The creepiest tune ever
I was watching TV the other night (I watch TV most nights, but you have to start a post some way), and it struck me that the creepiest tune ever must be that circus/clown tune they use in The Simpsons. You know, the one that goes like this:
doot doot doodle oodle OOT doot do do
doot doot doodle oodle oot doot do do
doot-doodle oot oot
doot-doodle oot oot
doodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-oodle doot doot(thanks Capn in this Ask MeFi discussion)
It’s a familiar sounding melody (Thunder and Blazes by Julius Fucik) of the kind that makes me uncomfortable under normal circumstances, but the Simpsons version somehow almost makes me shiver. Maybe it’s the key it’s played in, or something, but I find it really, really creepy. Is it just me, or does anyone else get the same feeling?
And for “the stickiest tune ever”, check this post (at your own risk).
