what songs scared you when you were younger?
Apologies if there has already been a thread on this, but I wondering what songs when they came on the radio, videos or even single/albums/cd covers used to scare you when you were younger. For me I can remember being scared of the following
1) Ultravox - Vienna - think it is because it sound eerie and I thought it sounded like someones heart beating throughout it 2) Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - apparently when it came on the radio my parents used to say I would freeze and stop whatever I was doing 3) Kate Bush - Babooshka, think both the video and song, anything with the sound of a glass smashing on it 4) Its my Party - can't remember who sang it, but it was really early 80s. I remember my cousin having the single and I am sure if I am not mistaken that the single cover showed a man in a mask and a woman with these really long overgrown finger nails - that used to scare me. 5) Laurie Anderson - O Superman. Even now that song is too weird for me to listen to Oh by the way you may have gathered by the song choices that I am over 30. Happy to hear other choices whether it be videos, songs, single/album/cd covers etc

The one that scared me horrifically was Cotton Eye Joe... by Rednex I think?
But yeah, that one. I used to cry when it came on and my parents still sing it at me now

I had an experience when I was younger when I was alone in the flat where I was living at the time, at night, and this came on the radio and I was convinced there was a "presence" in the flat with me - and I'm not the kind of person who spooks out over stuff like that. But obviously something about this song raises my hackles ![]() I think it's a brilliant record though despite this. |

None. I can't understand why a song would scare anyone.

Emeinem was banned in my house for a few years because I was terrified of Stan (I was 7 when it was released).
