Nightmare Fuel / Stop Making Sense

• The "Swamp" sequence. The song itself is already creepy, thanks to David's nasal voice, the zombie-like synth chorus, and lyrics that reference things like the Devil, blood, bones, drugs, and the atom bomb. Now couple that with the film's visuals, which include a red background, David with slicked-back hair rising off the ground like a vampire, and bizarre dance moves that include lurching and fascistic marching, and we've got some serious Villain Song vibes. Compare this to the way "Psycho Killer" is staged: while it certainly has the lyrics of a Villain Song, it's much more playful and loose and David looks more like he's having fun.
• The tense beat and claustrophobic framing of "What A Day That Was" only accentuate the apocalyptic lyrics. By the end, David is just screaming like a man possessed and shaking his head everywhere.
