Can someone list some of the creepiest and scariest non prog songs that are really haunting sorta like "I only have eyes for you" by the Flamingos?

It can range from any genre excluding prog from every era ranging from the 50s to the present.

I have no idea why that song by the Flamingos is supposed to be creepy. but i definitely could think of a creepy song with that title, especially if accompanied by a video in which a person is given lots of eyes

I always found the Cars' "Drive" really creepy.  It's obvious the singer is upset because his girlfriend doesn't need him enough, and he's trying to convince her that no one but him will ever put up with her.
 
Ewwwww.

It's not the title that is creepy or the lyrics. It's the way that the music is played and sung. Have you ever noticed that song has appeared in many horror movies, horror video games, and TV shows based off of ghosts? That's why I find it creepy and I am looking for music similar to that.

just my point. the song is not creepy at all; it is absolutely innocent. which is exactly why it is used in horror movies. people listening to this innocent song having no idea that the alien, monster, mad killer or whatever is lurking near. it is used because of this contrast

A good chunk of PJ Harvey's early discography is taken up by these, though there's quite a bit of humour (if very dark) in her lyrics that many people don't notice.
