What is your most disturbing BoC song?

Mine is "In The Annexe", I don't know why but I can barely stand to listen to it, makes me feel like I'm a little kid who just woke out of a nightmare and sees that I'm in a strange place or something. It reminds me of just a place or something where people kid tortured... :shock:

For some reason, In The Annexe never struck me as disturbing.

For some reason which I find increasingly odd as I meet more BoC fans, I never found Geogaddi disturbing, creepy, dark, scary, or anything. Just weird for its own sake, I guess. I'm not the bravest guy on earth, in fact I can be pretty cowardly in some cases, but for some reason Geogaddi has yet to unnerve a bone in my body.

I voted for Opening the Mouth because it seems to reference death and the afterlife the most directly (according to Fredd-E's site) and because the gasping breathing sounds seem more arresting than the others. Devil is In The Details never creeped me out, I found it relaxing.

If you search The Annexe on WIKI, you'll find a article on Anne Franks house...a hideout for a jewish girl in WW2. So it does have something to do with scaryness and torture...

well, of the ones there are to chose, i'd go with "opening the mouth".

but i'd have to say though, that "you could feel the sky" is their all-time creepiest.
can't even explain it

[wiki]A Is To B As B Is To C[/wiki] from this list...

[wiki]The Color of the Fire[/wiki] is scariest of all time...

That little girl screaming in the devil is in the details always freaks me out, and kind of makes me laugh too,

I really have to say "You Could Feel the Sky" but truthfully, Sixtyten used to creep me out when I first heard it.

I also think "House of Abin'Adab is creepy.

I voted Devil is in the Details..creeps my face off every time. It's no surprise that all the really creepy stuff is from Geogaddi 8)

Something about the way the vocals are stretched out in that version creeps me out for some reason. Nine Rubber Wisdom is the same way with the sample from Mickey.
