http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=224911 Inspired parially by this thread, what are songs that just unnerve you? For me, it’s the song Duvet (http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/lain/selduvet.htm) I have only seen a little bit of the anime, which my friend showed me, and don’t know that much about it, but when I hear this song, my heart starts to pound a bit, and I get really nervous. There is no reason that I can think of for this song to bother me so much. Are there any songs that do this to you, and if so, can you place why?
hangs head in shame How did I not catch that on preview? It should be there, not here…
I’m not sure if this is the sort of thing that you’re talking about, but I find the general atmosphere of “Then came the last days of May” by Blue Oyster Cult to be rather unsettling. I think that has that effect because it evokes that time of the year that is the transition between Spring and Summer in a really dark way. And of course, because of the lyrics.
Yup, noodler, that’s the kind of thing I mean^_^ Tune, lyrics, interpretation, all those kinda things are what I meant. I’m just bad at explaining what I mean initially…
