Our round-up of the 10 scariest songs <\/p>
From ghosties, witches and barons on broomsticks to the more pungent flavours of disturbing, there\u2019s a scary song for everyone. Here is a selection of the scariest, to be enjoyed this Halloween and beyond\u2026<\/p>\n
Intended as a satirical dig at the Victorian obsession with the supernatural, Gilbert & Sullivan\u2019s 1887 opera tells of ghosts, witches\u2019 curses and the tiring business of having to commit a different crime every day. Among its most famous moments is Sir Roderic\u2019s Act II song \u2013 \u2018When the Night Wind Howls\u2019- whose music is as over the top as the lyrics: \u2018Fair phantom, come! The moon\u2019s awake, The owl hoots gaily from its brake, The blithesome bat\u2019s a-wing. Come, soar to yonder silent clouds; The ether teems with peopled shrouds: We\u2019ll fly the lightsome spectre crowds, Thou cloudy, clammy thing.\u2019<\/p>\n
