* Brian Dewan: "Medical Medley" is from the point of view of someone undergoing brain surgery. The idea behind the song is people tend to be awake during brain surgery and poking different parts of the brain causes different thoughts and emotions. The song starts out almost funny, with renditions of Happy Birthday and Yankee Doodle mixed in with random thoughts. Then he starts crowing like a rooster and crying "I want my oxygen mask!" The song descends further and further, and ends with him calling "Mommy?" over and over and over until the listener is curled up in fetal position trying to figure out what they did to deserve this level of Hell.

* Music/NekoCase: "Furnace Room Lullaby", in which a woman murders her husband and burns his corpse. While he's implied to have been [[AssholeVictim an abuser]], it's still disturbing to hear the wife gleefully describe twisting his body until it burned. If that's not bad enough, her guilt causes her to go insane, being unable to hear anything but his heartbeat. Though, when a song is inspired by [[Literature/TheTellTaleHeart one of the most famous horror stories]] by [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe the most famous horror author of all time]], one shouldn't expect SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel.

* Hank Snow's obscure 1969 song [[https://youtu.be/6nWSxrzFDaQ "The Name of the Game Was Love"]] [[AccidentalNightmareFuel probably wasn't intended to be this]], but [[{{Subtext}} reading between the lyrics]] reveals far more sinister connotations. In theory, the song is a happy, nostalgic reminiscence of all the girls the narrator has been romantically involved with in his life, with an absolute [[EarWorm earworm]] of a tune and the first verse even [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong sounding similar to]] the children's nursery rhyme "Five Little Speckled Frogs". Except that list of girls is ''insanely'' long, which makes it extremely likely that the narrator is a [[TheCasanova Casanova]] who goes out of his way to win the hearts of as many girls as he possibly can before abandoning them and moving on. While the song goes out with the narrator saying he loves them all, [[UnreliableNarrator it's difficult not to question his sincerity]].

* Music/XiuXiu can be pretty terrifying when the situation calls for it... but that word does little, if any, justice to their song [[https://youtu.be/mZ6dYDVRnWg "Mary Turner Mary Turner"]]. The unsettling sound effects and music that accompanies Jamie Stewart's distorted, unhinged vocals is bad enough, and then you get to the lyrics. They detail one of the most gruesome lynching deaths ever recorded, and nothing is left out. FromBadToWorse doesn't even ''scratch the surface'' of what happened to this poor woman and her unborn baby.

It's actually for a boss encounter in ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'' that was a young couple trapped in a (supposedly) malfunctioning train where the trapped passengers start eating and killing each other, finally accumulating to the couple consenting a nurse and a doctor to turn them into a combined flesh monstrosity.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQUaEF2bJZ0 "The Device Has Been Modified"]], a remix of dialogue from VideoGame/{{Portal}}. It makes everything so damn creepy, especially at the end. Especially since if you forget and leave it on, a full ten seconds or so of silence after the "end," [[LastNoteNightmare a Turret whispers "Are you still there?" with demonic reverb.]]
** The download of the song has the Turret speak much sooner after [=GLaDOS=] says "goodbye," so the creepiness of it is lessened a little. Not by much, though.
** "Please proceed to android hell." Cue Rage Sphere.
* "The Smote's Lullaby" is a fan-song for Webcomic/HedoneHigh. Just... Just the little kid weeping at the end... Damn.
* [[http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/suzannevega29.shtml This song parody]] by someone named after a line from Michael Jackson's song "Smooth Criminal" is a nightmarish attempt at a song about Tonight Show host Jay Leno- the song coming off as more of an Alice Cooper-like vibe to it and with the portrayal of Jay being more like Heath Ledger's Joker crossed with Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd. It makes the whole thing look more like a horror novel than a song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVXFyZsnAa4 "Silent Bonk"]]. It is a testament to how creepy ''Franchise/SilentHill'' music is that even having the Scout from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' [[Main/StupidStatementDanceMix "bonk" over it]] fails to blunt the fear factor.
** On that note, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs65S-1o-Os "One-Winged Scout"]] reveals exactly how creepy the Scout's cries [[ManOnFire when he is set on fire]] are.
* Some Website/YouTube user thought it was a fun idea to upload a video of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B95Z_cghzA8 G Major!]]
* The ''BMS of Fighters'' composer [=LeaF=] and video producer Optie sometimes team up to produce some seriously disturbing songs and music videos:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC-bVtpIMd4 "MopeMope"]] seems like a saccharine jingle for toddlers at first, but it soon takes a turn for the worse when the music suddenly glitches out, replaced by a hellish droning noise. It quickly reverts back for a second, but it doesn't take long at all for Hell to return, this time with an ominous, horrific version of the tune. Things only go further downhill from there as the music devolves into what can only be described as nightmares given life. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfnM0W5kVAg The extended version]] isn't much better, even with a silly rock remix of the tune starting it.
** The same partnership between [=LeaF=] and Optie brings us "MARENOL". Explicitly labeled as R-18G (which in Japanese culture means not suitable for minors ''and'' it has extremely gory content). Rendered in a [[{{Retraux}} pixel style]], the video features all manners of creepy, bloody imagery, like faceless women suddenly having holes in their faces, one of them being shackled and then torn to shreds by a series of gears, and a woman hung (presumably) dead on a noose before falling onto a giant spike and releasing gallons of blood.
*** [[http://manbow.nothing.sh/event/event.cgi?action=More_def&num=370&event=123 The (thankfully fictitous) story behind all of this]] (English translation [[https://pastebin.com/YmmD0nt8 here]]) is just as disturbing: A depressed girl found herself past the DespairEventHorizon, and sought a way to finally [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]]. She comes across an antidepressant known as [[TitleDrop Marenol]], and noticed that one of the side effects is dreams so horrific they "approach death". So she went ahead and started taking it, and discovered that what was meant by the side effects is that it gives her some absolutely horrific nightmares that feel like death every night, but doesn't actually kill her, almost as if the drug [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor twisted her wish]]. She does feel better as a result, but it comes at a very steep price.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAlkyxz2mU The Boys Are Back in Town (to kill you)]] is a silly HorrorComedy video that remixes a classic Music/ThinLizzy song. Its sequel on the other hand, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsF5EWOQN9Y Kiss Me (Kill Me)]], is... not a comedy. It's a lovely blend of FoundFootage, AnalogHorror, and NothingIsScarier. Most of the video is a police report on a pop song that slowly becomes more and more deranged as ''something'' happens to the singer. Whether she's hallucinating, being infected by something, or being possessed is left ambiguous since most of the video is just an audio transcipt.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVXFyZsnAa4 Hypno's Lullaby]] made the already creepy [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Lavender Town theme]] even worse by adding lyrics. The song is about Hypno kidnapping children.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjKLjGbL-W0 Circus Hop]] sounds [[CircusSynths innocent enough]] judging by the instrumental but gets [[LyricalDissonance far darker when you]] [[DualMeaningChorus look deeply into the lyrics]] It is about a circus performer [[BulliedIntoDepression who got mocked relentlessly]], [[spoiler: [[SanitySlippage losing his]] [[StepfordSmiler sanity until he]] [[DrivenToSuicide commits suicide]] by intentionally falling off of the tightrope.]]

* The jazz and blues standard “St. James Infirmary Blues” is quite unsettling. The song is about a man whose lover has died and whose body he sees in the morgue, and ends with him stating how he wants his body buried. The melody is haunting and the song actually ended up being the inspiration for Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher”. While there are variations on the lyrics, there are a few that are common in most renditions of the song:
--> Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,\\
See my baby there;\\
She's stretched out on a long, white table,\\
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair.\\
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,\\
Wherever she may be,\\
She will search this wide world over,\\
But she'll never find another sweet man like me.\\
Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,\\
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,\\
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,\\
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.\\

* Omnia's version of 'The Well Below the Valley' (shortened to 'The Well') really ramps up the creepiness of an already disturbing song, and does so in a slow and deliberate manner. It starts of normal and fairly cheerful but then they get to the incest and child murder, maintaining the same tone to let that speak for itself. But when the girl asks the gentleman what will happen to her, the vocals and instrumentation make a sudden shift to deep, dark and ominous. The rest of the song is mostly instrumental but some of it sounds like ''ghostly children crying in pain.'' And to top it all off? It ends with a music box rendition of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.'

* Jim White's "Still Waters" carries a ghostly ambience to it, and the lyrics tell increasingly disturbing stories of encounters that may or may not be supernatural in nature - the narrator shares a bed with a woman who wakes him up to say she saw a ghost before mysteriously disappearing, is beaten bloody by some sailors and curses their ship - which then sinks, and sees an old man crying in the rain while singing before witnessing the same old man, hanged by a rope, later that day...and sings along to the "hymn to Jesus" the rope seems to be singing. The final verse sums things up as a potential metaphor, but a no less disturbing one for the narrator:
-->''And I just throw myself into the arms of that which would betray me''
-->''I guess to see how far Providence will stoop down just to save me''
