My Halloween Song On NPR today: "Women Whose Halloween Costume is Just That They're Slutty--That's Not a Costume at All"
I was again the guest op-ed troubador on NPR's The Bryant Park Project. Here's the NPR link and song: "Women whose Halloween Costume is Just that They're Slutty--Well, That's Not a Costume at All"
Here's the lyrics--remember I only had one day to write the song. But I meant every word of it. Oh, also check out my pal Eban who brought in his Theremin:
Halloween was my favorite holiday but in these last few years
Something so terrible has filled me with fear.
It's not the razor in the apple; no I heard that never happened
No, it's something much worse
It's women whose Halloween costume is just that they're slutty
That's not a costume at all. What happened to Witches and monsters?
They left the Halloween Ball
Just putting kitten ears on your head is not creative.
A skimpy black dress is not very scary--unless you're Ann Coulter
Stiletto heels are not that special unless worn by a man
I'm not a prude, but I'm not a fan....of
Women whose Halloween costume is just that they're slutty
That's not a costume at all. What happened to Witches and monsters?
They left the Halloween Ball
Okay, maybe if you play a dead prostitute from say Jack the ripper days or maybe a zombie whore from outer space. But the naughty devil outfit in lingerie? Well, that's...just not good.
In first grade I was Joe Namath, quarterback for the NY Jets
Bad or good?
(Big fan, like the song... very "Sunrise/Sunset"...)
Oh - and hard to go wrong as Joe Namath.

I made werewolf costumes for my sons when they were little. I thought I was very creative when I ripped T-shirts and sewed furry fabric to peek through the slits. I even made them wolf ears to wear on their heads Then a kid at their school turned to them and said, "What are you? Care Bears?" We were all crushed. So much for scary.
