Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[(Anonymous)]

Lately I've been listening to "Better Dig Two" by The Band Perry. Like a lot of their songs, it's pretty melodramatic and this one is literally entirely about a woman telling her husband that she'll commit suicide if he ever leaves her or dies before she does so it's kind of messed up. But it's so catchy!

I'll check that one out.

For me, it used to be "Dobermann" by Raubtier. It's from the POV of an abusive, overly possessive/jealous man towards his partner and any man who might even look at her.

Last chorus in translation:
The goddamn bastards who want you
will see rabies attacks when they face me
Fuck emancipation
to hell with your freedom
I remain him
Your Dobermann

God damn the catchyness and intoxicating aggression of this song, seriously. >.

Jimi Hendrix version of "Hey, Joe." About a man who has a gun and is going to shoot his cheating woman. Yeah, not exactly full of puppies and rainbows but I still love what Hendrix does with it.

I love disturbing songs!

One of my favorite bands is The Paper Chase. So many songs about murder/death in general. So many weird sounds and unsettling samples, including the Coast to Coast AM Area 51 caller. A concept album about fear/paranoia/conspiracy theories. A concept album about the apocalypse.

They're kind of an acquired taste, and use a lot of dissonance and intentional abrasiveness, but they're boss and I love them and I wish they were still together.

Ugh it's gross for so many reasons (and some of the rhymes are hilariously bad) but I still love listening to "Love the Way You Lie" I even have a stupid fondness for video of it. I can't understand why because I recognize how messed up the whole thing is.

'somebody put something in my drink' by The Ramones, really shady but gets the adrenaline pumping like crazy.

Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[mekkio]

Oh, and then there's Joy Division and The Smiths... Oh, God, there songs.

"Oh, sweetness.
Sweetness, I was only joking
when I said I'd like to bash
every tooth in your head."

Damn disturbing but Morrisey makes them work.

I love a lot of disturbing songs because they are disturbing, not despite of it. But one that definitely qualifies is "Black Eyes" by Radical Face. It’s a song about domestic violence - basically, the drunk husband coming home to find his wife and children gone because they couldn’t take his abuse anymore - when I was at a concert some time ago, the way they played the bass-drum parts was loud, harsh and uncomfortably close to the sound of punches.
There are a lot of uplifting songs by Radical Face, actually.

Also, Passage by Vienna Teng. It's from the POV of a woman who died in a car crash and watches her loved ones and the people who knew her cope with and move on after her death. It's both very sad and slightly creepy.

I LOVE ever song Emilie autumn has made, the all have something or other about them that works. Sometimes the lyrics can be a bit hokie, but the music bits can often make up for it...

Then fight like a girl came out, and I got REAL uncomfortable about some of the implications, then I started looking up other stuff about her, and holy shit it really does seem like she has a major hate on for the dick wielding members of society. I'm totally torn now. FLAG is so catchy, but I feel like a total misanrist listening to it.

---------

Anecdote #2: Amanda Palmer being an arrogant bag of douches has put a real crimp in my ability to enjoy her songs. There is nothing inherently wrong or objectionable in her actual songs, but her being such a dick of a person has become a really problem. I apparently have a problem separating art from artist.

Pretty much all R Kelly songs

Dead Body Disposal by Necro. It's a song about how to secretly dispose of a corpse. Trigger warning implied.

You could hang a fuck upside down in the tub
And slit his throat from ear to ear to remove a large amount of blood
Most of it'll gush out on its own at once
But to get the last couple of pints drained, work his arms like pumps

Let's see...

Pretty much everything off of Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Mein Teil and Wiener Blut by Rammstein (about Armin Meiwes and Josef Fritzl)

Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

Possum Kingdom by The Toadies.

Is it a song about a vampire? A serial killer? A sexual predator? The video makes it look like the former. Any way, it's creepy.

Angry Johnny by Poe

The singer wants to kill her (abusive) boyfriend? Yeah, that's a bundle of joy.

Cuddly Toy by The Monkees

Davy just sings this song so cheerfully, and yet, if you listen closely, it sounds like he's singing about a girl who'd been (gang/date)raped. Uhhh.

Goodbye, Earl by The Dixie Chicks

Another cheerful song about wife abuse, then the wife and her best friend murdering the husband and serving him up as barbeque, no, wait, that's Fried Green Tomatoes. And that was another disturbing video, but more because of Earl dancing around after he was dead.

Dirt Room by Blue October

Oh god then you awoke
You started screaming through the duct tape
Don't ever think I'm letting you go
I'm busy digging you a hole
Now you'll be living in a dirt room
Breathing through the straw of your own

Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Hey Joe, especially the Deep Purple cover.

[kamino_neko]

The number of songs I have about killing, rape (forcible and statutory), necrophilia, and various and sundry forms of violence would outnumber a lot of people's entire music collections. :p

Some standouts:

Maximum the Hormone - Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura Purin Purin Boron Nururururero - Been a while since I read the translation, but at one point the rapist character says 'A college girl is fine...a high school girl is fine...an elementary school girl is fine...'

And my 'necrophilia playlist', which I like to mention just to get the O_o reactions.

Alice Cooper - I Love the Dead
Alice Cooper - Cold Ethyl
Lordi - Night of the Loving Dead
Voltaire - Dead Girls
Voltaire - Zombie Prostitute

idk how disturbing it is but, Jeremy by Pearl Jam is an awesome song

Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[intrigueing]

"The Female Highwayman" :)

Sure, it's about terrifying and deceiving your lover to test him to make sure he's so devoted to you that he values your gift to him more than his own life, and then telling him that you would have killed him if he had been unfaithful...but she does it so sweetly! And it's so cute! And there's playing around with gender roles!

isn't it funny how it's consistently threads calling out misogyny that ends up being frozen by our male mod? i find that funny.

The I don't like Monday's song. I'm sure there's more but I don't have my iTunes to check. :(

FREAKING VOODOO DOLL

[(Anonymous)]

Damn VIXX has been freaky (and awesome) since 다칠 준비가 돼 있어 ("Ready to get hurt"), but Voodoo Doll is even moreso and yet I can't stop listening to it. Dammit VIXX!

Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[elialshadowpine]

Yeahhh... I listen to a lot of goth music so that's kinda par for the course.

Comes to mind immediately: "Collective Suicide" by Terminal Choice (the title should be self explanatory -- but the tune, esp for the club mix, is just so catchy!), "Kiss" by London After Midnight (the song is from the POV of someone who wants his lover to rape him and considers it an act of love), and "Further" by VNV Nation (which is possibly a little less disturbing but it's very nihilistic and one of the lyrics is "I know in darkness I will find you, giving up inside like me").

The music itself is catchy, and for some reason, disturbing lyrics actually make me like them more. Some of these are actually comfort songs for me, which totally boggles people. Feeling suicidal? Listen to a song about suicide. It cheers me up. I don't even know with my brain. Sometimes they actually inspire stories (... which means I have a lot of disturbing stories).

It's sorta weird, because in reality, these are all things that I recognize are NOT OKAY, but I see music as somewhat like fiction... songs are telling a story. It's fantasy, not reality.

That still doesn't stop people from going "WTF" when they see my Spotify on Facebook and find a music list of incredibly disturbing songs mixed in with Disney music or Broadway shows (although some of them can be disturbing in their own right... Phantom of the Opera, anyone?).
