Not quite correct. Anyway-it's off their 4th album.
(Mark Steven Brooks/Elaterium Music)

Dozens of songs by 'Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel'
come to mind.


(Mark Steven Brooks/Elaterium Music)

I just heard a tune by Ween called "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)"
that's a f*cking freak show. Worst of all, I cannot get the toy piano
riff they utilize (to great effect) out of my head...

LOL, my vote goes squarely on Zappa's "Help I'm a Rock" which I thought
said "help on the rock" when I was little and it scared the bejesus out of my
sister and I.

Most of the good ones, such as "Timothy" have already been
mentioned in this thread.
In a (AFAIK) toungue-in-cheek vein, there's Darryl Rhoades from
"Burgers From Heaven":
http://www.music-comedy.com/store/necrophilia.mp3
On this page http://www.music-comedy.com/store/burgers.htm the song
is titled "She's a morticians' [sic] dream come true" but I always
thought the title was just "Necrophillia."
In the unintended category, someone already mentioned "Cake out in
the Rain" and a few others. There's also "Tiptoe through the Tulips."

Hi De HO!

Well actually when it comes to my grandfather, though "St. James" is
right up there with up there, with "Kickin' the Gong Around" I think
his creepiest has got to be "The Ghost of Smokey Joe". It you've
never heard this one you have GOT to check it out. That is one of the
wildest tunes ever, I know of no other swing tune were a dead mans
ghost is singing the lyric. It's somewhat like "Sympathy for the
Devil" but the lyrics and arrangement are much more artful. Granddad
had more death and dead tunes than any other swing artist by far.
It's yet another of countless examples of how the Calloway Orchestra
was and continues to be the bluesyest of all swing bands.

I cannot recall which tune it was, but I DO recall seeing an old Betty Boop
cartoon where Cab not only provided a VERY SPOOKY soundtrack, but IIRC,
The Fleisher Bros. roto-scoped Cab's dance steps and used them for their
"ghost". One of animation's greatest moments IMO.

I really enjoy listening to stuff by Penderecki, Ligeti and Premature
Ejaculation for creepy music. Coil, Nurse With Wound, Controlled
Bleeding, Throbbing Gristle and Liabach come to mind too. My favorite
would have to be Penderecki.

Is it wrong to enjoy creepy the same way most people enjoy happy pop
tunes?

I guess it seems normal to me because I enjoy making music like this.

Don't let your kids grow up next to a tollway overpass. The low
frequency sounds from trucks going over the bridge and constant noise
from cars can influence what sounds normal to them. I got into
electronic sound creation as a result. My buddy has it worse though...
He grew up even closer to the tollway and became a drummer.

Oddly enough, I was talking to a singer yesterday about doing "Kickin' The

There have been a lot of great suggestions here, and I'd like to add a
few:

"In Every Dreamhome a Heartache" Roxy Music - how many songs can you
name that are about an obsession with inflatable dolls? Great lyric: "I
blew up your body but you blew my mind"

"Alifib/Alifie/Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road" Robert Wyatt - Rock
Bottom - what would you write if you had just been paralyzed from the
waist down?

"DOA" Bloodrock - the ultimate cheesy, sludgy "spooky" rock song

There's this song I have on tape, I only caught the last 20-25
seconds, and I have no idea who it is, but it seems to be a
matter-of-fact description of a dead girl on the side of a road? It's
sort of 60's lite sounding and the lyrics that I can remember go
something like:

A young girl
A young girl of 16
Child of springtime, still green
Lying there by the road....

(in a whisper) DEAD.

Song ends on DEAD. Anybody know who this is?

It's Noel Harrison (son of Rex Harrison)

I've always been partial to Pink Floyd's
"Come in Number 51, Your Time is Up" from the Zabriskie Point soundtrack.
Or anything by Jandek.

Randy Newmans first album. "Lucinda". About a guy who falls in love with
dead body he finds on the beach. Another one more cool than creepy on the
same LP is "Burn Down The Cornfeild".

Patric

Lyle Lovett "Pontiac," with that ****ed up cello.

Also - the first song on Black Sabbath's first album, called,
coincidentally, Black Sabbath. I really wasn't ready for that. I heard

Warm Leatherette by The Normal is pretty creepy, or at least sick. I've
thought before that if I wasn't worried about the potential consequences it
would be a hoot to pick up hitch hikers while playing a loop of this song.
Don't say anything to them for a while and then start increasing the
vehicle's speed as you rock back and forth harder and harder to the beat.

Lyrics & copy; 1978 Daniel Miller and Mute Records

See the breaking glass
In the underpass
See the breaking glass
In the underpass

Warm leatherette

Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel
Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel

Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette

Warm leatherette
Melts on your burning flesh
You can see your reflection
In the luminescent dash

Warm leatherette

A tear of petrol
Is in your eye
The hand brake
Penetrates your thigh
Quick -- Let's make love
Before you die
On warm leatherette

Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette

Join the car crash set



And here's a tidbit from Ghosts by the Strawbs I've always thought was quite
creepy. Really great imagery.

THE LIFE AUCTION
(Cousins/Hawken/Lambert)
Part a) Impressions Of Southall From The Train

Row upon row
Of drab colourless houses
Bowing low
Before high rise blocks

Varicosed housewives
With sweaty armpits
Scrimping and scrubbing
Their husbands' socks

A limp polluted flag
Flutters sadly in its death throes
While crippled trees in leg irons
Wearily haul themselves
Through another diluted acid day.

Also anything by Charles Manson (he has 4 albums out I believe).

Actually, one of the creepiest songs ever is 'Mind Flowers' off the 2nd
Ultimate Spinach album. The original vinyl version especially.

"Put the bone in, she yelled at the store

Put the bone in she yelled out once more"

I'm not sure but that sounds similar. I was looking for the Terry
Jacks lyrics on the web to link to but couldn't find them. The
creepiness is largely in the delivery but also the fact that the song
is presumably about bringing home a bone for a dog but has the
repeated line "Put the bone in....She begged him...once more." Oh,
also the line "oh the meat....on the bone....is sweet."

Another creepy classic is the 1st White Noise album "An Electric
Storm" with the very creepy tracks "The Visitation" about a lover
killed in a car crash and "The Black Mass: An Electric Storm in Hell"
which is pretty much what it sounds like.

Delia Derbyshire, one of the masterminds behind White Noise and the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Dr. Who theme, etc.) also did the music for
a very creepy hit song that was sung/narrated by an old guy standing
on the street corner ogling the girls. But for the life of me I can't
think of the name of the song or the singer. Any ideas?

Also, there was a song back in the
early 80's called Lunatic Fringe which was rather disturbing.

OK, Deej, you've had enough... time to turn off the tap & cut you off if you
think 'Lunatic Fringe' was disturbing! LOL That song was kinda mellow, IMO.

As a sidebar, I'd like to point out that that song was done by "Red Rider"
featuring Tom Cochrane, and if you remember "Life is a Highway" in like '92 or
thereabouts, you'll realize it's (melodically, anyway) damn near the SAME EXACT
****ING SONG but just 20 years later (which is, admittedly, a pretty good
trick, if you can pull it off). So... not really "creepy", per se', but maybe
disturbing that the same damn song can be reworked with different lyrics two
decades later by the same artist and, BAM!

Mega-hit #2 and a condo in Toronto.

Sing both songs with me now... a-one and a-two:
"Lunatic Friiinge... we all know you're out there"
"Life is a Higway... I wanna ride it all night long"

See what I mean?
