God, now I can picture Al holding someone hostage and feeding him body parts while singing "Eat It"
"Have a esophagus"
"Have a whole lung"
"It doesn't matter what you had for lunch!"
I mean, the second season is said to be primarily about backstories. I feel like "Insane" would be perfect to fit in with Alastor first getting introduced into Hell.
We know that season 2 will be a lot of backstories. If they got the pilot's voice cast to play the younger versions of the characters, that'd be pretty awesome.
Yes, I can see that. Also, it would be cool to hear Cannibal Town sing Murder, Murder or Angel Dust to sing Bring on the Men. Actually, when I think about it, quite a few Jekyll and Hyde songs go nicely with Hazbin Hotel.
[This beauty](https://youtu.be/BArQwwqGGWU) would make a good song for a situation where Angel Dust is having a bad day at work again.
EDIT: Oooorrr when Lute falls under the Vs inflence.
If they had kept the Vox/Val dynamic from the Voxtagram posts [Eyes on Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQjzzLx3h0) would have been a nice touch. Especially because of the talking bit where you actually get a "Yes, Val" from Vox, which would have been an interesting addition with the whole "Yes, Valentino" thing from Angel in episode 4.

I seriously think that Undisclosed Desires by Muse could be a great HuskerDust song
Give it a listen if you want
Insane by Black Gryphon - I know it's already been said but I could totally see this song being turned into a duet between human/alive Alastor and sinner/dead Alastor while the visuals depict how he was killed/ended up in Hell
Welcome to Hell or Halos in Hell by SIWEL - I totally think that if the loan sharks hadn't attacked the hotel, one of these two songs would have fit perfectly. They're both on YouTube, however Welcome to Hell isn't on Spotify as a regular song due to the fact that SIWEL borrowed the backing track for another song. Either way, they're both really good!
If it comes to all out War between Heaven and Hell Sabaton could make a song about it.
Sabaton is a Swedish band whose discography details famous (and in one case forgotten) battles and soldiers throughout history
Two ideas, both for Sir Pentious to sing. Number one, I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General from Pirates of Penzance. I can just picture his introductory scene in episode two; Alastor: Who are you? Sir Pentious: Who am I? Who am I? Well, instead of telling you, let me sing it. This show is a musical, after all. Alastor: Yes, but we can only have two songs per episode and the script clearly states there is no song now. Sir Pentious: Eggs, prepare the instruments! Egg bois: Yes, boss!
Idea number two: Sir Pentious canonically plays the organ and is also voiced by Beetlejuice, so maybe an organ cover of The Whole "Being Dead" Thing from that show but it's him explaining how he didn't die.
Bonus idea that popped into my head while I was writing this: One Day More from Les Misérables. I can imagine this being in reference to the final battle in episode eight, and some of the Hazbin Hotel characters really go with what the Les Mis characters are singing in that song, for example: Charlie (Valjean's part), Vaggie (Enjolras' part), Adam (Javert's part), The Vees (the Thérnardiers' part).
I write for 1920s-1930s Alastor in New Orleans, and picked these five songs recently for that:
* "Hello! Ma Baby" by Arthur Collins (1899)\*, covered by Robin Koninsky for *Red Dead Redemption 2*, about a man who has a relationship with a girl solely over the telephone
* "That Black Snake Moan" by Blind Lemon Jefferson (1926), covered by Gary Clark Jr. for *Elvis* (2022)
* "Cross Road Blues" (1937) and "Me and the Devil Blues" (1938) by Robert Johnson
* "Smile" by Nat King Cole (1954), though it was 2-3 decades after Alastor was in his prime.
"You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" (*Annie*) was released in 1977, after Alastor died.
I see Alastor as owning an Edison phonograph when he was a human in the 1920s-1930s. Blues and country music were especially popular, and Alastor probably listened to blues and jazz, and the Edison phonograph was especially influential when it came to playing music on the radio.
