Spooky Motown

[rovereab]

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]

The Spinners - "Heebie Jeebies".

[Ngroove]

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"...

Mr Boogie - [[70s) Supremes
