[CANDY'S MIDNIGHT TAKEOVER] (The Halloween Mega-Medley) [INTRO — 4 BARS, GHOST CHOIR, VINYL CRACKLE] [CANDY — SMOKY, SPOKEN IN RHYTHM] Flask in the case! Freak show on Everclear! Candy in place! No mask on her face! Midnight lets the goblins choose... [DJ SCRATCH] You ready? Then MOVE! [HOOK — CANDY, HUGE MELODIC CHANT] MONSTERS WANT CANDY! (SHE'S GOT PLENTY!) HIPS KEEP SHAKING! (THE GRAVEYARD'S EMPTY!) No room to stand, so we dance where we land! One snap of my fingers—the dead join the band! MONSTERS WANT CANDY! SHE'S GOT PLENTY! THE GRAVEYARD'S EMPTY! [VERSE 1 — CANDY, FAST INTERNAL RHYMES] Stir the pot, make it hot, got the cauldron bubbling, Double-double trouble, hear the bassline rumbling. Do blonde witches have more fun? Honey, here it comes— We don't find the fun, WE BECOME IT when it drums! I've been on the hunt—white sands or powder, Whisper in the wind, then the thunder gets louder. Going somewhere in tonight's attire? Cape drops, heels click, sparks fly higher! Can Can Candy, high-kick, spin in the light, All this glitter has a bruise, but I'm dancing tonight. Walk into my web, watch the silk threads shine, Spiders and tarantulas in a twisted conga line. Make solid jam sandwiches? Two or three! [CANDY — QUICK LAUGH] Make mine three! Touch me in stereo, left to the right, Now the whole haunted house goes LIVE tonight! [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR SWELL, TEMPO CONSTANT] Come for the glitter, stay for the sound, Every little nightmare's getting off the ground! Count it in—one, two, three, four— KICK THAT CRYPT DOOR OFF THE FLOOR! [HOOK — CANDY, HARMONIZED] MONSTERS WANT CANDY! (SHE'S GOT PLENTY!) HIPS KEEP SHAKING! (THE GRAVEYARD'S EMPTY!) No room to stand, so we dance where we land! One snap of my fingers—the dead join the band! [VERSE 2 — CANDY, EXPLOSIVE DOUBLE-TIME] Monsters wish, monsters dream, Everybody wants a chance, Look all you want— CAN'T BUY THIS DANCE! Raise the dead, darling, let the cemetery rave, We were never invited—now we're dancing on the grave! Mummy's getting loose, yelling, "Unwrap me, baby!" Bandages flying, he's a three-thousand-year-old maybe! Wolf with a moonwalk, Bride with a spin, Headless rider can't decide where to tuck his chin! Stitched-up Nick is furious: "Whose hand? Whose hips?" "I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR—" [LOUD RECORD SCRATCH] Skeleton's drumming and the Reaper's at the door, Invisible Man disappears but he's STILL on the floor! Dead on my feet, but the beat won't let me rest, Zombie army doing side-steps, dressed in their best! "The monsters have left the building!"—that's the claim; [RECORD REWIND] They came back screaming my name! [INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — 8 BARS] [STOMPING KICK, BRASS STABS, ORGAN, VIOLIN SCRAPE] [CANDY — FAST RHYTHMIC COMMANDS] Mummy, shuffle! Wolfman, slide! Bride, dip low! Zombies, side to side! Reaper, spin! And the goblins? FREEZE! [DRUM FILL] Everybody back on THREE! [BRIDGE — HAUNTING FEMALE CHOIR, CANDY MELODIC] All this glitter has a bruise, All these shadows have a story. We become the light they warned you about, And turn the midnight into glory! [FLOW SWITCH — CANDY RAP ACCELERATES, BPM REMAINS 136] Stir it, spin it, shake it, break it, Wake the ones they thought couldn't make it! No mask, no fear, no backing away— THE WHOLE GRAVEYARD CAME OUT TO PLAY! [FINAL HOOK — BIGGEST CHORUS, MELODIC LIFT] MONSTERS WANT CANDY! (SHE'S GOT PLENTY!) HIPS KEEP SHAKING! (THE GRAVEYARD'S EMPTY!) FROM STIR THE POT TO RAISE THE DEAD, GOT A HUNDRED MONSTER HOOKS IN MY HEAD! MONSTERS WANT CANDY! (SHE'S GOT PLENTY!) THE WHOLE WORLD'S DANCING— THE GRAVEYARD'S EMPTY! [FINAL RAP — FAST, HARD ACCENTS] Claws up! Fangs out! Shake that whole haunted house! Witches! Wolves! A skeleton crew! EVERY MONSTER'S COMING THROUGH! [OUTRO — RECORD CUT] [CANDY — SMILING, DEADPAN] Breaking news, darlings... Nobody's home. I took 'em dancing. [ONE GIANT SNARE CRACK — HARD STOP]
