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.

Little Bitty Basket by Irish Sergeant

I went on down to Terre Haute with some cash in a little bitty basket,
I dropped a dime and called a friend, we went to buy a casket.
'Twas a big old bastard made of wood and lined with scarlet velveteen,
Would done old Dracula mighty proud if in it he could be seen.

We tied it to the top of his car, it was an old grey pinto,
Then we headed east to Ohio to see what we could get into.
The girls they didn't give us time, the fellows called us foolish,
And some old priest from Kalamazoo told us that we were ghoulish.
