Buftex Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw5eTaGSKPc Not exactly "haunting" per se, but delightfully creepy. You want "delightfully creepy" check out this old country song by the cult figure, Eddie Noack. Elvis Costello did a pretty poor version of this on "Almost Blue", but the original just embodies creepiness... Another sort of haunting one, from Gram Parsons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veArVcmEn58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've always found really haunting. It's almost too creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't think you can beat Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". But I have two that might be ranked #2 and #3:1. Jeff Buckley covering Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen which I heard for the first time less than a year before he drowned 2. For Squirrels - Mighty KC which was released a couple months after the lead singer and bassist died in a car accident I'm sure someone can nominate something by Elliott Smith Awesome. Glad to know somebody else loves this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stussy109 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 We've had several of these in recent weeks, and I thought I'd bring a new one to the table. My pick...it was within a year of the end of this legend's life. And it was first recorded by an industrial rock band. Every time I hear it, I get tears in my eyes. Quality song, have always liked both versions upon heir initial release. The lyrics in this song, remind me of many of the alice in chains songs regarding addiction and depression.

stuckincincy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'll toss in Sammy Davis Jr., performing "Mr. Bojangles"... Here's Mr. Bojangles himself - Bill Robinson, with his life-long pal, Shirley Temple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjCFYpWDmfM...PL&index=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What truly made Mr. Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" haunting was the accompanying video, crooked wrinkled fingers intermixed with shots of Johnny and June, young and old. His career, legacy and reputation as a true rocker would not have been complete without this song. Next up for me is The Replacements' "Here Comes A Regular." jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Quint Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Pool Shark (acoustic version), Sublime Thats the first song that I thought of, too. Any live version of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQvWrMxgqYw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Gary Jules does an incredible cover of 'Mad World' by Tears for Fears.... It sends chills down my spine. Too bad Adam Lambert had to ruin it on American Idol... It was used amazingly in the Gears of Wars commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Almost anything off the "Final Cut" by Pink Floyd is haunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
