Hair standing up (aka piloerection) is a corollary effect of goose bumps, and both effects represent involuntary reflexes.
Good choice!
Seconded.
Never 'eard of it until right now. It's a bit Transfusion, innit?I have a high tolerance for what many people consider unnerving music - I even sort of appreciate Diamanda Galas.
The song I can't handle though is DOA by Bloodrock. Just...no. Not even linking a video here
A fun bit of trivia - Bloodrock played at a co-workers prom back in the early 70's. That must have been a real hoot.
The BBC one, I remember seeing that and as you say, what were they thinking? It's like the start of a sci fi episode about aliens watching us. With less eerie music it'd be pleasant.
I can imagine it would, it's an eerie sort of song. The reason it never gave me the creeps is because, as a small child, I had the idea that it had been used in The Planet of the Apes, specifically in a scene where the apes could fly. I recall vividly watching this in the theater, which is amusing since 1. both the song and the movie came out before I was born, and 2. the scene doesn't exist.
Were you mixing it up with the "Fly my pretties, fly!" Sequence in the Wizard of Oz?I can imagine it would, it's an eerie sort of song.

Next time you hear it, just imagine apes with wings swooping through the air and it will seem less unnerving.
You just want me to have nightmares for the rest of my life, don't you....I can imagine it would, it's an eerie sort of song.

A band from Fort[ean] Worth gave us that one hit wonder.I have a high tolerance for what many people consider unnerving music - I even sort of appreciate Diamanda Galas.

I had the record and used to crank it up on Hallowe'en.
Yeah, what is it with Fort Worth? It also gave us Possum Kingdom by the Toadies. Which isn't on the same level of unnerving as DOA but also not something you want to hear while driving around in the middle of the night. (Speaking from experience, here.)

Also, how telling is it that we're both up at 4 AM discussing unnerving songs.
I'd forgotten about the face-pulling!
