Creepy/Disturbing songs

Post by **deject** » September 21st, 2006, 19:21

I want to do a radio show of songs that are just downright creepy, but I need suggestions. By "creepy" I mean songs that just bug you out when you listen to them. I'm shooting for the effect that Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy video acheives, but obviously it won't be video.

Spectre vs Rector by The Fall - a story about demonic possession across 7 scenes.

Impression of J Temperance, also by The Fall - about a dog breeder who is shunned by the local community after one his dogs gives birth to a pup that looks just like him.

some Portishead songs like Mysterons or Wandering Star are slightly creepy. Maybe not creepy enough for what you are looking for.

Fantomas has a very creepy sound. Check out Delirium Cordia or Director's Cut. Some songs off of the Mr. Bungle cd Disco Volante are also fairly creepy. My ex couldn't listen to one song it freaked her out the bad. Take note both are bands that Mike Patton formed, he also has a solo cd Adult Themes For Voice, which is just him, a mic and a 4 track recorder in hotel rooms. Very odd, some very dark, and all very very insane. [/url]

hmmmm, I think I am going the wrong route here. How about songs that aren't necessarily disturbing musically, but just have some very disturbing lyrics. Lyrics that just make you go WTF...

How about 1-800-Suicide or Defective Trip by the Gravediggaz? Both pretty damn weird.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head but most stuff by Nine Inch Nails, Ministry or Revolting Cocks (anything on the Devotion label really) might fit the bill.

Dead Kennedys did some odd stuff: Dear Abby, Holiday in Cambodia, I Kill Children, Kill the Poor, etc.

And if you want WTF, you need Lightning Bolt. There are lyrics there somewhere I assure you, I don't think anyone knows what they are though.

That

I should do a show of such stuff again, actually as music, rather than a wtf.

Lots of Nile tracks have high WTF factor, but largely due to them being sung in ancient sumerian and the like.

Theres a few Moloko tracks with extremely wierd lyrics.
Ooh, and you dont get a lot odder than Ween. "Im waving my dick in the wind" and "AIDS! doo be doo be doo. AIDS!" have funny wierd, and there is also a song with a small child complaining that spinal meningitis hurts and how scared he is of dying. That *really* gives me the fear.

Hmm, I'm sorry but in that case I'm going to have to suggest the entire Fall back catalogue. Featuring such gems as...

New Face in Hell - a government conspiracy is uncovered by a radio enthusiast.

Prole Art Threat - GENT IN SAFE-HOUSE: Get out the pink press threat file
and Brrrptzzap* the subject. (* = scrambled)

Jawbone and the Air-Rifle - a rabbit hunter is cursed by a grave-keeper

Wings! - time travel and paradoxes

Elves - a song about whiskey, the music industry and, well, elves.

Athlete Cured - bizarre story about a German athlete with a strange illness

Plus many, many more (86 albums and counting pop pickers!)

Mine were, here are the lyrics for Apex by the Black Dahlia Murder:

bury them all beneath heaping shovel fulls of lime
in shallow graves the shreds of flesh dissolve with time
the stench of burning human flesh, a makeshift cremation
a shriveling fragment of death's grand design
i insist -- the pleasure's all mine
with orgasmic bliss the human body is consumed
the loins are charred, the slabs of mean cut off and ground
with zeal i dine upon the skin, enthralled with elation
souls of my victims within me, entombed
palette wet with atrocity
i relish the last look in your eyes
clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
perfection; a murder divine
i hold the secrets of the dead within my grasp
as i poke and prod, your precious world is painted black
(???) of your fate, a twisted creation
until i've met my fancy i'll hammer and hack
palette wet with atrocity
i relish the last look in your eyes
as i'm blissfully showered in blood
i shake with violent rapture as i gaze at my delicious feast
i cannot stop my salivation
my addiction to murder has peaked
kneel only to my sick fixations
a complete symphony of your screams
oh the cruelty of death!
i wield infinite
lured by the cries of your damnation
i collect ornaments of the dead
skin tingling with anticipation
i sever the last victim's head to be put on display
this mortal coil has born unto me death's secrets
this forensic inquisition, orgasmic
another trophy of my bloodied psychosis
another body to mangle; to ravage and explore
palette wet with atrocity
i relish the last look in your eyes
clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
perfection; a murder divine..

and then all the evil shit at the end says:

When the bleeding slows, preparation for decapitation can be started. Continue the cut to the throat around the entire neck, from the jawline to the back of the skull. Once muscle and ligament have been sliced away, the head can be cleanly removed by gripping it on either side and twisting it off, separation occurring where the spinal cord meets the skull. This is indicative of the method to be used for dividing other bones or joints, in that the meat should generally be cut through first with a knife, and the exposed bone then separated with a saw or cleaver. The merits of keeping the skull as a trophy are debatable for two principal reasons. First, a human skull may call suspicious attention to the new owner. Secondly, thorough cleaning is difficult due to the large brain mass, which is hard to remove without opening the skull. The brain is not good to eat. Removing the tongue and eyes, skinning the head, and placing it outside in a wire cage may be effective. The cage allows small scavengers such as ants and maggots to cleanse the flesh from the bones, while preventing it being carried off by larger scavengers, such as dogs and children. After a sufficient period of time, you may retrieve the skull and boil it in a dilute bleach solution to sterilize it and wash away any remaining tissue
