Backstreet Boys : Everybody (Rock your Body)Backstreet Boys : Everybody (Rock your Body)


You heard me right. The Backstreet Boys. In honor of our viewers that loved them, and poor Wicked who never seemed to catch on to pop-culture figures, there are lots of feels on the pop groups, and much debate as to whether they were truly the end of human culture as we knew it. Although it turned out that it could get MUCH worse, more vacuous, and more insane, we will forget that a moment and move to a simpler time, when boybands ruled the earth, following the path laid out by a group of strange English Girls called Spice.

Grudgingly, this is the ONE song by the boys  Wicked could get into, for obvious reasons (Red Velvet, Masked ball? CREATURES OF THE NIGHT?).  Don’t worry precious darlings, it was just a one night stand, she went back to hating them shortly after. This video has just the perfect amount of so very, very wrong that its right. AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!


Pet Cemetery : The Ramones

I make no excuses, the Ramones rule, you know it, I know it, its simply a fact of life. This marvelous ditty is about a Pet Cemetery, and that is all you really need to know!

Bela Lugosi’s Dead : Bauhaus

I included this, not only because it is about Bela Lugosi, whom I love, but in the perpetual self-penance we are paying this year for never having properly been in love with Peter Murphy. He has been taken for granted in our lives far too much, despite the fact that Bauhaus as always been one of Wicked’s favorite bands. HOW DID SHE NOT KNOW that he was so lovely? How did she not know what a shiny beautiful star he was? Lets enjoy this penance she suffers, with Peter Murphy rolling around in a cage, with beautiful fluffy hair, moaning in that gorgeous Timbre… Undead… Also, this is from The Hunger soundtrack, which still stands as one of the best Vampire movies of all time. See it, if you haven’t folks. 

Please, Mr. Gravedigger : David Bowie

Aww, Mr. Bowie. Love love, love love… love. I extra love this typography do-up of a wonderful almost spoken-word style piece. I believe it’s a marvelous must-have. 

Brains  : Voltaire

Your Auntie Wicked is no great hipster-of-things. She will not claim to have known of Voltaire from the start, no, she instead fell in love with his songs off the the Project Gothic compliation albums when she was aquainting herself with ‘Modern Goth’ that was modern ages ago. She also hahappens to love love ‘The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy’,(if only because it proves little blond girls in pink dresses can be as evil as Wednesday Addams). So when you combine the power of two rabid loves, you get Brains. Written By Voltaire, for the show Billy & Mandy. Here is the whole clip, if you are impatient, the song begins around 1.22. 


And We made a Halloween playist of these songs
