Yeah, simple thread idea, but what songs creep you out or disturb you, and why?
This can be because of lyrical content, instruments, the way things sound, or even for no reason at all. Perhaps there is some big back story, or perhaps you were listening to the radio before a song came on that just hit you. As human beings, we react to different things in strange ways, and one of those ways is with irrational fear.
For me, it's this song:
I couldn't even bring myself to click on it in order to get the code. I had to copy the URL and delete the bits I didn't need. I don't want any part of this song.
There's a story behind this, a real reason why this song creeps me out like it does. You see, the very first time I heard this song was when I was utterly exhausted after a stay at a friend's house. During that stay, I had found a website called Fake A Wish, where you entered your name and it put you into a fake news story. The one I got talked about a "Suicide Site" where I would supposedly do a live broadcast of me committing suicide with some big crushing thing. The picture of "me" in the story was in silhouette, and when you clicked on the site in the fake story, you were taken to a page that said it crashed due to too much traffic. Stupid, harmless, right?
Well, at the time I thought it was. It wasn't until I had gotten home (and heard "My Humps" on the radio) that it really started to hit me how freaking creepy it would be if it were real. In my delirium, I started imagining all sorts of disturbing things until I finally just got to my room and passed out in the bed.
Fast forward a bit. A few weeks later, I'm sitting in the car, when "My Humps" comes on. Immediately, I am seized by a wave of unexplainable fear. To this day, hearing this song reminds me of large crushing machines, and suicide, and delusions.
Not fun.
So, that's mine. What are yours?
