BATTY INDUCTEE NUMBER 28

THIS NEXT SONG IS FROM ONE OF MY TOP 10 OR 20 ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME.  It's by one of my favourite rock groups of all-time.  And it's spooky, too!  Fittingly for the 28th inductee into my Batty Halloween Hall of Fame . . .

DIRTY CREATURE by SPLIT ENZ

Great video (which should be available to watch on youtube) for a great song from a classic album:  "TIME AND TIDE" from 1982.  Here we have a scary underwater creature lurking beneath the waters of "a big black lake".  Shades of "THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON"!  But not only that.  Around the same time period in the early-80's there was ANOTHER song about a creature lurking beneath the waters of a dark, Scottish loch which also became a hit song:  The Police's "SYNCHRONICITY II".  And I love both songs.  But the Enz surely get pride of place here in the Hall of Fame this time.  Listen to this song (and all the others) over on the box to the right.
