Southpark Thriller

A true Halloween classic. God rest MJ but Chef does a great version.

"I'm gonna make love
Even when I'm dead
My body might get cold
But it's always hot in my bed
Make Love
Don't you be afraid
Just because my heart ain't beating
It don't mean you won't get laid."

Game Show Music - Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour Theme Song (1983-1984)

Happy 35th Anniversary to the Match Game/Hollywood Square Hour. The show had Match Game in the first half hosted by the returning Gene Rayburn and Hollywood Squares in the second half hosted by Jon "Bowzer from Sha Na Na" Bauman with each host participating in the game they didn't host (Rayburn one of the celebrity squares on Hollywood Squares while Bauman was one of the stars the contestants had to match in Match Game). Lasting only a year, the show was the first not to feature Peter Marshall as host of Hollywood Squares and the final time Gene Rayburn hosted Match Game after hosting every version since 1962. The cool theme song would be used later as a tune on the Price Is Right.
