Scariest Song?

Disturbing if not scary..
Definitely NSFW, btw..


One of my amusing Hollywood stories is I was a regular at a bar near my place in West Hollywood called Goal. Was just the closest bar to walk to from my house. Little did I know that it was owned by Leo DiCaprio’s friends.

Every Wednesday they did wireless karaoke. One night I took a girl I was trying to impress with my karaoke skills there and lo and behold but Leo showed up. It was booths on both sides of the walls so you didn’t get up to sing but just got handed the mic at your table. Anyway, Closer came on and I look over and it’s Leo doing karaoke to Closer.

Long story short, the girl would go on to date some other actor and my scheme didn’t work.
 
Perhaps "Scary" wasn't quite right but when I was eleven scary things made me uncomfortable -- that's it -- Songs that make you 'uncomfortable.'
 
When Rush created "Witch Hunt," it was somewhat referencing the '80s emergence of things like the Moral Majority, their hatred of gays, and some book burning back then. Today, right now in the last few years, it fits our own horrifying problems a thousand times better. A song of both terror -- and anger about what has gone so wrong.

The righteous rise with burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill

They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves!

Quick to judge, quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand
