This version actually is spooky, not silly I love it. She brings the images out properly. The headless horseman being disliked, and angry and wanting your head or anyone's head...is scary really. + the fact you can't be a ghost if you're not a little crazed makes all spooks scary. Love it. I guess if you think about it if someone can't cross over they may go a little mad. Morticia
Now, gather 'round while I elucidate On what goes on when it gets late 'Long about midnight, the ghosts and banshees Get together for their jamboree There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes Some have fangs about this size Some short and fat, some tall and thin And some don't even bother to wear their skin I'm a-tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight Just to see what goes on in the night When the spooks have a midnight jamboree They break it up with a fiendish glee Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land Holdin' his noggin right in his hand Demons take one look and groan And hit the road for parts unknown And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned They just don't like him, and he's really burned He swears to the longest day he's dead Well, I'll show them that he can get ahead So close all the windows (lock all the doors) Unless you're careful, he'll get yours Don't think he'll hesitate a bit 'Cause he'll flip your top if it'll fit He likes them little, he likes them big Part in the middle, or wear a wig Black or white or even red The Headless Horseman needs a head With a hip-hip-hip and a clippity-clop While he's out lookin' for a head to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan 'Cause you can't reason with a headless man With a hip-hip-hop and a clippity-clop Look out! Ahh! We know what we're talking about, believe me You better watch your queues But take a look At the people who ignored the old good book Change your ways, you'll find it safe 'Cause you can't be a haint If you ain't Kinda crazed, I guess you'd say Take our word, we know what we're talking about Now this is a... pretty spooky thing we're doing here You don't mind if I turn on another light Do you? Hmm?
This version is undeanibly superior of the Bing Crosby's version; warns about the scares that will get the people that ignores the 'old good Book' ( the Bible), talks about 'change your ways' and finally she herself gets the creeps, wanting to get more light in the scenario.

Not to mention she straight tells you not to try anything because you can’t reason with him
Now, gather 'round while I elucidate
On what goes on when it gets late
'Long about midnight, the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their jamboree
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
Some have fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
I'm a-tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight
Just to see what goes on in the night
When the spooks have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with a fiendish glee
Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst
When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land
Holdin' his noggin right in his hand
Demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown
And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They just don't like him, and he's really burned
He swears to the longest day he's dead
Well, I'll show them that he can get ahead
So close all the windows (lock all the doors)
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll flip your top if it'll fit
He likes them little, he likes them big
Part in the middle, or wear a wig
Black or white or even red
The Headless Horseman needs a head
With a hip-hip-hip and a clippity-clop
While he's out lookin' for a head to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan
'Cause you can't reason with a headless man
With a hip-hip-hop and a clippity-clop
Look out! Ahh!
We know what we're talking about, believe me
You better watch your queues
But take a look
At the people who ignored the old good book
Change your ways, you'll find it safe
'Cause you can't be a haint
If you ain't
Kinda crazed, I guess you'd say
Take our word, we know what we're talking about
Now this is a... pretty spooky thing we're doing here
You don't mind if I turn on another light
Do you? Hmm?
Kay has soul & a big heart voice & knows how to use it
joe ok I could not agree more... Marvellous one.
Ghosts are bad, the headless horseman - he's the worst!
2:49 that scream scared me!
Now that its Autumn, I love to watch all the Halloween Betty Boop Cartoons - this was perfect :)
RIP Kay Starr
Thank you for this video because you just reminded me of one of the most famous cartoon characters Betty boo
The ending made me laugh too.
When the hole in the wall that he
made ran out the door I thought
that was clever of the writers.

Live on, Kay.
Who else noticed it was brought to us by the NRA?
"National Recovery Administration" during the depression.
