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

"Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault
He means so much to me.
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married..... [gasp, wheeze] " *thud*

Hee.

Oh, gawd, is that the "Young girl, get out of my mind" guy? 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.

In the song This Girl Is a Woman Now, I think he changed his mind...

Sarah McLachlan's Possession, which was based on letters from a stalker, used to creep me out and just make me sad.

Someone upthread mentioned Phil Collins's In the Air Tonight. Yep, also creepy.

Woah. Somehow, I never knew that about "Possession." Now I am definitely creeped out.

Going back to the theme of upbeat music/downer lyrics

I give you Love Vigilantes by New Order. Sung from the perspective of a dead soldier. Eek! (And they used a cover of that song on House recently.)

I much prefer the Stewie Griffin version.

While we're on the subject of Pink Floyd, when I was a kid I was dragged along to a laser show set to the The Wall album. It scared the hell out of me. Particularly "Is There Anybody Out There?" It was many years before I'd willingly listen to a Pink Floyd song again, and I'm still somewhat disturbed by The Wall.

Oh, me too. Back in the late 80s some friends had "Pink Floyd The Wall" on video, and one of them decided we didn't need to listen to the movie, we'd just play the album while watching the movie. I ended up going outside to smoke cigarettes.

"She's Having My Baby" is a song that is creepy to me. Was that Neil Diamond?

Another was a song from the musical Gigi -- saw the movie rather than the stage play when young, and there's some song Maurice Chevalier sings to Gigi that came across as a little too familiar, if that makes sense.

Paul Anka. That song is so gross.

"Thank Heaven for Little Girls." 'Cos they'll be BIG girls someday. Yeah, I dig me some Chevalier, but this is creeeeepy.

"The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence is one creepy song. Especially this part of the song:

"Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
And he saw Andy lying on the floor
In a puddle of blood
And he started to shake"

CREEPY.

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!

That one does creep me out so much as crack me up, because of the opening lines:
Daddy was a cop
On the East Side of Chicago

Because the East Side of Chicago is a big-ass lake, and I always get this mental image of the cops in scuba suits....
