'Every Breath You Take' is a classic example.

Intentionally creepy.

The Flaming Lips: "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 2"
Modest Mouse: "Dramamine"

I don't know why these are so creepy to me.

I always found this song very unintentionally creepy:

Now, if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now, if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now, if she moves like this
Will you move it like that?
Come on.

And, later on:

Your lips tremble
But your eye's are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We're on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide

What EXACTLY is going on here? Are they losing their virginity or something? And why does he want to hide?! It's clear that they are both terrified.

I saw you dancing there
I couldn't get you off my mind
But I could tell, that you could tell
That I was taking my time

But I was thinking of ways
To get you staying the night
Your body's shaking
Turn me on, so I can turn off the lights

The lyrics sound extremely nervous as is, but they are so scared they have to turn the lights off now, too? Kids!

Not so much the lyrics, but the combination of facetious fawning and smug togetherness in this song still makes my skin crawl :-

All I Really Want to do is made far creepier by Saville's intro.

Lyrically, this could be one of the most famous examples. Personally I love the song, really catchy.

Musically, a few "Baroque pop" songs have a certain "Halloween-eque" vibe to them. This video captures it real well.
