"Kidnap the Sandy Claws." -- A Nightmare Before Christmas.
It's a fun perky song, but still... beating him with a stick, throwing him in the ocean, blowing him up with a cannon...

Souljacker Part 1 by the Eels. I don't much like songs about incest, but that one has a rockin' beat.

"I put my hands around your neck You wrap your arms around me."
Creepiest lyrics ever.
And then there's BNL's "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel." I think the title says it all.

"Mambo #5" must be the most sexist song to come out in 30 years. "A little Monica in your life." Total womanizing dweeb.
The second most sexist song is played on our oldie station, just to prove that they were creepy back in the 60's as well. Its the song sung by the man saying, "One day I will be the faithful husband and you can be my well cared for faithful wife, but until I settle down, just be a good girl while I go make out with anything in a skirt that looks at me." I wish I could remember those names.
The other one is Tobie Keith and Willie Nelson's "Beer for my horses". Just not even thinking about beer and horses, the line "Justice is the one thing you should always find" drives me crazy. What about compassion, love, faith, God? They don't matter if we can string up anyone we consider a bad guy. I like Willie too much for that song to be connected to him.

I like making fun of Mambo #5 when I am at buffets. "A little bit of chicken here we come, a little bit of rice yeah yeah yeah.." But, dang is that song somewhat annoying, but catchy.

Thea Gilmore, Holding Your Hand ("In your ashes and your smoke/Like the punchline to a joke/I'll be holding your hand").
Bruce Cockburn, You've Never Seen Everything ("Forsensics reveals the lady has pitchfork wounds in her chest/Pitchfork")
Grey Eye Glances, All Because of You ("Most days I'm just fine/But not today")
Agreed with Tante that people who find From a Distance a fluffy or uplifting song are not listening to the same lyrics I am.

Catchy and gets stuck in my head despite me loathing it... The award goes to "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy an some other guy.

Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" does not creep me out but it makes me all crazy. (depressed but loving it, sort of)

definitely a creepy song, from the atmospheric music to lyrics like "So lock the kids up safe tonight/and shut their eyes in the cupboards/I've got the smell of a local man/Who's got the loneliest feeling"
what a great song

Anything by the Dresden Dolls. See Girl Anachronism, for example, or Missed Me (warning: some foul language). I love the innocent way she sings the latter.
The new stuff by A.F.I. (The Art Of Drowning/Sing the Sorrow).
The track "Turned Blue" by Caroline's Spine is really creepy, too.
Rereading this topic, I saw somebody mentioned Eels. It reminded me that, really, the entire Electro-Shock Blues album fits this topic.

"Lola" by The Kinks. It's creepy in a humorous way. "Hyperballad" by Bjork, but I guess a lot of her stuff is similarly creepy. This song in particular just gives me chills.
I adore both songs though.
