This is a song by ICP's Violent J. He recorded this song in October 2001. Due to the September 11th attack that year, he heard that some towns were gonna cancel Halloween. Being his favorite holiday, he wouldn't stand for this. He made this song to show that Halloween was meant to be fun, and it should not be canceled. ICP sent this song to many radio stations across America, telling them the meaning and asking them to play it, so Halloween wouldn't be canceled. It got moderate radio play and it did actually persuade some people to stop the idea of canceling Halloween that year. Being Halloween time now, I decided to share the song with you all.

I paint my face every year all day
The 31st ain't nothing to me, another holiday
All of a sudden face paintings in style
And I've been doing ever since Gillagin's Island was on
But try to live it all year though
Try picking up a chick when your painted up like a weirdo
I'm 68 years old I still trick or treat
You think I care? I'm trying to find something to eat
And tell your old ladies to keep your pennies
If it ain't above a quarter, don't even bother
I'm sick of these little kids too
I know you did it
Put a brick in your bag and hit me in the head with it
And then they take my candy and diss
"Look what I got from the fat guy painted like Kiss!"
All year I'm a psycho, uh huh, I see
But every Halloween, you wanna be me!
Every Halloween
They want to be me
Every Halloween
They want to be me
A gorilla, a puffer fish and a bag lady
All made love and had a little baby
And supposedly I'm the one
But at this point that's only purely speculation
On Halloween people smile at me
The rest of the year, they dial the police
They kick me off there lawn and shoot me off there cars
But on Halloween there giving me candy bars
Trick or treat it's 5:30 in the morning
I'm still out... I'm standing on your lawn
And I'm looking through your window...tap tap
I see a gummy bear on the table, you gonna eat that?
My paint don't come off, and if it did
You think I'm scary now?
I look like Frankenstein that's been slapped with ugly
Yet children hug me on Halloween
Every Halloween
They want to be me
Every Halloween
They want to be me
3 6 4 people hate my guts
On Halloween though, they wanna ... [The rest of the line can't be said. due to fitting the G-rating]
They dress up as monsters, freaks, and clowns
And pass jelly bears, goobers, and suckers around
The next day when I try to trick or treat
It's "Get off the porch or I'll call the cops you freak"
I don't understand you people but that's ok
I'll see you all next time you try to be Violent J
Every Halloween
They want to be me
(Well I don't care)
Every Halloween
They want to be me
(Well I don't care)
Every Halloween
They want to be me
(Well I don't care)
Every Halloween
They want to be me
(Well I don't care)