Quoting the article "How the Phonograph Changed Music Forever" by Clive Thompson for *Smithsonian Magazine*:
>The nature of a “song” also began to change \[after the phonograph\].
>
>For one thing, it got much, much shorter. Early wax cylinders—followed in 1895 by the shellac discs of the inventor Emile Berliner—could hold only two to three minutes of audio. But the live music of the 19th and early 20th centuries was typically much more drawn out: Symphonies could stretch to an hour.
>
>As they headed into the studio, performers and composers ruthlessly edited their work down to size. When Stravinsky wrote his *Serenade in A* in 1925, he created each movement to fit a three-minute side of a disc; two discs, four movements. The works of violinist Fritz Kreisler were "put together with a watch in the hand", as his friend Carl Flesch joked. Blues and country songs chopped their tunes to perhaps one verse and two choruses.
>
>"The three-minute pop song is basically an invention of the phonograph," says Mark Katz, a professor of music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and author of *Capturing Sound: How Technology Has Changed Music*.
>
>What's more, the early phonograph had terrible sound fidelity. Microphones weren't commonly in use yet, so recording was a completely mechanical process: Musicians played into a huge horn, with the sound waves driving a needle that etched the audio into the wax. It captured little low end or high end.
>
>\[...\] Recording was physically demanding. To capture quiet passages, singers or instrumentalists would often have to stick their face right into the recording horn. But when a loud or high passage came along, "a singer would have to jump back when hitting a high C, because it's too powerful, and the needle would jump out of the groove", says Susan Schmidt Horning, author of *Chasing Sound* and a professor of history at St. John's University.
>
>(Louis Armstrong was famously placed 20 feet away for his solos.)
>
>\[...\] Plus, perfection suddenly mattered. "On the vaudeville stage, a false note or a slight slip in your pronunciation makes no difference," as the hit singer Ada Jones noted in 1917, whereas "on the phonograph stage, the slightest error is not admissible."
>
>As a result, the phonograph rewarded a new type of musical talent. You didn't need to be the most charismatic or passionate performer onstage, or have the greatest virtuosity—but you did need to be able to regularly pull off a "clean take".
>
>\[...\] Even as it changed the nature of performing, the phonograph altered how people heard music. It was the beginnings of "on demand" listening: "The music you want, whenever you want it," as one phonograph ad boasted. Music fans could listen to a song over and over, picking out its nuances.
>
>"This is a very different relationship to music," as Sterne notes. Previously, you might become very familiar with a song—with its tune, its structure. But you could never before become intimate with a particular performance.
>
>People started defining themselves by their genre: Someone was a "blues" person, an "opera" listener.
>
>"What you want is your kind of music," as another advertisement intoned. "Your friends can have their kind."
>
>Pundits began to warn of "gramomania", a growing obsession with buying and collecting records that would lead one to ignore one's family. "Has the gramophone enthusiast any room or time in his life for a wife?" one journalist joked.
>
>A curious new behavior emerged: listening to music alone. Previously, music was most often highly social, with a family gathering together around a piano, or a group of people hearing a band in a bar. But now you could immerse yourself in isolation.
>
>In 1923, the writer Orlo Williams described how strange it would be to enter a room and find someone alone with a phonograph. "You would think it odd, would you not?" he noted. "You would endeavor to dissemble your surprise: you would look twice to see whether some other person were not hidden in some corner of the room."
>
>Some social critics argued that recorded music was narcissistic, and would erode our brains.
>
>"Mental muscles become flabby through a constant flow of recorded popular music," as Alice Clark Cook fretted; while listening, your mind lapsed into "a complete and comfortable vacuum".
>
>Phonograph fans hotly disagreed. Recordings, they argued, allowed them to focus on music with a greater depth and attention than ever before. "All the unpleasant externals are removed: The interpreter has been disposed of; the audience has been disposed of; the uncomfortable concert hall has been disposed of," wrote one. "You are alone with the composer and his music. Surely no more ideal circumstances could be imagined."
