Although Ministry is more known as an industrial/metal sort of outfit, the group went through a synth phase in the mid-80s.
"(Every Day is) Halloween" is an underground dance floor anthem made for misfits.
The lyrics detail a rejection of those looking or acting differently from everyone else, “People seem to stop and stare they say/Why are you dressed like it’s Halloween/You look so absurd, you look so obscene.”
Highlights include heavy beats, samples galore and a bouncing bass line. I love the "bop beep bop bop" that weaves in and out among the verses before the glorious chorus “Why can’t I live a life for me?/Why should I take the abuse that’s served?”
An instrumental bridge featuring deep scratching is a darker take on Herbie Hancock's "Rock It".
