  4. * Polka Haunt Us Mentioned In Suburban Vampire!

    October 5, 2009 by Veronique Chevalier

    Below is the full post from Suburban Vampire

    Music Monday: Polka Haunt Us

    I was alerted to a highly unique take on Halloween music: the songs of Veronique Chevalier. According to her website, veroniquechevalier.com, “Veronique is known as The “Weird Val” of Dark Cabaret, for her hilarious parodies and side-splitting covers. (Imagine if Jim Morrison and Elvira had a twisted, Edith Piaf-like love child.)”

    Below is the video for her song “Vampire Surprise” from her Halloween compilation album, Polka Haunt Us.

    Journey below the video, and you can preview other Polka Haunt Us songs on an MP3 sampler.
