If there is ever one song that you should not listen under the influence of hallucinogens or other mind-altering substances, it would be "Pizza Song," quite possibly one of the creepiest-sounding tracks in existence.

I kept thinking is that the Olsen twins? Then I saw the tags.
Song made me think of Ween. I'd put it up there with Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down) on the creepy scale.

Another one to avoid under the influence - Skinny Puppy's Left Hand Shake.

This is somehow very, very creepy and also giving me VIVID AS FUCK flashbacks to the whole zeitgeist of the mid-'90s.

The "normal" version may be even creepier though (or since) it lacks the over-the-top deliberate craziness of the slow reverby PCP world version. It sounds less like the inside of Manson's head but the fact that some people went to a not insignificant expense and effort to bring it into existence as wholesome kid's entertainment...

I think music's quality is directly proportional to how much it's been slowed down.
Consider Justin Bieber's U Smile, and then it slowed down 800%. It becomes the best meditation song ever, rather than a mediocre pop song by an overrated tween idol.
I suppose that every song is probably just a snipped, slowed down, from the ur-song, a song that lives in the collective unconsciousness. It's a blaring, horrid blast that's over in under a millisecond that sounds truly awful, but from it, we can derive every song that we have ever enjoyed.
They'll find it as scientists learn to better reverse-engineer brains. But it will take audio technology beyond what we currently possess to process it.

Gimme Pizza music video from "You're Invited To Mary-Kate and Ashley's Sleepover Party" Staring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and featuring Cara DeLizia (Fi from "So Weird"). Composed by Jeremy Sweet, Ron Kenan, Kussa Mahchi, and Shuki Levy.video aside, those olsen twins are creepy in any context.

Just want to chime in as a counterpoint that I am about the right age to have seen this as an actual under-ten year old, and my sister and I LOVED this video, though I still have nightmares about being forced to eat the pizza created in this song. That said, this version is creepy as sin.

I adore artistic interventions like this—a found object, given the most minimal, Zen-like, almost thoughtless of treatments—like being brushed with a feather—and coming out the other end as something profoundly different and strange and magical and glorious.
Or perhaps I'm overthinking this. P-I-Z-Z-A, GIMME PIZZA

This is so addictive. And concur, the original is just as creepy. Those are some of the fastest edits in the history of asscinema. The editor must have been on ridic amounts of amphetamines. I can just picture the director, high as a kite, late night editing this kidlet video screaming "FASTER, make it FASTER! I'm a genius!"

What was creepiest to me was that I didn't recognize the Olsen Twins, because I just saw a pair of healthy little girls instead of sallow, drug-addled waifs.

The weird thing about the full-speed one is how unnatural the voices are. Slowed down, sure, it's all hellish, but at full speed it becomes apparent that the voices are just overdubbed by adults putting on falsettos.
