The Saddest Sad Machine
Tom Waits can be a little creepy every now and then (ie: "Murder in the Red Barn"
).
The White Stripes' "The Nurse." If the lyrics don't do it, the marimba will.
I'd have to say that The Vampire Waltz by Hannah Fury is up there. It's simple, which makes it even more effective. She doesn't need anything fancy to make it eerie.
I'd also say All Mine by Portishead. That is a very unsettling song.
And I'll also mention Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue. Nick Cave sounds creepy to begin with. He only sounds darker paired with Kylie's prettier voice. And she sounds appropriately eerie and ethereal.

I don't know if it is a song in the strictest sense of the word but i'm sure it is creepy as fuck

"Hamburger Lady" is an amazing piece of sound art. The problem is, of course, that it does what it does almost too well.

I've heard that once it's some creepy shit
(That Guy You Met Once)
Heard the song. Didn't really affect me. Looked up the lyrics, was somewhat creeped out.
Did the research, read what inspired it, and found out it was all a true story... Never going to sleep again.

Project progress: The Adroan (102k words), The Pigeon Witch, (40k). Done but in need of reworking: Yume Hime, (50k)
"The Litanies of Satan" by Diamanda Galás. That is all.
Apparition in the Woods
Galás' entire discography is basically a never-ending cavalcade of unspeakable terror, blues covers and collaborations with John Paul Jones notwithstanding.

I think I posted this last time we had a similar thread, but:
Ten seconds before
Revolution number 9 deserves a mention…
Deep into that darkness, peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

that noise band that used mental patients as vocalist's.

Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
Never heard of them.
Sunshine Recorder
Halber Mensch by Einsturzende Neubauten, also Hamburger Lady/Slug Bait by Throbbing Gristle.
I used to get creeped out by Aphex Twin's SAWII back in the day, especially White Blur 2, but I've gotten used to it since. Same applies to the Geogaddi album by Boards of Canada.
Also Nurse with Wound...

Apparition in the Woods
Nurse With Wound were a huge influence on my own music back in the day. Their self-descriptor of "sinister whimsy for the wretched" is pretty spot-on.
Das kann doch nicht sein!
I can't think of a song that I would call overall creepy. However, I think that Laibach's "Leben heißt Leben" gets rather creepy at the end, due to the gradual distortion (for lack of a better word). But that's one of the things that make it awesome.
Zoogz Rift's Son of Puke (only available on cassette) is full of his usual wayward genius on Side One. Side Two, however, is devoted to a quartet of derelicts Zoogz assembled from behind the recording studio. It consists wholly of early Beatles songs, sung by them a cappella in eerie, ceiling-scraping falsettos. Nothing else. Uncommonly, indescribably disturbing.
