- Midnight Special is a tradtional American folk song beleived to be originated by Prisoners in the American South. The song was sung by The Jukebox Band in the Season 2 episode Scare Dares and in the VHS special A Day in the Life of The Jukebox Band. The song is a lyrical tribute to the real Midnight Special that ran on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, beleived to me made by prisoners in the American South. In Scares Dares the band perform the song to enhance the halloween spirit in the station with everyone in their costumes. After the song is performed Didi enters in later as the band discovers the one singing with them was a ghost. In A Day in the Life, Tex suggests the band play a scary song to help them sleep.
