Misfits - Spook City U.S.A.


  Yesterday's song was by a band I knew nothing about and who were just getting going, today's song is by a band who everyone's heard of whom have been around in one incarnation or another since 1977. Not much of an introduction is needed for The Misfits, formed in Lodi, New Jersey, named after the Marilyn Monroe movie,  various vocalists (including Glenn Danzig, Michale Graves and Jerry Only), splitting up and reforming, an impressive back catalogue (my favourite of their albums being Static Age).......

  Originally recorded in 1979 but not released until it appeared on 1996's Misfits Box Set ( a different version featured on the b side of the 1981 Who Killed Marilyn single) and featuring Bobby Steele on guitar, this is Spook City USA.....

Spook City USA, Spook City USA

See all the ghosts as you drive past graveyards (Spook City USA)
Deathly souls in American graveyards (Spook City USA)
Here is where I'll die for sure 
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

See-through spectres cruise your hallways (Spook City USA)
Poltergeists in the middle of the roadway (Spook City USA)

Here is where I'll die for sure 
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

Haunted house on the highway roadside (Spook City USA)
It extends an eerie invitation (Spook City USA)

Here is where I'll die for sure
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

Spook City USA
