TRACK #161:
Trick or Treat (For Halloween) by Al Hoffman, Jerry Livingston and Mack David
Though Siouxsie Sioux’s song starts this block off rather nicely, let’s fully embrace the Trick or Treat vibe with this tune from Disney’s classic 1952 short Trick or Treat starring Donald Duck.
Full of great vintage Halloween imagery, the short features Huey, Dewey and Louie approaching their uncle’s house for a bit of Trick or Treat. But Donald’s an asshole and he promptly puts fireworks in their bags. His own Nephews? What a prick.
No matter, as the boys soon find a Witch and now the trick’s on Donald as she conjures a potion which transforms just about everything into a nightmarish object to torment Donald.
Based around this typically Disney-styled tune, the short is a great October viewing for any fans of either Disney or the season.
Twick ow Tweat!
