Spooky Motown

**rovereab** · 03-16-2015, 02:28 PM

On the way home from work my iPod in shuffle mode played There's A Ghost In My House and My Baby Must Be A Magician. This got me thinking about creating a "Spooky Motown" playlist. I've come up with the following songs but seek your help for others as it won't be much of a playlist as it stands [[perhaps it's not a good idea)

There's A Ghost In My House
My Baby Must Be A Magician
7 Rooms Of Gloom

Thanks.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Tempts version of "Smiling Faces". That one sounds like something out of a horror flick.

**mysterysinger** · 03-19-2015, 11:37 AM

The Spinners - "Heebie Jeebies".

**Ngroove** · 03-19-2015, 02:09 PM

Temptations - Runaway Child, Running Wild

I suppose, on first listens, "Love Machine" and Melvin Franklin on "Give It To Me Baby" can be pretty unsettlingly "spooky"...
