Goblins Getting Down and Awesome Pagan Rituals: The (Halloween) Nooner!
Awesome Video Of The Day
Jan Terri's Get Down Goblin
On this most ghastly of holidays, I'm ghoulishly pleased to bring you the darkest, most macabre piece of music ever written. Darker than the Danse Macabre, darker than anything by Bauhaus, and possibly even darker than The Monster Mash. Fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen. I give you Jan Terri's Get Down Goblin.
You probably haven't heard of Jan Terri. A pill-popping limo driver by trade, Jan pursued a music career on the side, recording music and singing backup vocals in a Chicago bar band. She didn't make much headway for a while, but then she got her big break: opening for Marilyn Manson in the late 1990s.
That's about it.
Maybe JT Records never gave her the push she needed to really break through into the mainstream. Maybe the mainstream wasn't ready for her. Encouraging goblins to "get down"? That does really jibe well with Judeo-Christian values.
I'm not going to suggest a right-wing conspiracy, but I can't think of another reason why this woman's career never took off. This video has it all: Dracula, The Wolfman, candelabras, back-up dancers, a pipe organ, and perhaps most importantly, a middle-aged woman who isn't afraid to "get down" on Halloween. That has to be worth something, doesn't it?
DOESN'T IT?
