    I have never heard that song and I've been around this old world for 60+ years. But it was very good and a little chilling to hear. My favorite holiday is Halloween and this year I'm not able to decorate because I'll be moving. So thanks for a great video to keep me in the spooky mood. Love your vocals as always. Beautifully done. 💀🥶👻☠🍁🕷

    • @TheHoundTheFox
      @TheHoundTheFox  Рік тому +5

      So our theory… we’ll need to do a video about this to get a poll soon… is that in the 90s a bunch of choirs had their kids singing this in elementary school. So random but it seems to be the trend! Even though it’s a really old song.
      Thanks for watching! We hope your move goes smoothly and that spookiness surrounds you even without your decorations 👻😂🖤

    I'm so glad this song is getting some love! Always a favorite sung in elementary school in a round. I once read it might be an old English folk song. Anyone who's interested can also check out Kristen Lawrence's 2005 versions; she wrote 4 more verses, which are awesome. I prefer the "bare bones" version myself. It's still one of my fave haunting melodies for Halloween!

    When I heard this come up on Pandora while my buddies and I were driving on a dark and stormy night (I swear, clichéd though it is, that’s true) I had a flashback to being a little kid.
    I was probably 5 or 6, sitting on my grandpa’s lap as we carved a pumpkin, and he was singing this song, teaching it to me.
    I had forgotten that memory completely as well as this song until I heard your version.
    So, yeah, thanks.

    I know this one! I sung this in a school choir once during Halloween, specifically "Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?"
    I remember being scared of that one song warm-up song that we often paired it with.
    it went like
    "Habt ihr gehört von dem Mord im Schloss?" (Have you heard of the castle murder?)
    "Wo das Blut in Strömen die Treppe runter floss" (Where the blood went down stairs in floods)
    Der Kopf ist ab, der Kopf ist ab, der. Kopf. ist. AB! *KRGH* (The head is off, the head is off, the. Head. Is. OFF! KRGH! [immitating bones breaking])
    Me and my sis didn't like that one because we both have a very vivid fantasy and couldn't help but picture it in our heads.
    So whenever they sung it, we got to leave the room so we wouldn't cry, students either tried to cheer us up by saying "The head is a pumpkin! The blood is just juice!" and then there those who sung it from the top of their lungs when Halloween came around.
