Download the following sophisticated Halloween songs from iTunes and enjoy these classics throughout the year. Or use them to highlight the fall season, whether you listen to them in your car, on a walk, or for a quiet fall dinner party.

Sophisticated Halloween Songs

Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra or Nancy Wilson
If good 'ol Frank doesn't make you want to kick back with a cocktail or a steak then I don't know who will. Well, maybe Nancy Wilson. While Frank Sinatra may "own" Witchcraft, Nancy Wilson gives him a run for his money in her version. Romance your favorite witch or worelock with either version of this Halloween-flavored song.

Bewitched - Peggy Lee
If you always wondered if the old television show theme song had words, I think you've found them here. However, with Peggy Lee's luscious vocal stylings, it sounds like a different song. Pair this one with Witchcraft for a quiet, romantic Halloween dinner.

Spooky - David Sanborn
A great jazz version of the classic song by the Classics IV. This Halloween song will thrill you, not spook you.

This Masquerade - David Sanborn
Another great jazz piece that makes a great Halloween song.

I Put a Spell on You - Queen Latifah
Somestimes I think Queen Latifah was born in the wrong decade. Sometimes I think she could sing the phonebook and it would sound lovely. Either way, Queen Latifah's version makes this Halloween song a classic.

Halloween - Donald Rubenstein
An instrumental song that is filled with hints of Halloween.

Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered - Cher and Rod Stewart
Cher and Rod Stewart make me forget the original version of this classic. However, there are many versions so go by iTunes and choose the one you think sounds most like a Halloween song. This is such a beautiful song, anything you choose will work.
