Spooky Scary Skeletons is a song by American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, released in 1996 on his Halloween album. Its cheerful melody and skeleton lyrics made it a seasonal favourite long before the internet rediscovered it, and it later spread through YouTube remixes, animated skeleton dances and TikTok edits that paired the tune with goofy horror visuals. Because the song is catchy, instantly recognisable and never genuinely scary, it remains a go-to Halloween sound for memes and short videos every October.
