Welcome to the Haunted House

Track 1: The Haunted House Artist: Franky Windmills (Intro - Sound of a creaking heavy wooden door, howling wind, a dripping faucet, and a slow, spooky music box playing. Suddenly, a heavy, thumping lo-fi reggae-hiphop beat drops with a deep, booming bassline) "Yeah... welcome to the manor... Franky Windmills... Don't mind the ghost in the kitchen..." [Verse 1 - Understated, sleepy talk-singing over a steady, lagging hip-hop beat] I bought a cheap house at the end of the street Real estate agent said the vibe couldn't be beat Didn't mention that the hallway creeps at night Or the floorboards groan when I turn off the light Got a phantom in the pantry eating all my bread A polite little skeleton hanging over my bed He doesn't want my soul, he just wants to chat And borrows my socks without asking where they're at! I tried to call an exorcist to clear out the room He took one look around and joined the ghost with a broom! [Chorus - Floating, spooky chorus with spacey tape-delay reverb and layered lazy vocals] Welcome to the haunted house, floating through the wall Dusty little cobwebs hanging in the hall Ghosts in the attic playing dub on the bass Spooky little shadows all over the place Yeah, everybody's spooked, but we're hanging around Best haunted house on this side of the town! [Verse 2 - Cool, nonchalant delivery over heavy dub bass and echoing rimshots] There’s a ghost named Gary living under the stairs Always rearranging all the living room chairs He turns the TV on at three in the morning Plays reggae music without any warning I asked him for the rent, he gave me a sigh Faded into thin air and blew smoke in my eye! The refrigerator's floating two feet off the floor And a mummy keeps knocking on the front porch door It's a monster mash, but we're keeping it chill If the ghosts don't get you, the electricity bill will! [Melodica & Organ Solo - An eerie, dazy melodica and vintage organ duel playing a creepy circus tune over a heavy sub-bass and dusty vinyl crackle beat] [Bridge - Music strips back to just a deep bassline, soft drum tap, creaking doors, and whispered vocals] Watch your step... Don't look back... Was that a ghost... Or a shadow in the crack? (Loud cartoon ghost sound: BOOOO! followed by a lazy chuckle) "Relax Gary, you almost made me drop my tea." [Chorus - Full band explodes back in with maximum lo-fi warmth and rich vocal layers] Welcome to the haunted house, floating through the wall Dusty little cobwebs hanging in the hall Ghosts in the attic playing dub on the bass Spooky little shadows all over the place Yeah, everybody's spooked, but we're hanging around Best haunted house on this side of the town! [Outro - Slow dub fade out with echoing melodica, creepy organ chords, vinyl noise, and creaking doors] Haunted house... Gary, turn the light off... Franky Windmills... Out! (Fade to silence with the sound of a heavy door shutting firmly: SLAM!)
