The Ghastly Ones - Haulin' Hearse (from A Haunting We Will Go-Go, 1998) - No need to worry about low gas mileage, because this souped-up corpsemobile is fueled by the hi-test, clean-burning power of surf guitar.

Daniel Ash - Spooky (from Daniel Ash, 2002) - The Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/Love and Rockets alumnus (and male lipstick model) turns in a creditable cover of the 1968 hit by Classics IV (which should not be confused with Police Academy IV: Citizens on Patrol, an entirely different kind of classic).
