Back on topic... The Bauhaus Concert Guide says the 1983 promo 7" is an edit of the 1981 live version that was on Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape (1982). It is not an edit of the 1979 studio version, although they do sound similar.

I don't have the 7" myself so can't confirm.

Hmmm, didn't recognize the artist or title after reading
your post, so I just checked it out over on YouTube.
Haven't heard it before, but it would definitely fit right
in w/ what I've been hearing at work these last few
weeks... :-)]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:59:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35709&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35709 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35707&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35707 Author: 80smusicfreak

Hey, I'm just the messenger, lol. Don't know about "I'm
Henry VIII, I Am", but I'll agree w/ MMathews re: "Send
Me an Angel", as that was pretty much my thought when you
originally posted the question a year ago...

Some from my "Halloween Mixtape" not already mentioned include: Dinner With Drac - Zacherle The Blob - Five Blobs Haunted House - Gene Simmons Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group Swamp Witch - Jim Stafford Devil Woman - Cliff Richard Ghost Town - Specials The Gory Story Of Duane & Debbie - Count Floyd Halloween - Helloween Dragula - Rob Zombie

"The Blob" has actually been included in the Halloween
package for several years now; I just wasn't familiar w/
it since I don't think I'd ever heard it before (being
from '58) - but I got a positive i.d. on it this time.
Remarkably, the ones by the Edgar Winter Group and Rob
Zombie weren't added till this year. Surprised I haven't
heard at least a couple others from your list yet...]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:46:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35707&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35707 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35706&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35706 Author: 80smusicfreak

Good pick, although it hasn't played yet. Even though I
don't think I ever heard it on the radio, I do remember
seeing the video a few times on MTV back in '84, and
thought it should've done better. I also thought it was
interesting how Reprise re-issued the song's parent album
in 1991 (albeit w/ a new title and different cover art),
and attempted to re-promote "Monster" all over again. In
fact, I recently picked up the '91 promo CD single for
"Monster" at a store not far from you (southern NH)...]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:33:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35706&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35706 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35704&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35704 Author: 80smusicfreak

Never was much of a Bauhaus fan, but have to admit, I do
really like his 1990 solo hit, "Cuts You Up"...]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:15:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35704&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35704 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35703&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35703 Author: 80smusicfreak

Yep, they're ba-a-a-ack! :-) This year's Halloween-themed
package has been playing at work during my shift for
about a month now, and it seems the folks who put it
together have done some rotating. Several songs that I
heard last year have been mysteriously absent so far this
year, but w/ many new ones taking their place -
including, yes, Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead"! I've heard
it only once so far, and while I didn't get a timing on
it, I doubt it was the full 9.5-minute version. I'll try
to pay more attention should I hear it again in the next
couple weeks...

I've been taking more notes, and here are another 30+
songs in chronological order, all but four or five of
which are new this year (and again, bold = top 40
hits, by Pat's standards):

1958 "The Blob" - THE FIVE BLOBS
1965 "Strychnine" - THE SONICS
1966 "Dark Shadows Theme" - ROBERT COBERT
1968 "Spooky" - CLASSICS IV
1968 "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" - THE JIMI HENDRIX
EXPERIENCE
1973 "Frankenstein" - EDGAR WINTER GROUP
1974 "Clap for the Wolfman" - THE GUESS WHO
1976 "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" - BLUE OYSTER CULT
1978 "Homicide" - 999
1979 "Bela Lugosi's Dead" - BAUHAUS
1979 "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" - JOHNNY CASH
1979 "Human Fly" - THE CRAMPS
1981 "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)" - THE
FUN BOY THREE
1982 "Grey Matter" - OINGO BOINGO
1983 "Hungry Like the Wolf" - DURAN DURAN
1983 "I Eat Cannibals" - TOTAL (TOTO) COELO
1984 "Bark at the Moon" - OZZY OSBOURNE
1984 "The Killing Moon" - ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN
1987 "Strange" - R.E.M.
1987 "Strangelove" - DEPECHE MODE
1988 "Am I Demon" - DANZIG
1988 "Peek-a-Boo" - SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES
1993 "X-Files Theme" - MARK SNOW
1995 "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" - U2
1998 "Dragula" - ROB ZOMBIE
1998 "No Costume, No Candy" - SWINGIN' NECKBREAKERS
2000 "What If" - CREED
2002 "Tainted Love" - MARILYN MANSON (sinister version of
1982 Soft Cell hit)
2003 "Tombstone, Baby" - PEACHES
2007 "Zombie" (Original Edit) - ANDREW SPENCER AND THE
VAMPROCKERZ (dance version of 1994 Cranberries hit)
2008 "Disturbia" - RIHANNA
2009 "Teeth" - LADY GAGA
2011 "Wolves" - THE GOOD NATURED

Once again, quite a lot of obscure/forgotten tunes, w/ an
emphasis on new wave/alternative (like Bauhaus), as far
as the previously-unheard stuff goes. They've added some
more recent tunes, too, including the Glee Cast's cover
of MJ's "Thriller", which I didn't even bother adding to
the list above; the ones by Swingin' Neckbreakers,
Peaches, and The Good Natured I know I'd never even heard
anywhere else before (same goes for that obscure '60s
tune by The Sonics)...

Have yet to hear Focus' 1973 hit, "Hocus Pocus", but
maybe that one just doesn't sound scary or "mysterious"
enough - much like the Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra"
(1982)???]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:11:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35703&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35703 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6465&PID=35692&title=offtopic-bauhaus-bela-lugosis-dead#35692 Author: MMathews

Yes! "back-to-back, belly-to-belly, don't give a damn
cuz i'm stone dead already!"

one of the morning shows in our area occasionally broke
out "Zombie Jambouree" at halloween, since Rockapella
were occasional guests on the show.   So 'round our
house, it was a halloween staple!

I love all the extra tunes folks find for their halloween
playlists.   And yes, the list can get really long with
ones you wouldn't think of til you here them in that
light.

Oh, for Paul: re: "What do "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" and
"Send Me An Angel" have to do with Halloween???"

I think because Henry VIII and Angels were once popular
halloween costumes. that's what i figure anyway.
