CREEPIEST songs?

[TriggerWarning]

When I was growing up, I remember hearing the song "Go Away, Little Girl" (by Steve Lawrence, I think). I'd consider it to be from my parents generation. I guess that creepiness isn't bound to any one generation.

The Beatles were into child molestation lyrics:

I saw her Standing There has the lyric Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean
.

Going back further to the 50's rock stars you have major rock stars like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis who were actually doing underage girls. Or Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin who at age 28 took his 14 year old girlfriend on tour with him.

Its kind of weird how many of our music stars were in to underage kids and how society largely just shrugs.

True, that.

When I was growing up, Jimmy Buffet released "Livingston Saturday Night"; which got a lot of of local airplay because there is a town called Livingston just up the road (not the same place the song was written about). There were a couple of lines that always made me wonder what Jimmy was thinking:

"You got to listen to the sound of the hot country band
Two heels a shuffling on the dance floor sand
Sing a song play some pong, shoot a little pool
Hitting on the honeys right out of high school
Fifteen may get you twenty, that's all right
Cause they'll be rocking and a rolling on a Livingston Saturday night"

Really Jimmy? What makes it "all right"? lol

When it comes to inappropriate, I would say this one qualifies:

"I'm on fire" by Bruce Springsteen

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh Oh Oh
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
Oh Oh Oh
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

Oh Oh Oh
I'm on fire

In the autumn of his career, Brill Building singer Chuck Jackson covered Effie's big ballad from Dreamgirls "And I'm telling you I'm not going" as "And I'm telling you, you're not going!" which made it really sound like he kept his duet partner on the track, a young Angie Stone, locked up in a basement somewhere.

This one is a fictional look at stalking:

"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie

"There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily...."

[From The Shadows]

"I'm on fire" by Bruce Springsteen

I always thought this was more like flirty banter because the woman who is taking her car in is obviously well over 18 in the vid. I think "Daddy" being "home" represents her husband and that I take this as code. Does her Daddy (Husband) treat her good? Little girl = baby which itself is what men and women get called in songs and of course they aren't. Just like in some songs written by women to adult men have "my sweet boy." Maybe I'm wrong though and giving him too much credit?

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds has a lot of dark and creepy songs to do with death and some of it murder like "Weeping Song," "Henry Lee" and "Where The Wild Roses Grow."

Now more pervy songs: Winger - "Seventeen." Good thing I don't like them.

[Scott Taylor]

Well, there always Kinko the Kid-loving Clown by Ogden Edsel

And Christian Boy by Robert Seidler.

Then there is I Love Crackheads by Big Skidmark.

Hooboy there are a lot actually.

[AnthonyO'Brien]

...yeah lotsa "little girl this, little girl that" songs.

Sting musta been big on stalking, not only did he watch every breathe you take he'd also "resolve to call her up, a THOUSAND times a day"....

[Javasaurus]

Then there is "L.A County" by Lyle Lovett; where the stalking ends brutally:


"And the lights of L.A. County
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side

And as she stood there at the altar
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a'shining
Like I'd dreamed of all my life

And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye..."

(Fortunately he has lots of other songs that aren't so dark)

[chachi]

Sister Christian by Night Ranger... Lead singer talking about how hot his underage sister is, and not "giving it up" before you're ready. Them boys don't want to play no more...

[From The Shadows]

Actually, it was meant to be stalkery but it was supposedly a combination of things and he actually meant for people to get a sinister feeling from it. Besides a stalker, it was also inspired by what he was reading in the paper about the government and about the deteriation of the band. He didn't understand why people saw it as a love/romance song and why it was many peoples wedding songs and questioned their relationships. I don't know if it was just a coincidence that this was written after he divorced his wife. Later as he got older he relented and said that people can choose what the songs about individually. I'm sticking with stalking myself by whoever.

No people this isn't a romance song its a dark/scarey song. Yeesh. Ya scare me.

[Jack Dracula]

Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge is pretty creepy.

[Robotman]

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Oingo Boingo’s “I love little girls.”

“This little girl was just too little too little too little.”

[LifeIsILL]

The band GGUW, they make some evil satanic stuff.
