Scripture of the Day
The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter twenty-one.

The Rebel Black Dot Hallowe'en Song of the Day
The Aquabats!, "Tarantula!" from The Return of the Aquabats! (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Welcome to another spooky edition of the R.B.D.S.O.T.D. celebration of Hallowe'en!

"With giant fangs and eight hairy legs
The monster lives in an underground maze,
Beneath the carpet of the Amazon Jungle
It lies in wait for helpless prey!
Now Professor Jones, he knew the legend of the monster,
He found the mouth of the webby hole,
Armed to the teeth, he ventured forth,
If he'd live or die he did not know!

"Professor Jones! He did not know!
Professor Jones! He did not know!
Where was his daughter? Where did she go?
Fallen to the beast of the webby hole:
Tarantula! Tarantula! Tarantula!…"
