Dead Man’s Party, by Oingo Boingo, is a song that plays with the idea about the afterlife. What happens when you die? Nobody knows for sure, and this song assumes that being dead is fun. According to them, people are dancing around and enjoying themselves in the afterlife, rather than being sad about it. The theme around death had made this song a staple in any Halloween playlist.
My favorite lyrics:
It’s a dead man’s party/Who could ask for more/Everybody’s comin’, leave your body at the door
