    Default Spooky / Scary Eagles songs

    I know it's a bit late in the day, but I thought for Halloween, we could do a "spooky/scary Eagles playlist"! Solo stuff can be included.

    I'll start with an obvious one:

    Somebody
    ("there's a jack-o-lantern moon in the midnight sky"). Plus who wouldn't find getting stalked by a vengeful killer scary?

    So let's think of spooky Eagles songs and add 'em to our playlist by posting them in this thread!

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    Dipping into the solo catalogs....

    Flip City (Glenn Frey)

    It's written for the Ghostbusters II soundtrack and the whole thing is scary, but especially this verse:

    I can feel the spirits now
    Moving underground
    I can feel them closing in
    About to drag me down


    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    I know the song is a joke, but I've always felt that "Teenage jail" is kind of spooky; including Glenn's keyboard solo!

    Yeah, I can see how that has a spooky sound!

    One that I put on my personal Halloween playlist was

    The Garden of Allah (Don Henley)

    That's another one that I find pretty scary, especially when Don starts talking in his "devil voice."

    I don't know if this counts...Timothy didn't actually sing it but he helped write it and sing background. It's actually Jimmy Buffett.

    Desperation Samba (Halloween In Tijuana)

    The title alone should clue you in but love some of the lines and verses.

    "Skeletons are dancing"

    "Don't know where I'm going
    Don't know where I've been
    There may be no exit
    But hell I'm going in"

    "Halloween in Tijuana
    Full moon in my eyes
    I wonder how the hell I got here
    without a disguise"
    He sings it high, he plays it low

    I figured Hotel California would be the first one mentioned here. The whole freakin' song is "spooky".

    I always thought One Of These Nights had a few spooky lines.

    The full moon is calling
    The fever is high
    and the wicked wind whispers and moans

    You've got your demons
    you've got desires.....

    I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself....

    Later

    Coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you, get you baby....

    It gets so dark and lonely..
