Anyone else notice that a lot of showtunes come across a tad stalker-ish? I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite somewhat creepy songs are.
Mine's probably "Johanna."

ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE.
Complete stalker song. I love it, though.

These are great!
I'm starting to think "Her Face" from Carnival qualifies as a stalker song, too.

"Let Me Come Home" is a stalker song?

"And I Am Telling You"
I'm stayin', I'm stayin', and you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me. Doesn't get any more stalkerish than that.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"Loving You" from Passion.
Come on, Fosca totally stalks him.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Posted: 2/25/07 at 11:44amI'll second "On the Street Where You Live". Completely stalkerish.
Hear the words I sing: war's a horrid thing. So, I sing sing sing... Ding a ling a ling.

Posted: 2/25/07 at 2:00pmI'll second "Unworthy of your love". It's not really stalkerish(at least I don't think it is), but Judge Turpin's Johanna in Sweeney Todd, I find creepy.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 2/25/07 at 2:14pmHow about "Hello, Little Girl" from INTO THE WOODS???
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

"And I Am Telling You" from DREAMGIRLS
BEST STALKER SONG OF ALL TIME! Hands Down!
"I'm not waking up tomorrow morning, and find out that there's nobody there! NO, NO, NO, NO WAY! NO, NO, NO, NO WAY I'm leaving without you! I'm not leaving without you. I don't want to be free! I'm STAYIN! I'm STAYIN! And YOU! And YOU! And YOU! You're gonna LOVE ME!"
I don't know about you, but I'd be scared.

MY EYES ADORED YOU. Jersey Boys.
Ever listed to the lyrics? Pretty sketchy unless you know the back story.

Posted: 2/25/07 at 2:55pm"Hello, Little Girl" is what first came to my mind...

I Put My Hand In (Hello, Dolly!)
I know I know, Dolly is not a stalker, but if you didn't know HER and just knew the song, it would seem a little off IMO...
I twist a little, stir a little, him a little, her a little, shape a little, mold a little, some poor chap gets sold a little...
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order."

Posted: 2/25/07 at 4:09pmI'll third "On the Street Where You Live." It was the first that popped in my head when I read this thread's title.

i'm kinda thinking of, "can't take my eyes off of you" from jersey boys. which is really the four seasons.
".. can't take my eyes off of you, you'd be like heaven to touch, i wanna hold you so much.."
it's sort of romantic, but when you think about it, a little creepy.
hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..

Does 'Lonely Room' from 'Oklahoma!' count? It's a lovely song all about stalking, but it actually kinda is about stalking, rather than just sounding like it... XD
