Instant Crush (feat. Julian Casablancas) - Daft Punk

Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues (live) - Elvis

Night of the Sadist - Larry & The Blue Notes

The vinyl sleeve notes of the garage rock compilation “Back from the Grave” says:

‘A truly cryptic song about an evil soul who cuts in on a teen couple’s fun at the local lovers lane. These Fort Worth legends started off their recording careers in ‘63, but did not cut anything until ‘65, when they cut “Night Of The Sadist”. This was to be released on TIRIS, but their producer freaked out and had them overdub “Phantom”, cuz “Sadist” seemed a little too touchy for squares.’ 

Here’s the originally, without the overdub. A Halloween song for you.

By and by, the title of this series, Back From The Grave, inspired the Chromatics track of the same name.  

Be Thankful For What You Got - William DeVaughn (1974)
