Angie may have been crazy, but she had a special talent, gift. Once she got the lovers into her room she trapped them in her radio forever and they became hers
For my money, Helen Reddy had one of the loveliest and most distinctive voices in 70s pop. But she was also very almost anti-glam - certainly when NOT on stage, she eschewed pretty much everything that typically came with stardom.
This was, without a doubt, the creepiest song. How can a girl who can mysteriously transport people into her radio not be creepy? I had never considered Riders on the Storm to be a creepy song, and I grew up listening to it. I considered it to be moody and mysterious. But I can see now how it can be creepy.
Omg this song i heard countless fimes in background ( with its tv show strings effects) and in fifty years never paid attention fo the story! Wow it blows my mind Helen was talking about this. Luv this channel for not only the cool revisits but also how she grooves just like we did back in the day. Music is timeless turn on
Angie loved the people that sang on the radio. That was all she ever wanted to do is listen to the radio. She found her love through song. Kind of like Karen Carpenters Superstar.
It was supposed to be inspired by The Exorcist. Alan O'Day, who wrote this song, also wrote Rock and Roll Heaven, which was a hit for the Righteous Brothers.
You should do "Devil Woman," by Cliff Richard. "Witchy Woman," by the Eagles. Those would be good Halloween songs. Yes, it's no longer Halloween, but I'll throw them out there anyway. 10-:
FUN FACT Angela: For the Guilty Pleasures songs you reacted to my request Undercover Angel by Alan O'Day (generally considered a one hit wonder from 1977 ?). ALAN O'DAY was a renowned songwriter for many artists before and after that hit of his, and he wrote this song, ANGIE BABY, for Helen Reddy in 1973-74. I say not creepy, just a girl with possible mental illness issues, living in a fantasy world😊
Angela !! What a surprise ! Didn't think anyone (or many) remembered this. SO coool. Now to listen to the song with y'all. Okay, after listening to the song again and your comments, Riders is by far the better song, but it's creepiness stems from everyday happenings. I think the girl who sucked the neighbor boy into her private little world (forever?) creepier.
*Angela* Actually,She`s a Slightly Insane Wiccan....Remember: She Did not KILL HIM....He got changed by the music..So he got Magically Changed by the Magic radio,now he is trapped and enslaved... So NO,he is`nt dead...Just changed!
Halloween songs? The Awakening / Cold Ethel -Alice Cooper (Welcome to my Nightmare album) and Billion Dollar Baby (album same name); Momma Frog - Ambrosia; The Tell Tale Heart - Alan Parsons Project; Don't Fear the Reaper / Burning for you / Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult; Ghost Riders in the Sky - The Outlaws; (maybe) Mad Man Across the Water - Elton John; The End - The Doors; Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds; Dead Man - Neil Young...
I wish I had caught this ahead of time so I could recommend that you listen to Alice Cooper's "Cold Ethyl" so as to get your creep on for Halloween. It's definitely a twisted song
Hi Angela, great song and much creepier than Riders on the Storm, how can a song about a 'strange' girl with some sort of power who traps lovers, including the neighbour in her radio, to use as she pleases not be creepy?
I remember when this song first came out and there was some discussion if a HS Girl named Angie was suppose to be a witch, possessing magic powers. The writer Alan O Day said he initially made Angie to be a "mentally slow" girl, but then decided its was easier to just have her "crazy"
I think Helen Reddy had seven number-one hits in a row, big time run of hits. I suppose You and Me Against The World or I Don't Know How to Love Him are favorites
You forgot to react to Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett. That song is a tradition In our family since we were children. Great Halloween song. HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY ANGELA. MUCH LOVE.😍❤💋❣
That's a V E R Y shallow pool you're likely fishing from...do some homework and get back to us. Thriller was a lot of hype & the new video/MTV craze, lyrically, nothing to it. Vincent Price is what makes it cool. 📚
I wish that I had recommended “Dead Man’s Party” by Oingo Boingo to you, but it didn’t occur to me until just now. That’s been my go-to Halloween song since I first heard it in 1986. I’m pretty sure you’ll like it, too. Happy Halloween!
She is from Australia, and this is one of her many hits, but it's not creepy! It is a great tune, but not frightening! Your Patrons and or Subs should have requested you play the theme from Halloween 1978 and the theme from The Exorcist 1973! Duh!
Yeah, most of the recommendations for this Halloween poll were based on dark themes in the lyrics, rather than the creepily atmospheric music it seems you were hoping for. At least the Doors song fit the bill. Better luck next year! 🎃🦇
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time Hmm, not so much to my ear. But it's all subjective. Here's an (instrumental) example of what I consider to be a musically creepy song (it's a bit long, but be patient - it does gradually change and build tension): ruclips.net/video/Qwe1nbYO3og/видео.html
Angie Baby, scary? Give me a break, I posted a couple of days ago, Alice Cooper- Dead Babies, oh well, it's true, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. By the way, offing one person does not a serial killer make.
Sorry, but this is an absurd song for Halloween. Should have been Alice Cooper's "I Love the Dead" or Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath". Another good one might have been Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy".
