Black belt caterpillar wrestler 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC (87* d) RE: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC 09 Oct 21


I suppose that what makes a song disturbing is the images and feelings that it conjures in your imagination, whether fear, pity or indignation.

On that basis I would nominate "Penny Evans" for the line "and every month I mail the damned thing back".

Another song that I stopped singing as it gave me an uneasy feeling was Richard Thompson's "House of cards".
