about

It's Halloween, so it seemed right to share my new music video for my kids song 'Spooky Groove'. The song however is now about anything spooky, but more about overcoming your fears.
Written with fellow songwriting sister Liv Cochrane, you can also check out my nifty wee clip, made from vintage Betty Boop video stock from the 30's. Find it here youtu.be/Fhli7gHlNHc

lyrics

Spooky Groove
A. van Riel & L. Cochrane

One night while I was walking down the hallway of my house
I heard a freaky creaking, I stood as quiet as a mouse
That freaky creak was super loud, it made me super scared
But when I froze that creaking disappeared.

It was a freaky creak
I heard that night
It gave me a terrible fright

The freaky creak was certainly gone
But then a thumpedy bump, it started banging on
That thumpedy bump, it didn’t help my fears
It was in my chest and in my ears

It was a freaky creak, a thumped bump
Them spooky noises made me shiver and jump
Oooo spooky noises I heard that night
They gave me a terrible fright

The thumpedy bump, it followed me
And here’s the part you won't believe
A knickedy knocking joined the show
It seemed to come from down below

A freaky creak, a thumpedy bump
A knickedy knock that made me shiver and jump
Oooo spooky noises I heard that night
They gave me a terrible fright

The knickedy knocking has just begun
When a chittery chatter it got my tongue
It was the kind of chitter-chatter-chomp that rattled my brain
Will I make it back to bed again?

A freaky creak, a thumpedy bump
A knickedy knock and chittery chomp
Oooo spooky noises I heard that night
They gave me a terrible fright

When I finally got the courage to move
I suddenly clicked, it was a spooky groove
That freaky-creaky-thumpdy-bumpdy-knickedy-chomp
A spooky groove to make you wriggle and jump

A freaky creak, a thumpedy bump
A knickedy knock that made me shiver and jump
Oooo spooky noises hey, you’re alright!
I found my spooky groove that night.
