"Vampyr," Pete Yorn

"Vampire Rock" - Fabulous Poodles
"Moon Over Bourbon Street" - Sting
"Monster Movies" - Bollock Brothers (heard that on an online new wave station the other day. Good lord, it was awful.)
"Count Dracula, Where's Your Trousers" - Bollock Brothers (never heard the song. I'm probably thankful for that.)
"Nosferatu" - Hugh Cornwell & Robert Williams
"Vampire Racecourse" - The Sleepy Jackson
"Night of the Vampire" - Roky Erickson

"Vampire with a Healthy Appetite" - Steve Hackett
"Tattoo Vampire" - Blue Oyster Cult

Vampire Girl - Jonathan Richman
I Love The Night - Blue Oyster Cult
Night Of The Vampire - Screaming Lord Sutch
At Dawn They Sleep - Slayer
Love Song For A Vampire - Annie Lennox

Why would Annie Lennox write a song to herself?

The title certainly leaves nothing to the imagination.

"Taste of Blood" - Mazzy Star
"Theme from Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - Nerf Herder
"Bloodsucker" - Southern Culture on the Skids
"Daybreak" - Harry Nilsson

"Date With A Vampyre" - Screaming Tribesmen
"Vampire Blues" - Neil Young
"Vampire" - Sebadoh
"Making Love To A Vampire With A Monkey On My Knee" - Captain Beefheart
"Vampira," "We Bite" - Misfits
"The Vampyre Of Time And Memory" - Queens Of The Stone Age
"Vampyre" - Wolverton Brothers

Zappa has a song called "Transylvania Boogie" which one could argue is not about Transylvania or vampires since it is an instrumental.

Little Vampires - Jon Langford And His Sadies
Vampire Casino - Eugene McGuinness
Vampire Girl - Devils Brigade
Vampire Girl Prefers Me Alive - J Church
And FiveWords beat me to Date With A Vampire. Gee that tune brings back a few memories.

"Release the Bats" - the Birthday Party

01 Renfield's Syndrome - Third Realm

More interesting to read about the actual medical disorder than to listen to this crap. You didn't say the song had to be any good. Sorry. It gets better.

02 The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula - The Jazz Butcher

But not much better.

Not a terrible song. But a crap video. A few decent videos and this guy might have been a contender. Maybe that was the idea?

03 Vlad The Impaler - Kasabian

I guess technically, Vlad The Impaler was sort of "pre-vampire?"

04 Vampyros Lesbos - Abstraxion[/b]

Hmm. Allegedly French. Kinda-sorta-almost interesting.

05 Blacula (The Stalkwalk) - Gene Page

Blaxploitation alert!

06 Love Theme From 'Taste The Blood of Dracula' - James Bernard

Weird Soundtrack Notions Alert!

07 Lost In The Shadows (The Lost Boys) - Lou Gramm

An excellent antidote to any of that "The 80's weren't so bad" twaddle.

08 Peter Plogojowitz - Infestaaedes

Black Death Metal Alert!

09 Max Schreck - Saints 'N' Sinners

Turkish Metal Alert!

10 Talent Is A Vampire - Bongwater

One of Bongwater's most obnoxious offerings ever. And that's saying a lot ... considering their oeuvre in general.

11 Vampyre Song - Bad Credit No Credit

Never hoid of 'em until just now. Probably the best most interesting thing found during this time-vampire of an exercise.

...

Sorry Guillermo del Toro! No songs about Umberto Fulcanelli in the context of vampirism.
