Thank you!  Actually you were of help :)   I just listened  to some clips of 
it online and it seems to be the right song.  It starts  off with some creepy 
music and has some evil laughing in it, so it definitely  fits the Halloween 
theme.
 
By the way, in case anyone missed it last year, there was a song  called "Do 
They Know It's Halloween?" by the North American Halloween Prevention  
Initiative. It's sort of a Band Aid type affair, with contributions by Beck,  David 
Cross, Devendra Barnhart, Elvira, Roky Erickson, alongsind members of  Arcade 
Fire, The Postal Service, Redd Kross, Sloan, Rilo Kiley, Sparks, Yeah  Yeah 
Yeahs and many more..  Check it out at vicerecordings.com/halloween/ 
 
We'll be playing it on the show...
