Lorne ,'Time Bomb'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
What Jilli said - there's a lot of cool gothy rockabilly (often called Psychobilly, influenced heavily by The Cramps).
But even original rockabilly had stuff with a dark, ominous vibe, most famously Jody Reynold's "Fire of Love."
I did a whole tape of stuff like that titled The Ghost of Eddie Cochran.
Jilli!!!! I *love* "Goodnight, Demon Slayer"!!!!!

He wrote it for his son. It's a wonderful song, and I memorized all the words so I can sing it at my godson the next time he's around.
I also need to send a copy of it to Hec and Deena, so they can play it for their munchkins.
I think I need to play it every night before I go to bed, as I've taken to sleeping with the light on lately, due to an unspecified feeling of dread, and recurring dreams about people breaking into my apartment.

Then you most certainly should play it every night before bedtime. Seriously. I think it would be perfect.
I've been sleeping with my baseball bat next to me, instead of under the bed. And I have NO idea where the Unspecified Dread came from.

Huh. I *just* started sleeping with a hammer on my nightstand. Been living alone for three years and the Unspecified Dread just kind of hit me too.
That's weird.

Bad juju. Perhaps the moon has gone into foo.
It's the world situation.
And to be semi-topical (because it's a line from a Sophie Ellis-Bextor song), when you're feeling kind of mixed-up, just remember it's a mixed-up world.

Probably more useful than a fanged stuffed bunny sleeping on your head. Sure, he's going to rule the world one day, but not a terribly useful weapon.
Huh. I've been having an attack of Unspecified Dread myself, lately. How odd.