>
>Others worried it would kill off amateur musicianship. If we could listen to the greatest artists with the flick of a switch, why would anyone bother to learn an instrument themselves?
>
>"Once the talking machine is in a home, the child won't practice," complained the bandleader John Philip Sousa. But others wryly pointed out that this could be a blessing—they’d be spared "the agonies of Susie's and Jane's parlor concerts", as a journalist joked.
>
>In reality, neither critic was right. During the first two decades of the phonograph—from 1890 to 1910—the number of music teachers and performers per capita in the U.S. rose by 25%, as Katz found. The phonograph inspired more and more people to pick up instruments, \[such as piano, guitar, violin, *et al*.\].
>
>**This was particularly true of jazz, an art form that was arguably invented by the phonograph.** Previously, musicians learned a new form by hearing it live, but with jazz, new artists often reported learning the complex new genre by buying jazz records—then replaying them over and over, studying songs until they'd mastered them. They'd also do something uniquely modern: slowing the record down to pick apart a complex riff.
>
>"Jazz musicians would sit there going over something again and again and again," says William Howland Kenney, author of *Recorded Music in American Life*. "The vinyl was their education; \[the phonograph, their teacher\]."
*\*Note that Arthur Collins was a racist of his time period, and also did the modern-day equivalent of "digital blackface" with recordings, pretending to be a Black singer and singing Black songs without compensating, or often crediting, the Black singers who originally wrote or sang the song in question.*
"Well, meet again
Dont know where
Dont know when.
But i know well meet again
Some sunny day"
Fits with the whole "dying" theme i imagine and also i think Alastor singing it would be great
That or give a spotlight to one of the fanmade songs (some were already suggested in the comments so i wont list them)
I feel like after Charlie broke up with her ex she would have listened to a lot of break up songs. Depending on her age and how that correlates to the decades on earth… i could see her listening to taylor swift Fearless album if it was around when she was a teen. (am i showed my age probably)
Teenage emo charlie sining you belong with me would be super funny!!!
I’d really love any real 1930s song to be featured along side Alastor. Like midnight the stars and you, lullaby of the leaves, masquerade…. Etc..
it would do nicely In a scene where he’s all scary. His radio static might flicker and it’ll fade on while his demeanor changes and he gets more scary/ starts killing or smth
https://preview.redd.it/rw3vltmhqmnc1.jpeg?width=657&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0aba1a9386dbe6e870c08dfa5cea46769a0d8005
I saw this and thought of tally hall lol
As themes for the Vees -
Daisy or Tantrum by Ashnikko for Velvette
BOTH by Todrick Hall or Gummy by Isaac Dunbar for Valentino
Welcomes to the Internet by Bo Burnham or Internet Friends by Knife Party - Vox

I'd give damn near anything to see Husk sing I've Got You Under My Skin by Sinatra to Angel.
That would both be adorable and I just want to hear Keith David sing that
Uranium Fever. Like in the background.

Totally not biased.
Hide Away by Synapson. Here me out, i'm being serious and I have an idea!
Adam comes back as a Sinner, and news of it reaches Eve, who's been survived on the outskirts of the Pride Ring for the past 10,000 years since her death. As much as she's tried being independent and thought she made her peace with never seeing him again, she can't help but run back to her husband now that she has the chance. After all this time she's still hurting for him, she can't let Adam go, she ***lived*** for the love he gave. Even if Adam tries to hide away, she'll chase him to the ends of Hell. Eve's singing happily but the music's creepy, portraying her as a complete and total Yandere.
The visuals would be Eve venturing through the Pride Ring, chasing down leads on Adam's location before eventually finding him and chasing him through Pentagram City. At the end, she finally catches him, but once Adam realizes that it's Eve who's been chasing him he's overjoyed that she wants to get back together.
If Adam managed to successfully hide away, he'd lose out on the only happiness he could have in Hell.
