Disturbing Songs
For some reason, I like to find songs that scare the bejeezus out of me, or make my little soul tremble.
Examples:
Frankie Teardrop - Suicide
The Carnival is Dead and Gone - Current 93
Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan
Careful with that axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd
Any others? Mess up the mental with music. Please.

Absolutely most disturbing song ever:
Don't bother with the video if you've never heard it before, just dim the lights and let the song play.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Komm Susser Todd from The End of Evangelion:
I guess "disturbing" is really a relative term, but half the shit Tom Waits does is disturbing as hell. So, start there.
Also, check out pretty much anything by O'Death and Tool, "Aisha" by Death In Vegas and Iggy Pop, "XYU" by Smashing Pumpkins, "Madeline Mary" by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, "Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)" by Grandaddy, "Fuzzy" by Grant Lee Buffalo, "Seed of Wonder" by Jesca Hoop, "Out Come the Wolves" by Jacob Golden, "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition is In)" by Kenny Rogers, "Slow Down" by Landscape, anything on OK Computer by Radiohead or Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson, "O Pastor" by Madredeus, "Time & Space" by Midnight Movies, and one of my personal favorites, the live version of "Little Bird" by Neutral Milk Hotel.
Lots more to come later. I like this thread idea.
I havn't found it yet, but I SWEAR there is some kind of subliminal message in this song. I've known it since I was a child and there is nothing anyone can say to change my mind.
Ever heard of The Residents? Their music is kinda creepy. Listen to this,
A friend once recommended angels of light, coil and current 93 as really disturbing music. I didn't really get into them. I've seen people freak out and cry when I played them Nurse With Wound's "A Sucked Orange." The residents are good, but there demos are the most disturbing. If you like weird prog rock I'd recommend Rational Diet or Bob Drake. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum has their moments, but only in a post modernist irony/dada kind of way. Stravinsky was really good too.
None of this disturbs me, but I could see it disturbing some.

This, however, disturbs me to no end:

I knew he was on a lot of drugs, but it never really hit home until I heard him sing.

The Residents are great.
A lot of Aaron Funk's work is quite terrifying.

This one, too:
Alecia....wow. I grew up with that song.
I nominate this one:
THATS SO +3 STILETTO DUDE
None of these links are showing up on my computer. For weeks now I feel like I've been missing out, but never more than just now.
fuck frankie-marilyn manson and the spooky kids-smells like children.
this might be a reflection of the first shiver ever experienced.
my ability to be original in all confirmation and definition of the word desperately worries me.

I've always found "Knoxville Girl" somewhat disturbing, but in a way that I love. Nick Cave does a really nice version but if you've ever seen "Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus", a documentary of sorts about the deep south, these 4 middle aged ladies sing it a cappella in some random truck stop place and it's super creepy.
Omg! I found it!

This signature does not quote anything. Evar.
'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday is like being sung a ghost story. And for some reason, Fleetwood Mac's 'Tusk' has always freaked me out! Probably the drums.
This isn't disgustingly disturbing...but it's quite disturbing to me.
and I'm iffy to post a video because my sounds still broken but here are the lyrics.
Lords of Acid - Spank My Booty
Spank my booty
Come on and spank my booty
Spank my booty
Spank my booty real good
When I was a kid
I was a lazy child
Always skipping school
I was really wild
My poor old dad
He went insane
Cause Im his little bitch
And in love with pain
So my daddy he spanked my butt
He turned me into his super spanky slut
I begged him for his mercy with tears in my eyes
He didnt know that he just showed me paradise
Spank my booty
Come on and spank my booty
Spank my booty
Spank my booty real good
Then I met my boyfriend
He was almost eighty five
Crawling on the floor
He knew all about life
I was feeling horny
And just couldnt resist
I had to have him hit me with his manly fist
I started bleeding badly
Love at first fight
Since that romantic moment
I crawled by his side
But just the other day
I hit him right back
The poor old bastard
Got himself a heart attack (heart attack)
Spank my booty
Come on and spank my booty
Spank my booty
Spank my booty real good
Im a little older
Addicted to the whip
When Im chained to the wall
I feel mighty hip
Rings in my nipples
Metal in my cheek
Im the queen of the club
I look really shiek
I need to be whipped
Mmm I love that stuff
A good old fashioned beating
Cant get enough
I still thank my dad
On my bare two knees
Ill crawl daddy
Come and spank me please
"Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it's to seem long. But in the event, who wants one?"
"I do," Dunbar told him.
"Why?" Clevinger asked.
"What else is there?"
- Catch 22
hamburger lady by throbbing gristle
Stagger Lee by Nick Cave is fucked up in the best of ways.
Also have to mention these creepy lyrics to Warren Zevon's surprisingly upbeat
'Excitable Boy':
'He took little Susie to the junior prom (excitable boy they all said). And he raped her and killed her then he took her home...'
'After ten long years they let him out of the home...he dug up her grave and filled a cage with her bones...'
Doesn't disturb ME, per se, but I could see a more normal person taking issue with it!
That made me think of What What In the Butt, which is disturbing, but also stupid-disturbing.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Yes!
Guapo's Jeweled Turtle
Chilling to listen to. Not to mention one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever fucking heard.

The most disturbing song I've ever heard is the "She bangs" by William Hung. I just can't find a good quality video of it on youtube. 
"Diary of a Madman" by Gravediggaz
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember... that is the illusion.
Almost anything off of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads is good.
And if you really listen to Toadies's Rubberneck - almost every song is about Rape. So that can be pretty disturbing... unless you like that sort of thing.
I can't believe no one's mentioned this:
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
Pedophile Rock always does the trick:
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl,
You're much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, Oh,
So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh,
Young girl
...why do I feel like this is the last song JonBenet Ramsey heard?
You all need this whole LP.
Horrific Child - L'etrange Mr. Whinster,

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
Then you kids go on ahead and browse that whole blog.

i understand this video even without subtitles because i am awesome.
i'm not a big fan of Parokya ni Edgar but i like their one song, Harana. i'm more like an Eraserheads kind of guy.
Check Nina Simone's version. Even more haunting.
Fancy - Reba Mcentire
Absolutely disturbing.
"Fancy" is a Bobby Gentry song from '69, also done admirably well some time in the '90s by the Geraldine Fibbers.

Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses
It was creepy enough being associated with Buffalo Bill, but after seeing it played over this . . . ugh. There really are monsters out there.

This song really grew on me but my ex found it creepy as hell... then again she found that The Wizard of Oz was as equally creepy. So now I'm stuck wondering if she was just easily freaked out or if I'm.... o_0
"A new born child has no teeth."
"A goose has no teeth."
"A rose has no teeth."
This last at any rate
one would like to say
is obviously true!
It is even surer that a goose has none.
And yet it is none so clear.
For where should a rose's teeth have been?
The goose has none in its jaw.
And neither, of course, has it any in its wings;
but no one means that when he says it has no teeth.
Why, suppose one were to say:
the cow chews its food and then dungs the rose with it,
so the rose has teeth in the mouth of a beast.
This would not be absurd,
because one has no notion in advance where to look for teeth in a rose.
(Connexion with "pain in someone else's body".)
Hi, How Are You?
