Strong Sad’s Scary Song
Based on a clip of the same name:
Sing out, Louise!
12 - Ghosts in Folk Music
Ballads and broadsides, sailors and skeletons, sisters and sampling, and… have you seen the ghost of John? We touch on some common themes and formats as well as academic approaches to analyzing and archiving folk tunes/lyrics. Come for the intertextuality, sociofunctionalism, politics, and anthropology—stay for the boos.
Been eager to get into the spirit of Halloween even though it’s still September so this song is pretty fitting! I would have loved to see some more nods to classic ghost stories in Danny Phantom with creepy lullabies/nursery rhymes like this. Yet another missed opportunity if you ask me!
👻Have you seen the Ghost of John?👻
Long white bones
And the flesh all g-o-n-e?
Ooooooooh!
Wouldn't it be chilly
With no skin o-n?
New babe up in my shop soon!!
(who else remembers this song? In a dark dark room anyone?)
“Wouldn’t it be chilly with no skin on?”👻
Big year for Ghost of John in my Spotify Wrapped