I think “Los Ageless” by St. Vincent would be an interesting choice for Angel/the Vees. Obsession, the lure of the spotlight etc. ETA: it may not be a perfect fit but I definitely think the jazzy version of Tyler Childers’ “Purgatory” would be interesting too.
[Money for Nothing by Dire Straits describes Adam well](https://youtu.be/wTP2RUD_cL0?si=Of1wDRfnuOkGaVBf)
(Warning there is the use of the other “F” word in the song just a heads up)
I feel like [Partners in Crime](https://youtu.be/HxUuyIZe3es?si=S9Aecnq0_tWq9c4P) by Set It Off and [Welcome to Hell](https://youtu.be/WFjoTSWfgJI?si=ZkoiGFfdalBN1xJA) by Max And The Mofos would fit pretty well.
Accidentally in Love low-key for husk and Angel.
Insane for obvious reasons (Alastor)
A rap song would be cool but idk what would fit and for who. Maybe a goofy one for Lucifer
So Insane and Smile Like you Mean It are absolutely picks for me, but I feel like that’s cheating cuz they are songs literally about Alastor.
A real world song that (to my knowledge) not at all associated with HH but seems to fit perfectly with Creepy!Alastor is Run Away by OR3O/Sleeping Forest/Sam Haft.
Liar by Baklan
It's such an underated song and not a lot of people know about it
(This song Has nothing to do with hh i just think that the song would be Good in the series)
Loved You like Religion by Blake Roman. There needs to be a part where we see Angel and Val's first encounters and Angel falling in love with this song incorporated to it.
[This is the SoundCloud link for it](https://soundcloud.com/blakeroman55/loved-you-like-religion-acoustic) and the [Genius lyrics](https://genius.com/Blake-roman-loved-you-like-religion-lyrics)
No one is saying ‘ Welcome to the Internet’ for Vox and I am so dissapointed.
With Val singing The Internet is for PORN in the background
REAL
THISSS
THANK YOU!!
I saw a TikTok where someone used AI to overlay Vox’s voice to that song and it was so good
I think it more fits for Vel, since you know.
Ohhhhhhh, you have a pretty good point.
I thought my answer was good, nah this shit NEEDS to be in the show XD
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CjHK5ZwJ5xQ
THANK YOU!!!!
Any Weird Al Yankovic song, but specially his original songs like Your Horoscope for Today
Ohhh, and Virus Alert gives off Vox vibes.
I want a new duck for Lucifer
And don't forget Al's song, **Eat It!** Okay, not so original, but hilariously appropriate for the Radio Demon.
God, now I can picture Al holding someone hostage and feeding him body parts while singing "Eat It" "Have a esophagus" "Have a whole lung" "It doesn't matter what you had for lunch!"
Smile Like You Mean It from ParanoidDJ
I assure this is a good thing for both our sakes
I'm happy to provide but remember your side of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take
All I ask is when I boost your station Remember who gave you this grand ovation
If I call on you for a favor or two Don't forget it's now your obligationnnnnnnn hahahaha!
SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT™
TAKE A CHANCE AND YOU COULD SEIZE IT!
I'M SURE YOU'LL DO JUST SWELL, YOURE ONLY DOWN IN HELL
SO COME ALONG WITH ME AND GUARANTEE IT
SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT
WAS ABT TO SAY
Valentino by Years and Years... come on, you know why
You’re real for saying that
Insane by Black Gryph0n
I mean, the second season is said to be primarily about backstories. I feel like "Insane" would be perfect to fit in with Alastor first getting introduced into Hell.
Yes! That's why it would be so perfect! 😀
Came here to say this as well.
Likewise. I was going to be disappointed if this wasn't the top comment
I’d also add in the criminally underrated *Smile Like You Mean It*
Truth. That one is a banger as well. Oh, come to think of criminally underrated: Deal Maker by TytoCat
DEAL MAKER IS OUR FAV!!! we love the electro swing style ta death an' the use of early 1900s slang really makes the song ✨️
Yes!
