Added DiffLines:

* Music/SophieEllisBextor's "Catch You", of which the verses consist of [[ListSong Ellis-Bextor listing all the ways in which she's apparently spying on the target of her affections]], and the chorus consists of her bragging about how said target will never be able to escape her.
-->''Run to where you want, run to where you want\\
I am gonna find you\\
There ain't no distance far enough\\
My love's gonna find you\\
Run to where you want, run to where you want\\
But may I remind you\\
There ain't no engine fast enough\\
My love's gonna catch you''
* Music/{{Portishead}}'s "All Mine" veers into this as the song goes on, and the instrumentation only makes it scarier.
-->''Make no mistake\\
You shan't escape\\
Tethered and tied, there's nowhere to hide from me...\\
ALL MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!\\
You have to be...''

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THRtKGX-czY An Unhealthy Obsession]]" by The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra plays up the two stalkers (one male, one female) as being ''extremely'' creepy but it is [[LyricalDissonance surprisingly upbeat]]. There is a twist: It is implied that they are obsessing over each other. The cover image even shows the woman filming the man through her window, while he tries to steal her washing from the clothes-line.
