Who doesn't love zombies? Anything involving zombies is bound to rule, and it's surprising that we've yet to dedicate a mixtape to the undead. So get yourself a bowl of brains, grunt a lot and walk around ominously to these zombie-fied jams.

"My Boyfriend is a Zombie"
The Blast Rocks!!!
You're Fired

Though not known for their conversation, zombies are demons in the sack.
—, Molly Eichel

"They Are Night Zombies!!..."
Sufjan Stevens
Illinois

If Sufjan dies before he finishes the 50 States project, I'll be first in line to sacrifice my brain for Zombie Sufjan.
—, Steven Horowitz

"Zombie"
The Cranberries
No Need To Argue

With their songs now soundtracking such cinematic triumphs as "You've Got Mail" and "Clockstoppers," it's pretty much safe to say that the Cranberries' career is as good as (un)dead.
—, Claudia Quiros

"Living Dead Girl"
Rob Zombie
Hellbilly Deluxe

Brains only taste sweet for so long. At the end of the night, zombie-core heartthrob Rob Zombie assures us, "There's only one sure way to bring the giant down." Yuck.
—, Andy Sterling

"A Rose For Emily"
The Zombies
Odessey & Oracle

Faulkner's short story of the same name ends with a horrifying necrophiliac twist. This sugary piano ballad, incongruously, does not. Some zombies you are!
—, Jordan Rothlein

"Death to Everyone"
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
I See A Darkness

Imagine if every single person in New York City became a zombie. Who could stop us? No one!
—, Gordon Faylor

"If You Shoot the Head, You Kill the Ghoul"
Jeffrey Lewis
It's the Ones Who've Cracked That the Light Shines Through

Jeff Lewis grew up in New York City, so he understands the imminent threat of necropocolypse better than anyone. If you see shamblers, say something.
—, James Hodges
