Isn't this one FUN?! And you don't have to listen to my VOICE!
Ok, but "seriously"- approach this one like some semi-mindless 80s synth pop rock dream. It belongs when you invite it in, so invite it innnn.
This was originally called Louanne. It was just one of those times that a random word or phrase jumps out and super-glues itself into a melody, which happens for me quite often and I'll just write lyrics around it. But I wanted to write a song for Halloween called "Witchboard" (AKA Ouija) and this one was properly eerie and fun and - lo and behold - "Louanne"'s two-syllable refrain was possessed and ultimately consumed by "Witchboard".