“Angie Baby” scared the shit out of me as a small child.
What a voice in an era of great voices.
she didn't kill the neighbor boy, she trapped him in her radio and enslaved him.
yes you are spot on, and the line 'just a crazy girl with a secret lover', well do u agree that the 'Lover' is actually the 'Radio'
She wasn't a serial killer. She was magic and trapped the boy into her stereo
Everyone's gangsta until they get shrunk and trapped by the magical radio witch.
"It's so nice to be insane. No one asks you to explain". I always liked that line. Great song and suggestion.
My favorite line too. It's stuck with me since I was 12.
That is definitely a great line.
"Touched" is another word for crazy or mentally disturbed. Sign of the Times.
Always liked Helen Reddy. She has a distinct voice! 👍
Angie may have been crazy, but she had a special talent, gift. Once she got the lovers into her room she trapped them in her radio forever and they became hers
When songs also told stories. God bless the 70's.
A Number 1 Billboard hit in December 1974
RIP Helen Reddy all her songs are good.
This is the creepiest song ever written. When it played on the radio, people would rush across the room to switch it off.

Neither creepy, try Alice Cooper- Dead Babies.
Yeah i don't see riders of the storm as a creepy song, it's quite atmospheric though.
Yes - You are correct. I forgot about Angie Baby. Thank You for doing this one.
Omg this song i heard countless fimes in background ( with its tv show strings effects) and in fifty years never paid attention fo the story! Wow it blows my mind Helen was talking about this.
Luv this channel for not only the cool revisits but also how she grooves just like we did back in the day. Music is timeless turn on
Witchy Woman - The Eagles, Evil Woman - ELO, Bringing Mary Home - Myrna Lorrie.
It's a bit late, but also "Devil Woman", Cliff Richard ... 10-:
"And As She Turns The Volume Down,, He's Getting Smaller With The Sound"
...She Shrunk Him & He's In The Radio.."Radio By Your Side Angie Baby"
Bought this album with my pocket money when it first came out, there isn't a bad song on it, 2022 and 57 years old, still playing it
This was a huge hit for the Aussie, Billboard Number One in late 1974
Spooky by the Atlantic R Section ,there is always the monster mash by Gary Pickett
You are right, Angela. It's called I Am Woman."
Finally a song with your name besides the Rolling Stones Angie.
Angie loved the people that sang on the radio. That was all she ever wanted to do is listen to the radio. She found her love through song. Kind of like Karen Carpenters Superstar.
Always loved this song. You look great tonight
This was and still is my guilty pleasure
It was supposed to be inspired by The Exorcist. Alan O'Day, who wrote this song, also wrote Rock and Roll Heaven, which was a hit for the Righteous Brothers.
I've always thought of "Angie Baby" as a "Twilight Zone" episode in musical form.
You should do "Devil Woman," by Cliff Richard. "Witchy Woman," by the Eagles. Those would be good Halloween songs. Yes, it's no longer Halloween, but I'll throw them out there anyway. 10-:
Happy Halloween sweetie. Warren Zevon Wharwolves of London. Classic Halloween song
Angie baby she doesn't kill him she magics him in to the radio. One Halloween you should do werewolves of london. Maybe Chers darklady.
I'm 55 yrs old never really thought about the lyrics but Damn Angie crazy..LOL..catchy tune still all these years later.
Yes. Listen to i don't know how to love him..
really cool song... so unique
FUN FACT Angela: For the Guilty Pleasures songs you reacted to my request Undercover Angel by Alan O'Day (generally considered a one hit wonder from 1977 ?).

A Great Great Australian much like Olivia...and Helen also helped Olivia get the role of Sandy in GREASE
For a emotional song by Helen- You And Me Against The World..
Written by Alan O’Day, rest in peace my friend.
Trippy song by Helen... But really good!!!!
"Fire On High" by ELO (yes, the band who sang Xanadu's The Fall) has a creepy intro with back masking message. You should check it out.
Angela !! What a surprise ! Didn't think anyone (or many) remembered this. SO coool. Now to listen to the song with y'all. Okay, after listening to the song again and your comments, Riders is by far the better song, but it's creepiness stems from everyday happenings. I think the girl who sucked the neighbor boy into her private little world (forever?) creepier.
Now you've done this, you should do Jackie Blue.
*Angela* Actually,She`s a Slightly Insane Wiccan....Remember: She Did not KILL HIM....He got changed by the music..So he got Magically Changed by the Magic radio,now he is trapped and enslaved... So NO,he is`nt dead...Just changed!
You should of reviewed Devil Woman by Cliff Richards for Halloween.
He's trapped in the radio!
I think this was my fav of the four. Happy Halloween
I am Angie too. I didn't know that there was another song with my name in it. The only song I've know is "Angie" by The Rolling Stones.
"The Legend of Woolly Swamp" by The Charlie Daniels Band is a seriously spooky song...
