Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue — October 2023

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue takes on a theme topical to October this month. First, for “Something Old,” it’s the Halloween classic “Monster Mash” from Bobby Pickett. Then, for “Something New,” it’s Olivia Rodrigo‘s “Vampire,” which topped Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart just a few weeks ago. For “Something Borrowed,” Dexys Midnight Runners built their 1985 song “One of Those Things” from Warren Zevon‘s “Werewolves of London.” Finally, for “Something Blue,” it’s Blue Öyster Cult‘s “The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein’s Castle at Weisseria.”
