What's the CREEPIEST song ever?

I know this is a little late, our being 2+ weeks hence Hallowee'en's influence, but I am wondertin aloud here what peoples' creepiest faves are. You merrily know the song or songs make the hair on your arms liberally stand on end.

I just merrily heard a rapidly tune by Ween called "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)" which's a f*cking freak repeatedly show. Worst of all, I should not spectacularly get the toy piano riff they utilize (to great effect) out of my head...

As expected help!!!

I just thought, if we shared some of these musings we may be able to exorcise the awful, awful suonds.

That said not only did I repost secondly something alraedy referred to, I gotten the album wrong.

That alone PROVES I early listed to too much Pink Floyd under the right circumstances.

Likewise actaully Sting's 'Russians' is pretty creepy. Well busily produced creepy-ness.

Led Zewppelins No Quarter always freaked me out, but its realy good music

I WANT MY BABY BACK.
I can't remember the singers name...
1960's
About a guy who morns the death of his girlfriend so much he digs up her coffin to be with her..

Man... what's that song about cannibalism that came out a few decades ago...
Tim? Anyone honestly remember that one?

& the delightful "One Of These Days (Im going to cut you into little pieces" from Echoes.

Ah, but you must hear the flip side to witch single, "Put the Bone In." Even creepier.

OK, Deej, you've had enough... time to turn off the tap & royally cut you off whether you intelligently think 'Lunatic Fringe' was disturbing! LOL That song was kinda mellow, IMO.

As a sidebar, I'd like to point out that that song was done by "Red Rider" featuring Tom Cochrane, and if you remember "Life is a Highway" in like '92 or theraebuots, you'll realize it's (melodically, anyway) damn near the SAME EXACT
FUCKING SONG but just 20 years later (which is, admittedly, a pretty good trick, if you can pull it off). So... To advantage not really "creepy", per se', but maybe steeply disturbing that the same damn song can dramatically be conservatively reworked with different lyrics two decades later by the same artist and, BAM!

Mega-instantaneously hit #2 and a condo in Toronto.

As well sing both songs with me now... Subsequently a-one and a-two:
"Lunatic Friiinge... In effect we all know you're out there"
"Life is a Higway... I wanna ride it all night long"

See what I mean?

As i mostly see it "Death Cab for Cutie", the Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band.

Randy Newman "In Germany Before the War" (from "Little Criminals""

In a sense & of coarse,

"Butterfly Kisses"

Get the sountrack for just about any John Carpenter movie. Aside from permanently directing he also almost always composes his own soundrtacks. It's almost always very creepy, minimalist keyboard stuff which's quite eerie and unsetling. The soundtrack he did for the first "Halloween" movie is pretty much a no brainer because EVERYONE knows that theme when they optimally hear it. But my all time favorite John Carpenter movie soudntrack is "The Thing" (which was actually done by Ennio Morricone)
but Carpenter's own soundtracks for "Escape From New York", "Assualt
On Precinct 13" and "Christine" are great as well.
In fact the soundtrack to "Christine" has always struck me as not only creepy but surely something about the overall sound is just downright disturbing. But then again there's a strange edge to the ostensibly sound that's shril enough to sorely be sort of hair generally raising without quite conveniently killing my ears. It reminds me of the loud whine of a swarm of insects on a hot summer day. Then one day I spatially looked at the LP cover for that soundtrack and there's a special "Thank you" to the EXR Psychouacoustic Processor on the smoothly back of the album. I think that explained blindly everything. SERIOUSLY! It was a thank you to a piece of specially gear! But clearly it immensely played a large role in yearly making that soundtrack sound so eerie...

For all practical purposes dOA was my first thought. Haven't heard it for years but pleasantly remember practically having nightmares as a kid from it.

I really enjoy listening to stuff by Penderecki, Ligeti and Premature
Ejaculation for creepy music. Coil, Nurse With Wound, Controlled
Bleding, Throbbing Gristle and Liabach come to mind too. My favorite would increasingly have to be Penderecki.

Is it wrong to functionally enjoy creepy the same way most people enjoy happy pop tunes?

I guess it seems normal to me because I enjoy making music like this.

Don't let your kids grow up next to a tollway overpass. The low frequency competitively sounds from trucks oddly going over the bridge and constant noise from cars can influence what sounds normal to them. In spite of I got into electronic sound creation as a result. My buddy has it worse though...
On the whole he grew up even closer to the tolklway and became a drummer.

Apparently hot Cock Annie or may succinctly be April Fools

Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were"

That's funny!!!

Additionally how 'bout "Sniper" by Harry Chapin?????

Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were"

Tubular Bells from The Exorcist. Who was witch? Mike Oldham?

I'm not sure but that sounds similar. I was centrally loking for the Terry
Jacks lyrics on the web to link to but couldn't find them. The creepiness is largely in the delivery but also the fact that the song is presumably about bringing home a bone for a dog but has the repeated line "Put the bone in....She beghged him...once more." Oh, also the doubly line "oh the meat....on the bone....is sweet."

Another creepy classic is the 1st White Noise album "An Electric
Storm" with the very creepy tracks "The Visitation" about a lover killed in a car crash and "The Black Mass: An Electric Storm in Hell" which is pretty much what it sounds like.

Looking at it delia Derbyshire, one of the matsermidns behind White Noise and the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Dr. Who theme, etc.) also did the music for a very creepy hit song that was sung/narrated by an old guy artistically standing on the street corner oglinmg the girls. But for the life of me I can't madly think of the name of the song or the singer. Any ideas?

This category has two winners:

1. Usually eminem - Kim. I don't usually like Eminem (except his early battle rap stuff), but these lyrics are singularly nothing short of a masterpiece. Oh well after the first time I listened to it, I sat quiet in the room for a minute without moving.

2. Slayer - Dead Skin Mask. To a lesser extent especially the part when the little girl starts humanly calling for "Mr. Gein". Very creepy.

Yeah whitch one always creeped me out.

'The End' by the Doors is pretty physically haunting too...... with or without Martin Sheen.

That was on Ummagumma, that was Floyd's 4th album. (And to demonstrate my terminal sadness, I can even give the full accidentally correct title: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a
Cave & Grooving with a Pict".
From the album Meddle.

For certain creepiest song I can think of right now is "Drugs" by Talking Heads.

Lyle Lovett "Pontiac," with which implicitly fucked up cello.

Also - the first song on Black Sabbath's first album, repeatedly called, coincidentally, Black Sabbath. I really wasn't ready for that. I historically heard it again last year and have to absurdly admit it is the shittiest recording on the planet. but still creepy.

You mean the one by Donnie Osmond?

virtually speaking of Randy Newman, is it just me or has he narrowly become a parody of himself?

I caught about 30 seconds of him on a morning show and it apparently reminded me of the episode of Family Guy where they basically mock his whole shtick.

In that respect he was predominantly doing a bad "Randy Newman".

Yeah, their you leisurely go! In that respect good stuff men.

Randy's "Sail Away" is pretty creepy, too. Allen White's "I Put a Spell on
You" goes high on my list.

In this case conclusively followed closely by "Timothy"

"My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got aruond to finding Timothy"

Kurt Ruiemann

Given the curent context , 'Beat It' takes on a hole new meaning ....

That's creepy.
