the theme for halloween was based on a Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians song, A Man With A Lightbulb Head.
Lyrics
Attack of the Light Bulb Headed Men
I sat there
Watching annoying over sexed pop videos
That I go on and on about how they blow
Yet secretly envy
When suddenly
Air sirens sound
Blaring
Out the door I went
To investigate this cause of this ruckus
To my surprise
Light bulb headed men
Flying halogen floodlight planes
Over the hill came
Swarms of fluorescent tube tanks
Neon imbued soldiers came marching in time
Goose-stepping million jillion watted heads
The colors of light were blinding
I yelled out
WHERE IS A LEAD PIPE WHEN YOU NEED IT!
CURSE THE GARBAGE MAN
WHO STOLE MY LAST ONE!
Rocks couldn’t be found
BLAST YOU LIGHTBULB HEADED MEN!
You planned this ahead of time didn’t you?
You knew to rid the world of lead pipes and rocks!
Scurried around for a baseball bat
Ah there u are Mr. Louisville slugger
Just what the doctor ordered!
COME AND TASTE MY ASH!
And I began swinging at them
But my bat only bounced off
They must be super light bulb headed men!
Thinking hard…
Where’s a gun when u need it!
Where’s Charlton Heston
With his A Gun In Every home?
Found Gramps old revolver.
EAT LEAD YOU BASTARDS!!
The shots ricocheted
The incandescent men marched on unphased.
Then what did I see on their metallic backs?
Light switches!
Those fools!
Flip it and down went the invader
Out like a light
Come on every one!
Flick the switches!
The townspeople ran out
And down went the interlopers
The planes were a bit more trouble
With their pull chains
And the tanks turned off with just a clap.
All said and done
The light bulb headed men laid out
and the attack over
the world went back to normalcy
but we all looked at our lights
with caution from now on
because you never know
when the light bulb headed men will return
