Lots of great creepy songs here! Here's the one that gets my vote, "Polly", by Nirvana. Even though I loved the "Nevermind" album, I always had to skip past this song, because it creeped me out, and that was before I learned the whole story behind the song. What makes the song even creepier is that it's a true story about a creepoid that kidnaps a woman, and tortures her with blowtorches, etc. She actually escaped, and the song is her account to the police of what that guy did to her:

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
Maybe she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She’s just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
’mazes me the will, of instinct

Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
