Good call, freddiefreelance. Big Black was a favorite band of mine back in my college radio days. I almost posted two songs of theirs, "Fish Fry", and "Bad Penny", but I thought the songs might be too obscure for everyone, and I thought "Polly" was creepier.
Bad Penny
Ought to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Don't curse me for my nature
Don't blast me for my wrongs
Just a bad penny
I always come back to you
Just a bad penny
Just a bad penny
I always come back to you
Should have known you couldn't trust me
As far as you could throw me
You couldn't throw me too far
Just a bad penny
Couldn't throw me too far
I think I fucked your girlfriend once.
Maybe twice, I don't remember.
Then I fucked all your friend's girlfriends.
Now they hate you.
Just a bad penny
Just a bad penny
Such a bad penny
A bad bad penny
Ought to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Such a bad penny
A bad bad penny
Ought to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Ought to know you couldn't trust me
As far as you could throw me
Such a bad penny
Such a bad penny
Slap my hand
(Can't find the complete lyrics to Fish Fry right now, but they are creepy).

Anything by eminem gives me chicken skin. I have to agree with Aqualung being pretty slimy. I too always found Country Death song by the Violent Femmes pretty creepy. A kick ass song with one of my favorite horn sections but still creepy. Here are the words:
I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Well, I’m a thinkin’ and thinkin’, till there’s nothin’ I ain’t thunk.
Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
Come little daughter, I said to the youngest one,
Put your coat on, we’ll have some fun.
We’ll go out to mountains, the one to explore.
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.
Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.
We’ll go out tonight, we’ll go to the caverns.
We’ll go out tonight, we’ll go to the caves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
A led her to a hole, a deep black well.
I said make a wish, make sure and not tell and
Close you’re eyes dear, and count to seven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.
I through my child into a bottomless pit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
Gather round boys to this tale that I tell.
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
It’s guarenteed to get your own place in hell.
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.
Don’t speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.
You wanna know what can really tear you apart?
I’m going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain?
I’m going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

You got a point there pappy. The Cramps could make the Mickey Mouse Club Theme Song sound creepy. Lonesome Town is creepier when delivered by Rickey Nelson.

I heard this old Bloodrock song on my car radio a few minutes ago and just had to share it with you.
Laying here looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back
I try to move my arms and theres no feeling
And when I look I see theres nothing there
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
Then I looked straight at the attendant
His face is pale as it can be
He bends and whispers something softly
He says theres no chance for me
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
Life is flowing out my body
Pain is flowing out with my blood
The sheets are red and moist where Im lying
God in Heaven, teach me how to die
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Yo Mai Tai:
I made out (and other stuff) with the girl Lnown as Polly (maybe?). But I will nominate a more recent song.
I think it's called...."Possum Kingdom"
The only song that makes the line "do you wanna die?" funny. Hah!
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus...

"Hans Beimler" always gives me the willies:
Vor Madrid im Schützengraben,
In der Stunde der Gefahr,
Mit den eisernen Brigaden,
Sein Herz voll Hass geladen,
Stand Hans, der Kommissar.
Seine Heimat musst er lassen,
Weil er Freiheitskämpfer war.
Auf Spaniens blut'gen Strassen,
Für das Recht der armen Klassen
Starb Hans, der Kommissar.
Eine Kugel kam geflogen
Aus der "Heimat" für ihn her.
Der Schuss war gut erwogen,
Der Lauf war gut gezogen
Ein deutsches Schiessgewehr.
Kann dir die Hand drauf geben,
Derweil ich eben lad'
Du bleibst in unserm Leben,
Dem Feind wird nicht vergeben,
Hans Beimler, Kamerad.

"Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and stars
I turn to you and melt in your arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"

The late... the great... Hasil Adkins:
NO MORE HOT DOGS
(Hasil Adkins)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!...
Well, I'm gonna put your head on my wall, just like I told you baby, you can't hide no more.
You can't eat no more, no more hot dogs, I'm gonna put your head, I put it on my wall.
Now, baby don't you be, be afraid, 'cause you don't wanna eat, eat none today.
Gonna put your head on my wall, and then you can't eat no more hot dogs.
Oh yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!...
Come on baby, don't you be late, I want your head, I want it tonight.
Cut your head of at half past eight, I'll have it on my wall about a half past ten.
Yeah, come on baby, I want that head, come on baby, I want that head.
I want your head to hang on my wall tonight, now honey, don't you be afraid.
'Cause I'm gonna cut your head off, about a half past eight.
Just like I said, I'm gonna cut your head off, and you can eat no more hot dogs
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! ...

In my honest opinion, no song is quite as creepy as this one.
Its from Peter Gabriel's third album, its the first track...
Intruder
I know something about opening windows and doors
I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors
I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers
Slipping the clippers
Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires
The sense of isolation inspires
Inspires me
I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there
I like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the air
I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear
Intruders happy in the dark
Intruder come
Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark
