Forgot that one. Amazing tune. Tom Jones sang the hell out of it. I did likewise, with my band.

Yep, creepy. When I'm going goofy, doing a project where I'm, figuratively, trying to put a square peg in a round hole, I sometimes burst out with this piece, no lie!

My gosh, this still scares me!

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Elvis, written by Hank Williams

Haunting tune, loved it from the first time I heard it, as a kid, original tune, Hank singing it.

Are we all getting teary eyed yet?

 

[treeguy64]

Crying-Orbison
Running Scared-Orbison
Leah-Orbison

For an additional chill, check out Rebekah Del Rio's version of Crying, in Mulholland Drive. Truly, other-worldly. ...(The movie is amazing, a royal mind f@#k! Recommended, if you're into the bizarre.)

Tunes that kind of creeped you out, but.......

Leader of the Pack-Shangri-las

Mainly because I sorta lived that one

Driving down a country road....while making out

She looks up.....screams; 'LOOK OUT!! LOOK OUT!!'
My eyeballs return from the back of my head in time to see an oncoming car of old people (I'm in their lane)

It's a long story from there

"Paint It, Black" by the Stones

Did it. I was 13. Had to mount a hook on my mic stand, so I could grab the tambourine, and then get right back on bass, after the break: "No more will my green sea go........." The slides up the bass, at the ending fade out, were great fun.

 

[Sassycakes]

I can't listen to this song without crying. I was playing it when I got the call that a friend of mine who was a Fireman had just gotten killed fighting a fire.

 

[Wren]

Get the tissues ready....

If I could only fly - Merle Haggard

Brand new angel - Jeff Bridges

 

[jujube]

Heck, everyone's listed all my creepy/weepy favorites already.

The only other ones I can think of are "Seven Spanish Angels" by Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash's "Long Black Veil".

 

[Gardenlover]

D.O.A. by Bloodrock - Used to creep me out.

There is a similar song, with a bit faster tempo, but I can't recall the name of the song or the lyrics.

 

[Marlene]

Patches by Dickey Lee

Ode to Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry

 

[Aunt Bea]

I love the horns but the lyrics are kind of creepy.

 

[hollydolly]

Mull of Kintyre - Paul McCartney ...what a dirge that was....

 

[StarSong]

Nirvana's "Come as You Are"
(No, I don't have a gun...)

Patches by Dickey Lee

Oooh no....I love ''patches'' but by Clarence Carter ... my brother used to do a great rendition of that...
