BATTY INDUCTEE NUMBER 29

IT'S VOODOO ZOMBIE FUN TIME!  That's right, boils and ghouls!  Step right up to hear from the spooky showman of song who seems to specialize in music about the macabre.  My 29th inductee into the Batty Halloween Hall of Fame is . . .

JUMBEE by PAUL ROLAND

There are, (super)naturally a lot of songs which could've made it into the hall of fame because Paul Roland sings such an awful lot of songs about murderers and monsters.  However, this song has got to be my favourite of his catalog because it's the spookiest-sounding of them.  The slow, plodding sound of the music sounds to me like the slow, plodding zombies working in the fields at night.  Super-evocative and I can picture the scene in my mind's eye!
