* "The Order of Death" from the oft-maligned ''This is What You Want... This is What You Get''. The only vocals is Lydon chanting the album title like a MadnessMantra while the music plays like a Creator/JohnCarpenter soundtrack in the background. Unsurprisingly, it was used in a fake "mix" for ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''.

* Also, "Theme" and "Fodderstompf" from their debut.

* Also, "Theme" opens ''First Issue'' on a particularly disturbing note; the creeping bassline, the droning walls of dissonant guitar, Lyndon's constant screams of "Now I understand" and "I wish I could die"... the fact that all of this goes on for ''nine minutes straight'' doesn't help either.
*
"Fodderstompf" from their debut.is honestly pretty funny for the most part, though the cold atmosphere and repetitive cries of "WE ONLY WANTED TO BE LOVED!" certainly help it cross into this territory.

* Most of the songs on ''Metal Box'' and ''Flowers Of Romance'' qualify for least as [[NightmareFuel the lower grade]], but the aforementioned [[PrimalFear "Poptones"]] and [[CosmicHorrorStory "Under the House"]] from each respectively are nigh-indisputably terrifying.

* Then there's "Careering," a twisted Dub song about UsefulNotes/TheTroubles, with one of the most ominous sounding synth lines ever. I don't know if the fact that it was Keith Levene trying to recreated the sound of the ''clearly'' distressed vending machine in their rehearsal studio makes it more or less scary.

* "Annalisa" isn't the ''worst'', but there's something about the fact that it just keeps going, that really weird, disorientating flange/delay they put on everything towards the end, as well as some of Lydons more guttural screams. Also, it's about a girl with mental problems being starved to death during a botched exorcism. And it's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneliese_Michel a true story]].

* "Poptones", about a woman locked in the boot of "a fast German car" and driven into the woods, with full knowledge that nothing good can happen when the car stops. All the while, the driver is playing the same song over and over again on the car stereo. Did I mention that [[RippedFromTheHeadlines this one also happened]]?