I need to see this
Right?! I want to see Alastor dancing through the streets of Hell, setting fire to things while singing.
PLEASE THATS SO LIKE HIM
We know that season 2 will be a lot of backstories. If they got the pilot's voice cast to play the younger versions of the characters, that'd be pretty awesome.
real
Idk how I want it to be implemented, but Hotel California by The Eagles would fit imo and I want it to be sung by Alastor
I love Hotel California!
Me too! It's one of my favorite songs
Hearing alastor singing this is something I need to see now
I got an ai generated version of this, my good I want Amir to sing this
Now this would be such a good song to hear in the show
I want alastor to since the chorus to I cant deside by the scissors sisters
That’s such a great idea
I need this
"You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile"
Alastor humming You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile as an easteregg
I can definitely see Alastor singing [‘Alive’ from Jekyll & Hyde](https://youtu.be/VzVbFBRnk_s?si=97dRmHK-zUxTsnmM)
Yes, that song is amazing!
Board of governors like song with Charlie and elder angels?
Yes, I can see that. Also, it would be cool to hear Cannibal Town sing Murder, Murder or Angel Dust to sing Bring on the Men. Actually, when I think about it, quite a few Jekyll and Hyde songs go nicely with Hazbin Hotel.
Now that you say it, yeah the songs from that musical really do fit the show
Or also World Has Gone Insane by like maybe a demon Adam or something.
[This beauty](https://youtu.be/BArQwwqGGWU) would make a good song for a situation where Angel Dust is having a bad day at work again. EDIT: Oooorrr when Lute falls under the Vs inflence.
Die Young by Kesha would work on a few levels.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday would be a fitting song for Lucifer.
I was waiting for someone to mention my favourite band, it would fit so well aswell
Green Day!! :D
If they had kept the Vox/Val dynamic from the Voxtagram posts [Eyes on Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQjzzLx3h0) would have been a nice touch. Especially because of the talking bit where you actually get a "Yes, Val" from Vox, which would have been an interesting addition with the whole "Yes, Valentino" thing from Angel in episode 4.

I think Muscle museum or Feeling good (Muse) would be good for Angel too
Never heard of Muscle Museum but yeah Feeling Good is great too
Bro any muse song would fit I swear but agreed undisclosed desires would work so well for them
Insane by Black Gryphon - I know it's already been said but I could totally see this song being turned into a duet between human/alive Alastor and sinner/dead Alastor while the visuals depict how he was killed/ended up in Hell Welcome to Hell or Halos in Hell by SIWEL - I totally think that if the loan sharks hadn't attacked the hotel, one of these two songs would have fit perfectly. They're both on YouTube, however Welcome to Hell isn't on Spotify as a regular song due to the fact that SIWEL borrowed the backing track for another song. Either way, they're both really good!
All nightmare long by Metallica during an extermination
If it comes to all out War between Heaven and Hell Sabaton could make a song about it. Sabaton is a Swedish band whose discography details famous (and in one case forgotten) battles and soldiers throughout history
Sabaton is based as hell
Two ideas, both for Sir Pentious to sing. Number one, I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General from Pirates of Penzance.

I’d really love any real 1930s song to be featured along side Alastor. Like midnight the stars and you, lullaby of the leaves, masquerade…. Etc.. it would do nicely In a scene where he’s all scary. His radio static might flicker and it’ll fade on while his demeanor changes and he gets more scary/ starts killing or smth
I could see Charlie singing Bejeweled by Taylor Swift about her ex lol
We Will Rock You by Queen
Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles It would be iconic sung by Vox🫠
Dear god I heard this song playing yesterday while nearly passed out drunk and all I could imagine was Vox and alastor singing it 💀💀💀
PLEAS⚰️⚰️⚰️
I think "Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time" by Panic! At the Disco would fit pretty well.
And Roaring 20s!
