day forever!
Oh Halloween,
You might think it's obscene
How I pound those Tic Tacs, Wintergreen
Skip my dentist's place
Gives apples, what a waste
That's blas-FEE-mous
Oh on Halloween
On Halloween
Eat 'til bursting the seams
For a Skor Bar, I'll wear ANYTHING
Wish Hall-O-ween was ev'ry day
Love Hall-O-ween in ev'ry way
There's nuh-thing that I won't do
Ha-a-al-lo-ween
Oh I love Halloween
I love Halloween
Its inventor, oh so clever
Although slightly deranged
For some Laughy Taffy, dress like Daffy? Yea!
On Halloween
Oh, no boundries for me
For this one day, there's nothing that I won't be
For can-dy
Hall-O-ween
I've been everything
It's Hall-O-ween
It's my fav'rite day
Do two solid months of cardio
To make up for a feast so mondo
Of Baby Ruths
And Tootsie Rolls, I love them!
I'm grown
A grown up!
So grown
But so what?
I will not give up, no never
On Hall-O-ween
Milk Duds, Kit-Kats, Starburst, Charms Blow Pops
Swear it's just the best day ever
On Halloween
I dress up for can-dy
Cle-o-patra
An E-GYP-tian Queen
Seek to impress
In a fake wedding dress
Lookin' purty
Oh on Halloween!

Phat and Phun! Love the OS. 555 :-)
Looked up this version on their myspace page...how cute! Not as cute as this parody, though...555
I've had the pleasure of hearing their cover long ago, and good to hear it again against your new version. This has got to be the ultimate Halloween anthem now, even surpassing The Shagg's "It's Halloween"!
It's my favorite holiday too!!! I wanted to do a parody about Halloween for this event, but couldn't think of a good idea for it. You however came up with a classic idea, and listed off an impressive list of treats. Oh and as for dentists... I feel sorry for their kids.
Rick...=) Thanks very much!
Kristof...hee! Thank you!
Agrimorfee...glad to know someone who's familiar with the Save Ferris cover. Do you know a lot of SF stuff? I REALLY wanted to parody "Spam" for this contest...but I found that I honestly couldn't improve on their lyrics. Anyway...enough rambling...thanks!
Matthias...okay, it might have been a little bit of a lie...Christmas is my favorite holiday. =) But...I do love a good costume, and I do love some good candy...so Halloween is up there on my list, as well! Thanks!

I only know the original of the original (iow, NOT the version you parodied), but I found a copy of the cover version on Youtube, so I listened to that and was able to follow along quite well. While I still prefer the original better, I enjoyed your parody so I will vote 5/5/5.
(Dec 2.0) Wow, Halloween must be huge over in America - here we just get themed TV specials and sales. Another brilliant work from Arwen!
(dec2.5) wow, I didn't know there was a cover to Come On Eileen, which I hate, but their version is MUCH better - inspired idea, Arwen, and a classic lollie roll-call, or candy-call I suppose you'd say over there - gotta keep those poor dentists in business, I say - great parody - 555
DEC- Mmmm free candy.. I got a stomach ache just reading this. But it's still very sweet and well done, Arwen.
:-) Yes, I do only know the Dexy's version, but I could work out where all the bits go. What are "goobers", btw? Sounds like something that comes out of your nose...
(DEC 2.5) See above; I'm surprised I enjoyed this so much, considering I'm from a country that doesn't celebrate Halloween....tch!
Loved tat version of the OS and this parody
(DEC2) OH MY GOD I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS OS!!!!! I miss this song so much, and the parody reminds me of my youth and how much I looked forward to Halloween. . .wow what a parody of memories. . .Amazing job Arwen, absolutely FANTASTIC
Somehow, I simply figured you would beat up Apricot and steal his candy on Halloween...instead of going to all the effort to actually trick-or-treat. I imagine you'd have more fun beating up Apricot too :)
Sadly I don't know this version...but I love it anyway. I also love Halloween and I love you. Hell, I even love Apricot.
