Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

Everybody (Backstreet's Back)

Here's an enormously guilty pleasure from my adolescence.  I want to assure you, this was the only Backstreet Boys song I ever liked, and this only because the video is monster movie themed.  It is kind of catchy, though . . .  And very Halloween-appropriate.

I Put A Spell On You

For the past two years, I've put together a little ukulele cover of a classic Halloween song for the amusement of my friends and family.  I'm no great musician, but I have fun learning a new song, and my dad always obliges me by cutting together a little video.  So without further ado, here's a ukulele cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You."
