31 Days of Halloween 2017 - Day Twenty-Five - The Whyte Boots - Nightmare

NIGHTMARE

THE WHYTE BOOTS


Written by Lori Burton and Pam Sawyer, the pair couldn't find a band to perform this song, part homage part parody of the tragic boy songs performed by girl groups of the era, so they made the group up. Burton supplied the vocals and the girls on the cover? They were asked to pose as "The Whyte Boots" for the single. Later on, when Burton did a full record and included this song, their ruse was exposed. One of the greatest tragic girl group cult classics, this song ends in a death at the hands of the narrator (who really need some new friends)!  I hope you enjoy one of the weirdest songs I have ever heard.