One of the other I like is, Christopher Cross 'Ride Like The Wind'
U R a special lady Angela baby
Halloween songs? The Awakening / Cold Ethel -Alice Cooper (Welcome to my Nightmare album) and Billion Dollar Baby (album same name); Momma Frog - Ambrosia; The Tell Tale Heart - Alan Parsons Project; Don't Fear the Reaper / Burning for you / Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult; Ghost Riders in the Sky - The Outlaws; (maybe) Mad Man Across the Water - Elton John; The End - The Doors; Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds; Dead Man - Neil Young...
Angela, I think you missed one haunting song. Its called , Under Your Thumb, by Godley and Creme.
The Guitar...by a great songwriter...Guy Clark.... Spooky!!!
Always thought she was a serial killer, now I see she was just lost in her make believe world, Angie BABY'S ARE PRETTY COMMON NOWADAYS.
You were correct!
You should check out "Happy Birthday to Me" by Syreeta. It's from a horror movie of the same or similar name. Creepy and beautiful.
I totally forgot about this song and I never knew the meaning, thanks
I wish I had caught this ahead of time so I could recommend that you listen to Alice Cooper's "Cold Ethyl" so as to get your creep on for Halloween. It's definitely a twisted song
Hi Angela, great song and much creepier than Riders on the Storm, how can a song about a 'strange' girl with some sort of power who traps lovers, including the neighbour in her radio, to use as she pleases not be creepy?
Reba McEntire - The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia would be a good one too or Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge. Two very mysterious murder songs.
The Crazy Guy is the Radio
I remember when this song first came out and there was some discussion if a HS Girl named Angie was suppose to be a witch, possessing magic powers. The writer Alan O Day said he initially made Angie to be a "mentally slow" girl, but then decided its was easier to just have her "crazy"
I think Helen Reddy had seven number-one hits in a row, big time run of hits. I suppose You and Me Against The World or I Don't Know How to Love Him are favorites
On the Adult Contemporary Chart she had 6 #1s in a row, not the Pop Charts. This was however #1 on the Pop Chart as well as the A/C Chart.
You forgot to react to Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett. That song is a tradition In our family since we were children. Great Halloween song. HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY ANGELA. MUCH LOVE.😍❤💋❣
I would suggest The Legend of Woolly Swamp by Charlie Daniels
You should listen to "Laurie" Strang things happen in this world. Spooking song
Number one for Halloween will always be Thriller.
That's a V E R Y shallow pool you're likely fishing from...do some homework and get back to us. Thriller was a lot of hype & the new video/MTV craze, lyrically, nothing to it. Vincent Price is what makes it cool. 📚

Alice Cooper- Dead Babies.
“Dead Man’s Party”? That's comic relief.
It’s so nice to be insane 😊😊😊😊😊😊
You need to react to Devil Woman by Cliff Richard and also Dark Lady by Cher.
A creepy song is Timothy by the Buoys.
I like Riders ..im partial to The Doors 😊
She is from Australia, and this is one of her many hits, but it's not creepy! It is a great tune, but not frightening! Your Patrons and or Subs should have requested you play the theme from Halloween 1978 and the theme from The Exorcist 1973! Duh!
Yeah, most of the recommendations for this Halloween poll were based on dark themes in the lyrics, rather than the creepily atmospheric music it seems you were hoping for. At least the Doors song fit the bill. Better luck next year! 🎃🦇
Alice Cooper- Dead Babies. That song fits both bills.
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time Hmm, not so much to my ear. But it's all subjective. Here's an (instrumental) example of what I consider to be a musically creepy song (it's a bit long, but be patient - it does gradually change and build tension): ruclips.net/video/Qwe1nbYO3og/видео.html
You should try, "The Ride" by David Allan Coe
Same Helen Reddy DayOne.
A suggestion for next Halloween, Sheena Easton’s video of “Telefone “.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
okay don't know if you still want creepy songs but try The Buoys song " Timothy " it is really out there
Watch her live, even creepier. I was 8.
It’s a great song, awesome arrangement. But them lyrics are definitely out there, but well written.
Was he ever real? Did she kill him because she was being abused? Or was he just someone she imagined? Great song!
She says Well Maybe at the end make you think. was it real or was it for real?
Try “Timothy” by The Bouys.
Angie Baby, scary? Give me a break, I posted a couple of days ago, Alice Cooper- Dead Babies, oh well, it's true, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
By the way, offing one person does not a serial killer make.
Speaking of monsters - I don't think you've reacted to Monsters by James Blunt . if you do have the tissues ready - the whole box !
👏🏻👏🏻😃😃
is this song based on any particular Angie?
Did you hear Boris The Spider, by The Who? 10-:
yeah, this sucker does let you off the hook anywhere along the line.
Dana Dane Nightmares
I forgot that song was kinda creepy.
The boy next door screwed with the wrong girl. She enslaved him.
Check out Hazard by Richard Marx.
Sorry, but this is an absurd song for Halloween. Should have been Alice Cooper's "I Love the Dead" or Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath". Another good one might have been Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy".
what makes it scary is perhaps she collects men and traps their souls in the radio.
This track isn't scary; then, it isn't meant to be. Just a little dark.
Explain to me, how you came to the conclusion that Angie is a serial killer? Do you even know what that term means?
She did lots of white bread covers of soul and R&B.
Why...
