Creepy

I'm admin of a Facebook group who post songs according to a daily theme.  Today's theme is junk food.  Tomorrow's will be science. I'm thinking 'Lithium', 'Chemistry', 'She Blinded Me With Science' for starters.  I haven't set Wednesday's theme yet, but I'm thinking of songs that could be just a little, er, creepy.  Songs that might be a bit creepy include:

1. 'I'm On Fire' by Bruce Springsteen.  Look, I like Bruce's delivery in most of his songs.  I like 'Hungry Heart' - a cheerful little paean dedicated to abandoning your wife, kids, and responsibilities. I love 'Brilliant Disguise', soaked in ennui and suspicion.  I love the pep and go-get-'em of 'Born To Run'.  I love the moodiness and atmosphere of 'Philadelphia'.  I don't love 'The River'; it alternates between depressing me and making me snore.  But back to my original example here, 'I'm On Fire'.  Seriously folks, have a listen.  It starts off with this creepy, sleaze-soaked opener: 'Hey little girl/Is your daddy home/Did he go out and leave you/All alone....'  He sounds like that friend of the family all women hated when they were small.  That one that just seemed not quite .... kosher.  The one that offered to help when it was bath time (and you were actually sixteen at the time).  Yep, tres creepy, this song.

2. The entire catalogue of The Police.  'Every Breath You Take (I'll Be Watching You)'.   'King Of Pain' ('Yeah, that's it!  Put a hot poker against my ball-sac! Please spill a droplet of Tabasco sauce down the eye of my penis!').  'I Can't Stand Losing You' (because it's sung by a manipulative jerk).

3. 'Centerfold' by J Geils Band.  I won't explain why just now, but everyone who knows me knows why I detest this and why it creeps me.

4. 'Living Doll' by Cliff Richard.  'Gonna lock her up in a trunk...'  Hello?  What are you, Josef Fritzl?

5. 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again now.  This song makes me feel like I have discovered bats having sex in my hair.

So, that's some choice little numbers for starters.  Now onto something a bit different.  I am posting hereunder a link to the latest review on Amazon for my novel 'Silver Studs and Sabre Teeth'.  If you'd like to read the first chapters of my novels, there are links on my blog home page.  These links also have purchase options.  *cough* hint *cough*.

The reviewer mentions 'great book' and the hero being a 'morally flexible' character.  I like morally flexible characters, because as I tell my fledgling Hemingways whenever I'm lecturing in creative writing, a character with a flaw is a lot more interesting than your run of the mill, anodyne hero.  In case you're wondering, Hector's perceived flaw is he likes to strip naked and get rubbed down at his local rub-and-tug parlour.  People who have mentioned they consider this a flaw in his character are probably referring to the fact Hector is married.

I have to write something for my writing group tomorrow night.  The theme is 'relationships'.  What to write flummoxes me and leaves me stumped; I've no idea.
