This should do it:


This song makes me laugh more than unsettles me tbh. Especially when he gets all insistent about it ~ 0:26.

This one creeped me out though. It's just very twisted (WARNING: racist, sexist and violent lyrics):


Edit: The second one is also quite musical by their standards...

First off there's this song by The Gathering:


Other than that, pretty much everything by Buckethead is unsettling in one way or another, for example this one he did with the vocalist of System of a Down. Admittedly, the videoclip helps up the creepiness by a significant amount:

Assuming that 'eerie' and 'disturbing' are not to be exclusively applied to 'strange' stuff that cannot be enjoyed,

I'd like to share these with you:

<spoiler=Die Form/Aube, 1994><youtube=-_JL_KZ2PL4>
<spoiler=Diamanda Loves You><youtube=jwYoABO7l58>

Disturbing, but... stimulating. Yes, I prefer those to ADHD. ASLR. ASMR. Blast my brain into obedience, conformity, happiness to be alive.

For this thread, I would like for people to just stay on topic and shut the hell up for anything that is beyond the scope of the subject. Ah, *sigh*, where's my Tetragrammaton when I really need to summon the tooth fairy of common sense and braindeath.

Respect to the person that linked to Jim Goad/Boyd Rice, but he's not half as disturbing as the people hatin' on him.

Every time that I hear this version of the Rodgers and Hart song, "Little Girl Blue" by Nina Simone, it gives me goose bumps. This particular version deviates from the album that I have, but it is close enough. I saw, as I looked for a rendition of the song on youtube that Janice Joplin did one. While she has a powerful voice, the Simone version has an ethereal poignancy to it that resonates with the lyrics.

Sorry about the embed, can't seem to get it to work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT_Z-D31vbU&feature=share&list=LLWtGsSCfAjCtryHW-Pm8E8Q

Couldn't think of any unsettling songs so I'm linking this truly unsettling short video instead. Enjoy!

The Beach Boys really caught me off guard with this one
Also ELO has a pretty spooky short song at the end of El Dorado that gives me the spooks a little.

Three-way tie between "Mother" by the Police, "The Law Of The Plague" by Diamanda Galas, and "Black Angels" by George Crumb.

Múm takes the cake for me.



This one just has a weird as all hell video:

There's another song by the band 'Mar' called 'Farewell' which kept me up at night once too, but I can't find that anywhere on the internet.

Wheeeeee.

"Silently I enter through the broken basement window now to wait
It's twelve o'clock the time has come to ascend the staircase to the hunted
One
Make way to the second floor right outside your open bedroom door
One last time to sleep in peace unaware of brutal things that
Will be done
To you after you wake"

I'm a big fan of Voltaire, a Goth/Cabaret/whatever the hell genre musician who routinely has songs about taboos. I mean who else would write a song about a guy on trial for having sex with corpses and the guy's defense is, "Only dead girls like me!" I like that song. It's not really unsettling, more intriguing. He's got plenty of songs like that.

But then there's Cantina. Oh sweet merciful Poseidon, then there's Cantina.

To start off, Cantina is a Country/Western song...on an album that has NOTHING to do with the genre, and to add to that, this song is about the Cantina from Star Wars. So that's a Goth musician doing a Country Western about a Sci-fi series. But wait, there's more! Upon entering the cantina, the narrator(for lack of a better term) of the song is conscripted into brutal, graphic, utterly disgusting, pun-filled, homosexual, interspecies prostitution. And it goes on for 7 minutes. One cannot truly grasp how...wonderfully disarming this song is without having actually heard it.

Give it a go.

Not as creepy as most of them here, but it still feels very much... unhinged, I guess.
Fitting for the game.

Edit:
Nevermind, just remembered Shadow of Chernobyl.
This music makes me physically uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure that's as unsettling as it gets.
Go to 2:45 in the second one. I dare you.

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. I only find it unsettling because it's about something that actually happened.

The is probably one of the more unsettling videos I've ever seen, though the song doesn't really matter.


You want distrubing songs, try just about anything by Anal **** or GG Allin. The content is usually just pretty stupid, but the fact that they even exist...
With the header image on that youtube video, I either REALLY

DO

or

DO NOT

want to proceed and watch it... I just... can't... figure it out.
