I never would have said Dock of the Bay, but now that you mention it, it is kind of haunting.

I don't think of Penny Lane as haunting. But I could see how Eleanor Rigby is. Me...I'd say Alice in Chains - Heaven Beside You

A-A-A WHOOP

Does Maxwell's Silver Hammer make anyone else think of "A Clockwork Orange?" Not sure why, but that is the image I get in my head.

The Beatles had some haunting stuff. How about Strawberry Fields or The Long and Winding Road?

But Elanor Rigby and Penny lane are just scary.

Sound of Silence always seems creepy to me, but maybe its because I think of Woody Harrelson puking after doing it w/ the old chick in Kingpin

What is it about great sex that makes me want to crap?

Time is on my side - by the Rolling Stones. After this was featured in that movie with Denzel, its become the most haunting song ever.

Not so much Clockwork Orange, but the a certain goofy little dance. That song makes me laugh...

Not just because of the content, but "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot always gives me chills.

I'm with No Shinola...the first time I heard Blue Jay Way I was 11 and listened to it through a good pair of headphones...I literally felt like I was moving through a thick fog and felt like I was getting motion sickness...truly weird...

"Fool on the Hill" by the Beatles is disturbing.

Also, "Gimme Shelter" by the Stones.
