Creepiest song ever?
- Thread starter bholder
- Start date
Eva O. scares me, but I don't dare post any of her videos here. Her material is disturbing.
Also early Sisters of Mercy was mega-creepy, one that comes to mind was a song about being buried:
Holy Hell, I'm getting mega-goose-pimples listening to that just now!
honorable mention, a lot of stuff by Type O Negative

Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree.
Loved the music, learned the song, got my mates to learn it, then listened to the lyrics! Disturbing story of a young serial killer starting his career.

"The Girl From Ipanema" has a creep factor.
It was written by two guys in their mid-thirties about ogling a 17-year-old girl.
Throbbing Gristle - The Hamburger Lady
Golden Throats - Peter Wyngarde
How many people involved with the process of composing, performing, producing and distributing this song thought it was anything other than gratuitous trash, with not a hint of cleverness to redeem it? That's the creepiest aspect, aside from the song itself.
Time Zones - Negativland
I've listened to this track many times, and the guy who's calling in to the talk show makes me squirm a bit every time. You may not notice the droning sounds in the background the first run-through, but it really helps set the mood.

Having grown up during the cold war, The Sun is Burning from a Simon & Garfunkel has to make the list
The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
So Anyway, the first band I was in played DOA by Bloodrock.

Sue, I got the job
We'll buy the house
You'll need to rest
But now we'll make it
Sue, the clinic called
The x-ray's fine
I brought you home,
I just said home
Sue, you said you wanted writ
"Sue the virgin" on your stone
For your grave
Why too dark to speak the words?
'Fore I know that you have a son
Oh, folly, Sue
Ride the train, I'm far from home
In a season of crime none need atone,
I kissed your face
Sue, I pushed you down beneath the weeds,
Endless faith in hopeless deeds,
I kissed your face
I touched your face
Sue, goodbye
Sue, I found your note
That you wrote last night
It can't be right
You went with him
Sue, I never dreamed
I'm such a fool
Right from the start
You went with that clown
"Traditional creepy" describes most of the songs on "Welcome to My Nightmare" by Alice Cooper, particularly the title track, "Cold Ethyl", and "Steven".
Creepy in a very different way is "Someone Like You" by Adele. One person's unrequited love song is another person's creepy stalker song.
Edit: I forgot "Dig it Up" by the Hoodoo Gurus. Humorously creepy...

Pantera - Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is pretty creepy
This is actually about being a poor kid in a rich kid college. The poor guys were considered creeps and not given the time of day by the pretty rich girls and boys.
