** The instruments in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=953PkxFNiko My Name Is Mud]]" are a percussive bass and a strident guitar who can come as a JumpScare the first time you listen to it, but it's nothing compared to the ([[BlackComedy darkly comedic]]) lyrics: a man [[MurderBallad describes how he killed]] another with [[BatterUp a baseball bat]] because [[DisproportionateRetribution he stepped on his shoes]]. The clip is even more sinister, as you can see Mud burying his victim and singing the song [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou while looking at the viewer]] with a SlasherSmile.

As [[{{Funny/Primus}} hilarious]] as Primus can get, they are equally capable of [[NightmareFuel making creepy songs, too]].

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOdo7dhvSwg Mr. Krinkle]]" music is as sinister, even if the bass is replaced by a double bass: the lyrics are also pretty dark, as it depicts a man's life being slowly destroyed in his twilight years. The video clip makes it worse, at it is a circus parade who looks like a big fever dream: Les Claypool's pigman suit clearly is on the ([[UnintentionalUncannyValley Unintentional]]) UncannyValley territory.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikKophOlAkM Bob]]", the lyrics being about a skinhead who commits suicide by hanging himself in the doorway of his apartment, where his wife and son find him. (Presumably) His woman is angered and hurt by it,"Ler" felt sorry for him, but Les never gets over it. The end of the song simply repeats the first few words of the course in a very creepy [[MadnessMantra madness mantra]].
* The cowboy costumes the band wears on [[https://youtu.be/aYDfwUJzYQg Wynona's Big Brown Beaver]] are straight out of the deepest, darkest trenches of the UncannyValley.
* "Over the Electric Grapevine" certainly qualifies; from the intensity and panic of the main hook, to the primal drumming, to the urgency and cacophony of everything from the 4-minute mark onwards.
* A lot of ''Primus and the Chocolate Factory'' qualifies for this if you're familiar with the original songs, but fittingly, "Semi-Wondrous Boat Ride" is a particularly triumphant example, being a cover of [[{{Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory}} the film's]] most infamously scary scene. Well, there's that and the fact that Wonka's psychotic scream is replaced with Les giving an EvilLaugh.
*** The fact that the album closes with Les tearfully singing "Pure Imagination" while Larry's guitar part imitates a passing emergency siren doesn't help.
* There's the MV for "The Devil Went to Georgia" as well, particularly the bit where the demons rise up from the ground, then get violently dragged back down once their part is done.
