made me cry and worry about school.

Great version too (and reached number 1)

Rap scares me even to this day nevermind when I was younger. Its stupid how many people imitate this 'style' without ever thinking about it simply being a form of entertainment.

Boyzone scared the bejesus out of me

[quote=21stCenturyBoy;58228223]My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion absolutely terrified me when it first came out... I was only 4, mind.

That song is enough to terrify any music lover

Judy Collins' version of "Amazing Grace" , and it didn't help that TOTP made a weird montage video to go with it.

Grace Jones used to scare me

Also There was a song by Enigma can't remember the name of it but it had people chanting and I think there were monks in the video, it was all a bit creepy. I remember my brother locking me in his room and making me watch that video on repeat haha, how mean.

"O Superman" by Laurie Anderson. Creepy...and I wasn't that young.

Sadness

The Prodigy's Firestarter and Eminem's Stan scared me, but that was mainly down to the videos and me being about 5...

That's the one

Anyone Who Had A Heart - apart from the fact Cilla Black sang it, something about it reminded me of the Dr Who theme (well I was only 4 at the time) and I kept expecting Daleks to appear.

Vandellis - Chariots Of Fire, ive no idea why, but it still gives me the shudders to this day!

Reminded me - Cavatina (Theme from The Deer Hunter) charted in the early 80's too. Creepy

Eminem - Stan: I was 8 when this came out and my older brother showed me the video and for weeks I couldn't sleep because I was worried a man named Stanley was going to kill me. I now apprecaite the song for the genius that it is now

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On: A bit stupid I know but the clips of Titanic with people drowning in the video scared me

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy

When I was about 6 or 7 there was this trance track called "Shine" by Space Brothers and I remember it being on the radio in the car when we were driving home from somewhere late at night. It didn't scare me as such, just made me feel really lonely, and I remember having this weird 'deserted' and sad type feeling. I tracked it down a couple of years ago, and while I still got that melancholy feeling, I did realise that it was a great track with an epic hook.

The Hawkwind album 1971 I think.
I was about 10,even the cover scared the crap out of me at the time.

"Theres a ghost in my house"
Scared me silly when i first heard it in 1974

So glad I'm not the only one who was scared by that song!
I remember when I was younger and someone performed the song on 'Stars in their eyes' and I stayed out of the room while the song was on because I was scared of the scary woman in the middle of the song (who I now know is Siobhan Fahey from Bananarama).

I can understand why people would have been frightened of this song though - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VIqA3i2zQw . Did anyone hear Graham Norton play it on his radio 2 show a few months ago and he had to stop it half way through because it was annoying him so much! lol!

This song freaked me out a bit back in the day:

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead

And this one was pretty spooky:

Godley and Creme - Under Your Thumb

John Barry's genius theme from 'The Persuaders'

Me too.

The video for "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran used to scare me a bit, and a Peter Gabriel song from about the same time that had Spitting Image puppets in the video. The song sounded a bit like We're In The Army Now by Status Quo, but I might be remembering that completely wrong.

Sorry for the bump but hey, maybe people have new suggestions to this interesting topic!

I do!

I recently re-discovered "Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes.

Now its not the sped up bit that I dont like, its the throaty man singing the verses.
