[QUOTE=Zoggie] Well, it’s not his fault–Daddy didn’t give affection. And the boy was something that mommy wouldn’t wear. But seriously–he doesn’t seem weird to me, just horribly neglected and badly treated. [/QUOTE] Even though he drew pictures of him on mountain tops, with dead people below? ---

Sonny of Sonny Came Home by Shawn Colvin seemed pretty fucking odd. And what about that crazy bitch Luka who lived up on the second floor? ---

Sugar’s “A Good Idea” - sounds like a decent enough song at first, a couple in love goes down to the water, at his suggestion they lie down in it and let the water flow over them… > [@](#): > > He held her head high in his hands > He held her down deep in the stream > He saw the bubbles and matted hair > Mixed in with seaweed > She started to scream ---

[QUOTE=Krokodil] Wasn’t Kinko the Kid Loving Clown from The Groove Tube? [/QUOTE] Is that where it came from? Back in the late 1970s, I heard it on Dr. Demento for several years, then all of a sudden- not. I think it got to be too real. The mention of Angie Baby reminded me- Delta Dawn. Tho she was only weird, not pervy or really creepy. And w/o googling, I can’t recall who did the song- Helen Reddy or Anne Murray? ---

[QUOTE=phungi] _Backdoor Man_ (men don’t know but the little girls understand?!?) [/QUOTE] Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar), on the same album, also makes a few references to finding “little girls”. Given the fact that it’s a recurring theme, I always figured “little girls” might just mean “hot coeds”. Maybe not, though. ---

**"Red Angel Dragnet" - The Clash** seems to be about a serial killer of prostitutes. It includes references to Jack the Ripper… _Personally I know the alley Where Jack feeds on the birds of night Not even bobbies on bicycles 2x2 Can stop the blood and feathers flying_ …and the movie Taxi Driver (incorporating lines from that film): \*All the animals come out at night. Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick-- venal. Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets. Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. Listen you screwheads: Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the filth. Now I see clearly.\* ---

Boomtown Rats - _I don’t like Mondays_ based on a true story of a teenage girl’s shooting spree. and _Watch Out for the Normal People_ [QUOTE=Boomtown Rats] He’s got a movement in his cellar, He’s a danger to the state.

**Peter Bazooka** by the Dead Milkmen: _Tuesday - yes, it was Tuesday When I saw my congressman coming out of the titty bar He didn’t look like my congressman, but that’s okay Nobody really looks like themselves anymore I think its got something to do with that crap They’ve been pouring into the water I decided it might be wise to follow the congressman Just to see what he was up to._ The Characters in D.M.'s **Punk Rock Girl** are also kinda weird. ---

**Alanis Morrissette** – “Your House” This was mentioned earlier but it gets my vote for the all time creepiest girl song. _I went to your house Walked up the stairs I opened your door without ringing the bell I walked down the hall Into your room Where I could smell you And I shouldn’t be here, without permission I shouldn’t be here_ **Alanis Morrissette** – “You Oughta Know” A nice bitter breakup song from a psycho. \*You seem very well, things look peaceful I’m not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you fuck her Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you’d hold me Until you died, til you died But you’re still alive\* **Jewel** – “Adrian” A song about a brain damaged guy, creepy more for tone than lyrics. _Sign above his door says ‘Welcome Home’ But he just sits and stares He’s awake but he’s still not there Oh, Adrian, come out and play She sat by his side, watched the years fly by He looked so fragile, he looked so small She wondered why he was still alive at all Little Mary Epperson grew up lovely She still comes to visit him on Sundays He’s like an unused toy He’s got big hands but the mind of a little boy Oh, Adrian, come out and play Adrian came home again last summer Things just haven’t been the same around here_ **Jewel** – “Daddy” _Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy. What’s that say about me? Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy For all those things you said that were mean. Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy What’s that say about me? Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy. Gonna use your tongue as a stamp Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy Go ahead and psycho-analyze that. ‘Cause I’m your creation, I’m your love, Daddy. Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I’d do Well last night I saw you sneak out your window With your white hood, Daddy What’s’ that say about you?_ Wow, looking back at what I was listening to it’s no wonder the ‘90s were such a fucked up decade for me. The ‘00s are much better, what with **Nickelback’s** “Figured You Out” \*I like the freckles on your chest And I like the way you like me best And I like the way you’re not impressed While you put me to the test I like the white stains on your dress And I love the way you pass the check And I love the good times that you wreck And I love your lack of self-respect While you passed out on the deck I love my hands around your neck\* Yes, I’m feeling **much** better now. ---

I doubt anyone can listen to Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus without thinking of a creepy-fetish guy. That’s not the song’s fault, though. It’s just because that’s the song that Buffalo Bill dances to after dressing up in body parts in _Silence of the Lambs_. Put on some thick lipstick, crank up that song, and dance around and I bet people will avoid you. ---

Somebody already quoted a couple of Alanis Morrissette songs, but they forgot “Uninvited”. In it, a woman addresses her stalker. ---

If we’re talking about Alanis Morissette, we need to include [Hands Clean](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/alanismorissette/handsclean.html), which certainly seems to be a young girl recounting sexual abuse and coercion… ---
