[The Misfits Cover Song]

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember halloween
Dead Cats hanging from poles
Little Dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown Leafed Vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

Halloweeeeen
Halloweeeeen
Halloweeeeen
Halloween!

Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

    Well, it was a great Misfits song, and this cover is just a great tribute to the The Misfits and to them themselves.

    Yeah we went camping in the woods on halloween night 2001 and i played this and it was wel cool. we were all so fuking scared cuz we saw this guy drag this woman crying and screaming into this building, dunno if they were acting or not but it scared the hell outta us and we were all hiding behind trees for ages but nothin happened. sorry for telling my life story but this song really rocks, it just feels so ace to listen to, and the piano crashing bit is scary too on halloween but it goes on for too long i reckon. i love this song and the all hallows EP so much!!!! AFI RULES SO BADLY! so if you go halloween listen to this song and paint your face white like the crow or something and have fun. and have a fire ad lots of those little candles and stick them everywhere but dont put them on your head cuz then the wax drips down onto your head and gets stuck there, damn that was annoying, and my favourite mask got wrecked, and then my friend threw it on the fire BASTARD!! but i pulled it out somehow and it is nicely hanging on my ceiling above my stereo now. erhm for more of my life phone this number.....or talk to me on msn lol click on my name and get my email if you dare

    ARGH. Once again, you shouldn't have put this song under AFI. It's a fucking cover song. (A damn good one, might I add.) But nonetheless, it needs to go under The MISFITS. Otherwise you'll get all these little kids thinking, "Oooh I love the AFI song Halloween! It is like, Soo totally rad!" And that just wouldn't be right. Sorry if I come off as being mean, I'm just...eh. I dunno what I am. Bitter I guess. :)

    See, you could have at least added in the title that it was a COVER song that was originally done by the Misfits. But you failed to do so. That's why I'm angry. :: Shakes fist at you :: :p

    Yeah but most people who've heard it already know that anyway. But yeah ok, lets just do this right now, PEOPLE: THIS IS A COVER OF HALLOWEEN BY THE MISFITS. AFI DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG WHICH IS WHY THERE IS NO WORDS FOR IT IN THE BOOKLET. there we go, no more confusion

    great cover by AFI, sounds just as good-if not better than the original Misfits song (if it's possible to do a song of theirs better then them) a great tribute to the Misfits... AFI have outdone themselves once again

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
