What's the darkest song ever?? My nomination....

[Junkyard Dog]

I nominate Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes

 

[Double Stop]

I also find that Pogues song about Christmas in the drunk tank can get to me.

Yeah, that's "Fairytale Of New York". It's dark depending on the angle you judge the lyrics by, but mostly it's satirical with a bit of dark humor, pathos and obscenity all wrapped up in a jaunty, sing-a-long chorus. Shane MacGowan is quite the poet.

Severed Head of State is a great name for a band.

That Moog solo at the beginning of Tarot Woman by Rainbow gives me goosebumps to this day.

Sad Kermit also did a rendition of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails that is pretty good.

Elvis Costello, Lipstick Vogue:



"Sometimes I think that Love is just a tumor, you've got to... cut it out!"

 

[BroGreg]

Play this one loud and it will melt the paint off your walls..

 

[Mouth]

Ladies and gentlemen, Warren Zevon!

 

[cyclopean]

There is none darker.
