Khmer romvong | khem maraksery mun 2015 | khem maraksery mun | khmer old song happy new year 2014 is though I liked both bands, I cannot recollect having been scared of either of them. I can, however, vividly recall some popular songs from my youth that scared me each time they came on the radio.

These ten songs are actually legitimate hits, unlike "The Monster Mash" and other novelty tunes that get air play every Halloween. These scary tunes were recorded by famous artists, many of whom have been inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame.

Each one is scary for a different reason, be it an unusual musical instrument or uneasy tempo or chilling lyric. Here are the then scariest non-Halloween songs ever recorded.

"Loves Me Like a Rock" by Paul Simon: Even though it mentions the devil, the terrifying parts of the song are the haunting backing vocals by The Dixie Hummingbirds.

"Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles: As a kid I was frightened not at all by the song's theme of growing old. What made me tremble was the octet of classical string instruments and the absence of any Beatles playing on it.

"25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago: I was always a little mystified about the title, but the frightening part of the song is the four-chord progression throughout that clamors for, and at the same time prevents, escape. It is temporarily relieved by the intrusion of brass instruments, only to quickly return.

"Space Oddity" by David Bowie: Countdowns are always scary to me, and the one starting this account of Major Tom is quite harrowing. Even eerier is the chaotic swirl of music that seems to endlessly pervade, especially after something goes wrong with the space capsule.

"Death on Two Legs" by Queen: Those who feel uneasy upon hearing the Bismillah and overall tone of "Bohemian Rhapsody" better stay away from the opening song on A Night at the Opera. This Freddie Mercury track about revenge creeps in with an innocent piano tinkle before being invaded by haunting howls and screams from John Deacon's bass and Brian May's quintessential electric guitar.
