Why? The lyrics? Drugging you and f**king you?
 
Um yes!  (I don't think he's singing to me mind, at least I don't think so?) Confused

Never made me feel anything.
That will be due to the numbing effect of sub-zero H2O has on your arse then. Geek

Me: Bobby Wyatt's "Alife" - the ending makes me feel slightly uneasy (sorry, ... absolute bull. Who was I kidding?) ... in a good way.

Frank Zappa's "Jumbo Go Away" makes me uneasy, lyrically.  I've been a fan for a long time, and I know he has some occasional fun at the expense of others, and usually it gets a pass because it qualifies as satire: making us aware of prejudices and stereotypes by taking them to extremes, exposing the hypocrites of society by taking on their detestable persona in song.  But for this song, it seems like he's just berating a girl because she's fat.  That's just not cool.  What an a-hole.

I start to feel a little uneasy near the beginning of Faust's "Meadow Meal", it's a really great song though. Early Kraftwerk is like that as well.

It's actually a true story, documenting Denny Walley's treatment of a groupie.

Not saying it's excusable, but life ain't always pretty.

Well, I guess I can swallow that, and I'm not as mad at Frank anymore.  He did have a tendency to take his bandmates' embarrassing experiences and turn them into songs.  (e.g. Stevie's Spanking, Jeff leaving the group in 200 Motels). Thanks for the info, I hadn't heard that before.  But I've hung out with Denny on several occasions, and now I've got a beef with him. Ouch LOL

Pretty well all the lyrics to any songs i've heard by Venom. Instrumentally, good quality heavy metal, but the lyrics are sickening, and also pretty moronic

When I first heard Joe's Garage, I hadn't been exposed to stuff like "stick out your hot curly weenie" and "John's got a sausage, yeah man". I hadn't heard that kind of vulgarity in music before and I was somewhat unnerved. I got over it fairly quickly though, I don't know if that's a good thing. LOL

"Running Gun Blues" by David Bowie. Musically, it's one of his most cheerful songs; lyrically, however, it's one of his most chilling.

Good thread idea. This reminds me that I should get the Second Annual Report. I have yet to really experience Throbbing Gristle. 

Someone mentioned Loveless. I can maybe see that, but it makes me feel so good.
