about

When you search for top Halloween songs, you’ll probably get results like “Bad Moon Rising”, “Running With The Devil” and “Dragula”. All are classic songs, but weren’t written to be anthems for October 31st. The song we are about to talk about is so Halloween it has candy corn flowing through its veins.

“Love this poppy Halloween song by Mike Chick. No tricks here, only a treat of a song.”
Emily Bornemann (Dentist / Mulch)

What’s that? Ding! Dong! Fill My Plastic Pumpkin is a Halloween song that is destined to sit side by side in a cemetery with the Monster Mash. Just imagine if the song That Thing You Do! was an infectious holiday jam for a holiday that doesn't have enough jams to call its own. It’s like a box of Count Chocula or Frankenberry for your ears.

“It’s like Danzig era Misfits, but way more racked.”
Alex Rosen (Kqhyt Kqhyt, Hot Blood)

Ding! Dong! Fill My Plastic Pumpkin was written by Mint 400 Records recording artist Mike Chick. Chick sang and played all the instruments except for the drums, which were handled by Bill Bourke. Ding! Dong! Fill My Plastic Pumpkin was recorded at OCVTS and Waving Cat, both in New Jersey. The song was mixed and mastered by Pat Noon at eightsixteen recording. Artwork by Dr. Wolfenbergen.

“It’s been too long since I’ve been whisked away, back to a time of tramping around fruitful neighborhoods in sub-par costumes to fill my pillowcase with sugary treats. This song has whisked me. It has whisked me good and hard.”
Dave Hough (The Tide Bends)

So remember the dang rules of Halloween; have fun, be safe, stream Ding! Dong! Fill My Plastic Pumpkin and get yourself enough candy to last a year.

Ding! Dong! Someone’s at the door…

lyrics

Hey hey it’s that time again
To yell “trick or treat” at your neighbors and friends
So get your costume ready to show
Your friends are outside and waiting to go

It’s that time of the year again
It’s that time of the year again
It’s that time to sing…HEY HEY

Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
You know you gotta
Give me some candy
Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
That's the rules when its Halloween

I’m gonna fill my pumpkin to the top
And when I get home I’ll eat until I pop
A stomach ache won’t stop me there
Cause I got enough candy to last a year

It’s that time of the year again
It’s that time of the year again
It’s that time to sing…HEY HEY

Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
You know you gotta
Give me some candy
Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
That's the rules when its Halloween

Now put yr flashlight to yr chin…and say MUHHUHAHAHAHAHAHA
Now put yr flashlight to yr chin… and say EEEEEHEHEEHEEEEEEEEE
Now put yr flashlight to yr chin
And high five your new best friend
Now put yr flashlight to yr chin…and say Boo!

Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
You know you gotta
Give me some candy
Ding dong fill my plastic pumpkin
That's the rules when its Halloween
