About this episode
This episode explores the dark legends and curses associated with certain songs throughout history.
Some songs get stuck inside your head, While others play—and leave you dead. On this episode, we’re tuning in to the darkest side of music—From the bone-chilling legend of Robert Johnson’s Cross Road Blues and his alleged deal with the Devil, to Rezső Seress’s Gloomy Sunday, known as “The Hungarian Suicide Song,” and even the strange, deadly curse surrounding Frank Sinatra’s My Way. This isn’t just music, it’s harmonic homicide. Want to be a Patreon? Get episodes AD-FREE, early access before anyone else, discounted merch, bonus content, and more! Then become a Spooky VIP!
