Monday Coffee Break: Halloween Pt. 3, "Blood" Songs

Posted at 8:47 AM on October 31, 2011 by Steve Seel (42 Comments)
Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

It's Day 3 of our Halloween Weekend extravaganza today for the 9:30 Coffee Break (Thursday was "costumes", Friday was "things that go bump in the night"), and today we're going with blood. So: what are some songs that mention blood or bleeding in the title or prominently in the lyrics? (Note: we've already played "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 and "D.O.A." by Bloodrock today - but we're sure you'll still have tons to pick from).

Songs played:
Eels "Fresh Blood'
The National "Bloodbuzz Ohio"
The Pixies "I Bleed"
Ken Nordine "Crimson"
Rain Machine "Give Blood"
The Smithereens "Blood and Roses"
