I almost forgot: "Timothy"! I can listen to all kinds of awful shit, but that song is so fucking awful and creepy that I can't even put it on a Bad Music playlist. *shudder*

How about every hit single by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap? It's like listening to Roman Polanski's mixtape, for chrissakes...

Ick, indeed! Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon is also creepy for the same reason, though I do love the Urge Overkill cover. When I want Halloween Creepy, I get some Bauhaus, like Bela Lugosi's Dead. Or Voodoo Dolly by Siouxsie & the Banshees. Depeche Mode's Fly On The Windscreen is also pretty frakking creepy. And Alice's House by the Psychedelic Furs. And Planet Claire by the B-52's used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid. I love that song! But yeah, super-creepy. Same for No. 1 Crush by Garbage. |

A more recent one is Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart". Stalker much?

This is an older song but I've also been slightly disturbed by Run Joey Run. |

Leader of the Pack. I mean you can't really dance to it or anything, and it's not very romantic with the guy being killed and all.

Ick, indeed! Well, at least the guy tells the girl to leave since she's too young which Polanski would never do. But, yeah, still creepy since it's obvious he still wants her even though he knows she's a kid. "Muskrat Love" creeps me out. Who in their right mind would go, "Hey you know what would make a great love song? Muskrats getting it on!" Many moons ago Toby Keith released a song called "Who's That Man". The song is about a guy who parks in front of his old house and just watches his ex-wife, kids, and ex's new husband. If that isn't bad enough in the chorus he refers to the ex has his wife and refers the house is his. Dude, she divorced you. She isn't your wife anymore. The house isn't yours either. You are clearly supposed to feel bad for the guy but it's hard to. It's suggested he doesn't see the kids much (if at all) and that the kids have been through hell. Add in the stalking and well something tells me the wife was right to leave him. |

Going back to the theme of upbeat music/downer lyrics, Billy, Don't Be a Hero by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods is a perfect example. A song about a young soldier going off to war and dying a hero's death, despite his fiancee's pleas to keep his head down and return to her--and you can dance to it! It was written by the same guys that wrote The Night Chicago Died by Paper Lace, which is a song about a policeman's family the night of a Mafia raid--and you can dance to that one, too!
Pretty much anything Toby Keith does, musical or not, creeps me out.

Vehicle
Hey well, I'm a friendly stranger in a black Sedan
Won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I'm a lovable man
And I can take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle, baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle, woman
But I'm not sure that you know
That I love ya (love ya)
I need ya (need ya)
I want ya, got to have you, child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
This thing actually made it to #2 on the charts in the early 70's.
