thanx for putting the police at the number one slot... i have been telling people for years that it is the stalker song

I always thought Blondie's "One way or another" was one of the ultimate stalker songs. Kristen Bell's killer karaoke performance in Veronica Mars captured it's creepiness perfectly.

Don't forget Mr. Mister's Broken Wings...If that song isn't stalker-tastic, i don't know what is.

You should hear "If I was a house" by Beasts and Super Beasts http://www.myspace.com/beastsandsuperbeasts
"If I was a house... Only you, would stay forever... and if you ever left me you'd have to burn me down... (musical discord)"
Creepy.

Another psycho love song is "I Wanna Have Your Babies" by Natasha Bedingfield.
"Trust me it would scare you if you knew what was goin' on in my brain. Trust me it would scare you that I've picked out the church, all the schools, all the names."

Isn't "Luka" about a boy that suffered abuse from the adults he lived with (parents, wtv)? Well, at least that's what I always thought.
Jena said:
Wasn't Luka about child abuse?
Also, Sting later admitted that Police song was actually about an ex stalking someone... I bet that ruins a lot of people's wedding track lists... =)
