Songfacts®:

  • The Fratellis are a Glasgow 3-piece that have embraced traditional Rock music. This song from their album pays homage to the early years of Rock. "I can't pretend not to be obsessed with just the simplicity of all of that," says their frontman Jon Fratelli. "It just continually hits me - any time I play an old record, whether it's something from Sun or something similar it seems like it would have been nice to have been around in such simple times. And 'Halloween Blues' is just a nod to that."
