when I was a kid, I loved this song called Timothy
it was about two guys and a donkey lost in a mine (as I recall).
One guy ends up lost forever, the other eats the donkey

True story... I think I just like the music and didn't know what the song was really about.

I googled it. Here ya go. DAYYYYY-UUMMMMM

apparently Tim isn't a donkey, I guess when you like 9, your brain fills in the details, lol... Oh my!

The Lyrics... enjoy

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...

"what about" by janet jackson

Oooh...Murder Ballads and Bronski Beat in one post -- nice!

For me, it's "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman. I tried to do it as a joke at karaoke once. It nearly ended in bloodshed.

Thanks to RJ's own Hobronto I have been enjoying Oasis by Amanda Palmer



The most upbeat song about rape and abortion I can think of.

"Only Happy When it Rains" by Garbage
"Promise to Try" by Madonna

I thought Timothy was a man. So the song is about cannibalism.

"Fairytale of New York" is one of my favourite songs, despite its' use of the word "faggot". I also really like "Luka" by Suzanne Vega (child abuse) and "Suicide is Painless" which is the theme song from the movie M*A*S*H.

Rihanna - Disturbia (can it get anymore disturbing than that? )

What Can Be Done at This Point/At the Edge of the World - Elan

Dedicated to the crew of the Challenger Space Shuttle, she was inspired by words ironically said after the vessel had completely exploded as the world watched in shock ... "we are checking with recovery forces to see what can be done at this point" . At the Edge of the World is also metaphorical of being long-distance from loved ones.



(vocals begin @ 4:09)

Closer - Nine inch Nails
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Surfacing - Slipknot

... but my most favorite and disturbing by far is

SUGAR - SYSTEM OF A DOWN

Here's a verse:

"I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music,
Just anger, I've killed everyone,
I've gone away forever, but Im feeling better,
How do I feel, what do I say,
Fuck you,and it all goes away,
How do I feel, what do I say,
Fuck you, and it all goes away,
How do I feel, what do I say,
In the end it all goes away..."

Yeah... I was all about the "drugs, sex, rock and roll" now I'm all 'DRUMS, BASS, DISCO BALL"

it is...
I realized after I googled the lyrics.

Two come to mind (I'm assuming that you mean intentionally disturbing):

Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order (about a suicide)

The Killing of Georgie by Rod Stewart (about a gaybashing/murder)

Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr. ("And in my best behavior, I am really just like him. Look beneath the floorboards, For the secrets I have hid.")

The Decemberists - Shankill Butchers ("They used to be just like me and you, They used to be sweet little boys. But something went horribly askew, Now killing is their only source of joy.")

Self - So Low ("I'm so low that I wish I was dead, with a knife in my chest and a bullet through my head.")

Every song by Radiohead.

Coil - Blood From The Air


Cheap Trick - The Ballad Of TV Violence



Throbbing Gristle - Hamburger Lady


The Creatures - Miss The Girl

Siouxsie & The Banshess - Head Cut




Zazie - Homme Sweet Homme

Amanda Jones by Mothermania
Its about a crazy stalker, its catchy.

Heres a cover, a few mistakes but you get the jist.

Back to Black -- Amy Winehouse

I'm Okay and Hurt by Christina Aguilera

Hey! whos that thinkin nasty thoughts? nasty boys!

Whos that in that nasty car? nasty boys!

Whos that eatin that nasty fruit? nasty boys!

Whos jammin to my nasty groove? nasty boys!


Ladies? nasty boys dont mean a thing

Oh you nasty boys

hobronto saidEvery song by Radiohead.

Hey! It's Marvs fave!!

I'll add "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie, but I think the crown for creepy, stalker song that sounds romantic until you actually listen to the lyrics still belongs to Sarah... er... unless Sting still retains that title from "Every Breath You Take".

Oh, and I simply cannot listen to "Scarecrow" by Melissa Etheridge. It's an amazing song, but it is just too much to take in sometimes.

Landslide, Stevie Nicks or Dixie Chicks. I love the song but it really can derail ya for a while.

Pat Benatar's "Hell is for Children"



Melissa Etheridge: "Scarecrow"



"Ohio" by Crosby Stills Nash and Young




"Chicago" - Graham Nash



Elton John...Candle in the Wind (for Princess Diana"



sonic youth - "tunic"

Blood Pigs - Otep

The Barney Song

Smack my Bitch Up - prodigy

Move Bitch - Ludacris

The song those little kids were singing at the beginning of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.

That was the song I was going to put..I was surprised to see someone else mentioned it... I LOVE this song. It's so haunting. Good pick!

The Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
