"Spooky" is originally an instrumental song performed by saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro), written by Shapiro and Harry Middlebrooks Jr, which first charted in 1967 hitting No. 57 on the US pop charts.[3] Its best-known version was created by James Cobb and producer Buddy Buie for the group Classics IV when they added lyrics about a "spooky little girl". The vocalist was Dennis Yost.[4] The song is noted for its eerie whistling sound effect depicting the spooky woman. It has become a Halloween favorite.[5] In 1968, the vocal version reached No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[6] and No. 46 in the UK.[7]
