Our Halloween countdown continues in 1937 with another theme song - the brooding "Nightmare" by Artie Shaw!
The more familiar version of the song was recorded by Artie for Bluebird in 1938, but here's his original recording, made for Brunswick while he was stilled billed as Art Shaw:
I find this version creepier, which I think is because of the louder drumbeat, like something sinister is marching toward you!
Artie Shaw was an interesting individual and was just not going to have a typical band theme song!