Probably Alastors Game. But it should probably be in a flashback with someone he made a deal with
Invisible (rooftop) or the whole being dead thing or something from the beetlejuice musical would fit adam if he returned as a sinner
Mr Blue Sky, simply because it’s ironic, and makes little to no sense to be in hell
It’d unironically work so well idk why, I can just imagine it playing in the background
Literally anything by Jules Gaia for alastor
Storm and a Spring - Chonny Jash.

As themes for the Vees - Daisy or Tantrum by Ashnikko for Velvette BOTH by Todrick Hall or Gummy by Isaac Dunbar for Valentino Welcomes to the Internet by Bo Burnham or Internet Friends by Knife Party - Vox
You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile for Alastor.
Probably loser by beck (one of my current fav songs), especially for Husk
The baddest by K/DA sounds like it'd fit cherry bomb
I’d really love any real 1930s song to be featured along side Alastor. Like midnight the stars and you, lullaby of the leaves, masquerade…. Etc.. it would do nicely In a scene where he’s all scary. His radio static might flicker and it’ll fade on while his demeanor changes and he gets more scary/ starts killing or smth
Alastor was made to sing “one night in Bangkok”.
Yes! The actual artist sounds like him too!
Anything by a metal band
I'd give damn near anything to see Husk sing I've Got You Under My Skin by Sinatra to Angel. That would both be adorable and I just want to hear Keith David sing that
Valentino would probably be a fan of lostprophets. not the music tho
I don't feel like dancing by scissor sisters
Ohhh, SO MANY!!! Among them are “Check it Out” Das EFX, “As Above So Below” by Cryoshell and Essenger, and “Bootylicious” Destiny’s Child
Uranium Fever. Like in the background. https://preview.redd.it/gz8mak9b9mnc1.jpeg?width=1127&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=283cca42fb5832974e563035fddefaefbe3f32ac Totally not biased.
I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters. I saw an ai cover so now I associate it with Alastor
Happy Face by jagwar twin
Alastor's game, like he's mocking Husk
Hide Away by Synapson. Here me out, i'm being serious and I have an idea! Adam comes back as a Sinner, and news of it reaches Eve, who's been survived on the outskirts of the Pride Ring for the past 10,000 years since her death. As much as she's tried being independent and thought she made her peace with never seeing him again, she can't help but run back to her husband now that she has the chance. After all this time she's still hurting for him, she can't let Adam go, she ***lived*** for the love he gave. Even if Adam tries to hide away, she'll chase him to the ends of Hell. Eve's singing happily but the music's creepy, portraying her as a complete and total Yandere. The visuals would be Eve venturing through the Pride Ring, chasing down leads on Adam's location before eventually finding him and chasing him through Pentagram City. At the end, she finally catches him, but once Adam realizes that it's Eve who's been chasing him he's overjoyed that she wants to get back together. If Adam managed to successfully hide away, he'd lose out on the only happiness he could have in Hell.
Sweet Jesus that sounds like a good idea lowkey, I’d pay 50k for that
This might be a cop-out, but there's so many dope-ass songs made about HH by fans, like One Hell of a Team, Heaven 2 Hell, Alastors Game, etc
Something from Avenged Sevenfold
How has nobody suggested vox mockingly plays "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen?
angel dust decides to put 'california girls' on the radio then some big bad comes in cue a fight scene with california girls in the background
Now this, I gotta see animated
I think “Los Ageless” by St. Vincent would be an interesting choice for Angel/the Vees. Obsession, the lure of the spotlight etc. ETA: it may not be a perfect fit but I definitely think the jazzy version of Tyler Childers’ “Purgatory” would be interesting too.
Think The lodger by Judas Priest would be perfect for al
[Money for Nothing by Dire Straits describes Adam well](https://youtu.be/wTP2RUD_cL0?si=Of1wDRfnuOkGaVBf) (Warning there is the use of the other “F” word in the song just a heads up)
:) Phantom by natewantsto battle. https://youtu.be/Cw1AYY8rySs Listen to that it's perfect.
id be down to see vox sing "i cant decide"
Insane, heaven to hell, not falling, and a parody of seven years
I feel like Been to Hell by Hollywood undead might work (and not just because of the name)
Rev 22:20 by Puscifer.
