SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   It's the Great 2000 Booga Booga Halloween Challenge! Get your holey sheets and brooms out for:  Drop-Dead Decor (Terre Haute, Indiana) -- An online company is digging for Halloween business with a line of furniture that would make the Addams Family envious. Your Coffin Company builds and sells coffins to consumers eager to give their home decor a distinctive flair. The company has devised 101 uses for the average wooden coffin -- aside from the usual purpose -- including as a coffee table, wine rack, bookshelf and entertainment center. "We decided ... this was the ultimate conversation piece. We have a motto that you should get to know your coffin before you're buried in it," said Brad Miller, co-owner of the online company. The coffins, made from oak or maple wood, start at $389 for a basic, no-frills model. Miller said their web site averages about 50,000 visitors a day, some of whom have sought phone booth coffins and even coffin beds.

Knockin' On The Coffin Door by Amergin

Mama, take this shroud off of me
I don't need it anymore.
I can't breathe so hear my plea
While I'm knockin on the coffin door

Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door

Mama, take my body from the ground
I can't be here anymore.
Six feet of dirt are holdin' me down
And so I'm knocking on the coffin door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door
Knock, knock, knockin' on the coffin door.
