Creepiest song ever?



I'm not sure if the bizarre backstory behind this group is real but it makes for music that's extremely disturbing.

In relatively normal music:


Brian Eno. Good one! I feel like a lot of the songs listed here are just going for shock value. But this manages to be creepy without a single word.

In a similar vein The Hut of Baba Yaga by Mussorgsky is pretty creepy.
 
So this might not be creepy, but the short lyric "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces" with the almost chainsaw sound of the pedal steel guitar and the driving bass, I could easily see this in a horror film.

That bass in the beginning...dayum. Talk about setting a tone.