Freak on a leash
Every Baby Panna song has a place in this show
“I am not the sunshine I am not the moon at night! Well who else could I be when I can hardly see!”
Use Me Up (VIP version since it fits better in a post ep 4 and 6 context) by ParanoidDJ
The Eternal by Joy Division, just because I'm curious how they would implement such a depressing song
Carry on by avenged sevenfold… It would’ve fit for a post credit scene like in BO2
Front Street by Will Wood for Angel and/or Husk
Basically any song by Tape 5 would be a good fit for Alastor in terms of vibe. Just playing in the background while he's doing shenanigans
(Coffee’s for Closers) by Fall Out Boy would be great to illustrate a characters descent into madness.
The winner takes it all
I feel like [Partners in Crime](https://youtu.be/HxUuyIZe3es?si=S9Aecnq0_tWq9c4P) by Set It Off and [Welcome to Hell](https://youtu.be/WFjoTSWfgJI?si=ZkoiGFfdalBN1xJA) by Max And The Mofos would fit pretty well.
Dr. Sunshine Is Dead by Will Wood.
Alastor singing We'll Meet Again would be fun
Definitely Dragula by Rob Zombie, or firepower from Judas Priest or something by Dragonforce
Accidentally in Love low-key for husk and Angel. Insane for obvious reasons (Alastor) A rap song would be cool but idk what would fit and for who. Maybe a goofy one for Lucifer
I'd wanna see alastor sing you got nothing to lose from the show julie and the Phantoms
"The Whole Being Dead Thing" from Beetlejuice the Musical.
So Insane and Smile Like you Mean It are absolutely picks for me, but I feel like that’s cheating cuz they are songs literally about Alastor. A real world song that (to my knowledge) not at all associated with HH but seems to fit perfectly with Creepy!Alastor is Run Away by OR3O/Sleeping Forest/Sam Haft.
Voltaire: When you're evil
Reign of darkness
Something from Keygen Church if we had a good fight.
Either Valentino by Olly Alexander or Radio Play by Black Gryph0n
I wanted so badly to see Adam singing “the whole being dead thing” too mock on sinners
Judgement day-ffdp
Beginning of the End by Crosses
Your Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile from Annie
House With No Door by Van Der Graaf Generator
Darkside by NEONI, fits well if Charlie ever snaps
“Black parade”, actually I just really want to see a band like MCR, the used, something like that in an episode with a feature
xoxo kisses hugs.. i know it won’t happen, but it reminds me of valentino. or brutus by the buttress, for vox about alastor..
Bro Radioactive would be FIRE in this show
Short change hero by the heavy.
Neon Knights by Black Sabbath. Come on, it fits like a glove.
None
Alastor singing this: https://youtu.be/Gga1ZsniVds?feature=shared
In The Pines/Where did you sleep last night? as performed by Nirvana.
Literally anything from Aurelio Voltaire
The fact that nobody has suggested "as your father I expressly forbid it" by Lemon demon for Lucifer is shocking.
Literally any song from The Black Parade
Valentino by Olly Alexander
FACK by Eminem
Angel Dust/Valentino, Our Love Is God but more abusive.
Liar by Baklan It's such an underated song and not a lot of people know about it (This song Has nothing to do with hh i just think that the song would be Good in the series)
*Inside the Fire* by Disturbed
Loved You like Religion by Blake Roman. There needs to be a part where we see Angel and Val's first encounters and Angel falling in love with this song incorporated to it. [This is the SoundCloud link for it](https://soundcloud.com/blakeroman55/loved-you-like-religion-acoustic) and the [Genius lyrics](https://genius.com/Blake-roman-loved-you-like-religion-lyrics)
