Hey little girl, do you need a ride?
Well, I've got room in my wagon why don't you hop inside
We could cruise down Robert Street all night long
but I think I'll just rape you, and kill you instead
Diane, Diane, Diane
I heard there's a party down at Lake Cove
It would be so much easier if I drove
We could check it out, we could go and see
Oh won't you come and take a ride with me
We could lay in the weeds for little while
I'll put your clothes in a nice, neat little pile
You're the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life
It's all over now, and with my knife.

One of the Husker's best songs, and easily one of the creepiest songs ever recorded. Yikes.
I always thought this was a Therapy? song. Both versions are as good as each other.
I think Ebowtheletter has this one covered!

Sadly, the police made a mess of this case by not preventing more attacks.
-- This is one of HD's best and creepiest songs and as one of two songs by Grant on Metal Circus, I think it was the start of the great songwriter rivalry that ultimately ended the band.
Mould's sound is incredible like electrified molasses coming out the speakers.
A very haunting song told from the perspective of a psychopathic killer. Reminds me a bit of the Dead Kennedy's song "The Prey." PS the link in elwyn5150's post no longer works.
