If by some chance you were planning to show your love to someone this Valentines Day with a curated playlist, congratulations, that is almost as cliche as a heart-shaped box of candy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. A shared love of music is probably healthier than chocolate, anyway. However, before you go choosing messages of undying love from various top 40 lists, you might want to take a second look at the lyrics. Songs that became classic love songs in the past often have rather problematic story lines.
Whether they’re a little too obsessive, written about an inappropriately young love interest or romanticizing a toxic relationship, there are a surprisingly number of songs about love that actually are far creepier than they were intended to be. To help you know which ones you should steer clear of when putting together your Valentine’s Day playlist this year, we’ve rounded up some of the most disturbing examples. (For the purposes of this list, we’re focusing solely on songs that are unintentionally creepy, meaning self-aware depictions of unhealthy relationships or songs that are specifically intended to shock — like The Misfits’ “Die, Die My Darling” or Gnarls Barkley’s “Necromancer” — don’t fit the bill.)
InsideHook spells out what’s wrong with 13 love songs that you might not have noticed when casually listening. After all, you don’t want to send the wrong message, or give the impression that you don’t pay attention to details. Yeah, "EveryBreath You Take" is there, because that's a gimme. The others may surprise you. -via Digg
On the other hand, there's nothing unintentional about the creepiness of this song.
