Are there any songs/pieces of music that give you the creeps?

[CreepyPaper]

The War of The Worlds soundtrack scares the hell out of me. The Red Weed from that was used during my music exam in High School and I came close to having a panic attack as it had such an effect upon me.

Likewise I had no idea that Forever Autumn was used in WOTW but the first time I heard it, it really spooked me.

Another song that makes me feel strange is Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies. I don't know why but there's something sinister about it.

Does anyone else experience this effect with certain songs?

Mad World from the end of Donnie Darko.
It unsettles me.

Send in the Clowns, it makes me feel sick.

Running up That Hill by Kate Bush gives me the horrors. I

LizBennet I can see why it would make you feel strange.

tillytoodles1 That's an interesting one. I hope that you don't have to hear it too often. It must be horrible.

The Police Don’t stand so close to me 🤢

I’m the same with all of War of the Worlds soundtrack- spooked me when I was 8 and still can’t listen over 40 years later.
Also hate Tubular Bells

God yes Tubular Bells!

The music used for the tv show silent witness. Can’t listen to it at all!

Hazard by Richard Marx is another though I guess it's supposed to be slightly creepy/unsettling.

Little Susie by Michael Jackson

Jeepers Creepers. Ever since I watched the film.

The one from insidious, tip toe throughhhhh the tuuuuuulips 🎵😱

Tiptoe through the daisies or whatever the creepy song from insidious was

Haha cross post and yes it’s tulips!

Oh I hate that Insidious song!!!!

I feel a little better now that I know that I'm not alone in this. I can understand why so many of these songs make people feel odd.

I keep remembering more but Toy Soldiers by Martika also makes me feel strange as does Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega.

For ages Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones did because it was the end credits of the Devil’s advocate, which I watched when I was about 10 and was severely unsettled by it.

That Chris de Burgh spaceman Christmas song. Absolutely hate it, it sounds so bleak.

That tear you apart song in one episode of American horror story hotel

Agreed with Tiny Tim!

I hate anything by David Byrne and Talking heads.

There is one where he is talking not singing and it’s like nails on a blackboard.

I’m fine now but as a small child, Mouldy old dough by Lieutenant Pigeon used to scare me!

HATE tubular bells - even DP turns it off if we hear the first few notes - not idea why but it really upsets me!

Fire starter twisted fire starter- just awful shouting and screeching. I can’t stand awful noise like that.

Jaws

Another Police one - Every Breath You Take. Stalkerish.

Loved the Tears for Fears version of Mad World but for some reason the Gary Jules version just freaks me out though I cannot explain why.
