Yes, the Rosin Doctors (a band I'm in) worked up a few numbers for Halloween, though most were regular tunes we could make spooky, or characterish -- you know, work in things like Obladee Obladah, or The Liberty Bell, or Gone Fishin'... I've know band who have for years adapted The Adam's Family. In another band, we did the Munsters, and Spider Man. There a lot of great TV tunes out there. Don't forget Jay Ungar's Hoo Doo Hoedown. And I wrote a dance, Ghost of a Chance, for Halloween, with a story line of leaving your partner and only getting a "ghost of a chance" to dance together: *Ghost of a Chance* Becket A1 On Left Diagonal: Women Chain; Straight across: Half Hey, Women start, Right shoulder A2 Neighbor Balance & Swing, end facing in B1 Circle Left ¾; with Neighbor, California Twirl (to face Partner), Walk past Parnter, with Shadow, Allemande Left B2 PartnerSwing The timing from B1 to B2 is a little busy, but the partner swing is forgiving. If dancers are really adept, B2 could be a Partner Gypsy and Swing. If you want to make sure the timing is spot on(and you get even more of a ghost of a chance to dance with your partner) you could use the original version: B1 Circle Lft ¾; Balance the Ring, California Twirl, walk past Pt -- R Sh B2 Walk past Partner, Allemande Left Shadow, return to Partner and Swing ~erik hoffman oakland, ca On 8/9/2013 2:04 PM, Chip Hedler wrote:
