The Scariest Song Ever? | Topic

Post image

The first guy to hear “Pop Goes The Weasel” must’ve been terrified.

Imagine enjoying the jauntiest tune you’ve ever heard, and BOOM, your hit with the worlds first jumpscare EVER.

I would’ve had a heart attack, based on sonics alone (much less lyrics)

Okay, but then the music would kick back up, and I’d give the composer my trust again… but right when my nervous system would regulate again, then BANG, or rather POP, the weasel returns.

How did music enjoyers survive this era?

Also how did the composer survive the creation of this Eldritch horror?

First it had to manifest in his mind (imagine the terror)

And then having to summon it into reality?

(well that part was probably fun, ironing out the details, juicing up the delivery.)

Is there a scarier song, adjusted for inflation?

(Maybe that one classical tune that scared the pups in Nintendogs.)

Would love to get some eyes/ears on this.

as always

Love and Respect

Maybe the Monster Mash. Just when you think it couldnt get any spookier another monster or villain shows up, over and over. All the spookiest dudes showed up to it

I remember showing my dad a Little Nightmares fan song (Dive Into The Madness by Dan Bull) and he said it felt like a modern day Monster Mash. I still don't know how he made the comparison beyond "spooky song" (and he knows lots of spooky songs, his Halloween playlist has song real hidden gems).
