Roy Orbison is king of this. Lou Reed, Richard Hawley, maybe? Orbison's "Blue Bayou" is sorta the template, long drifting shot of guy sitting alone in a diner, obsessing over the girl he loved/shot/divorced whatever.
Anybody have any other ideas?

It's kind of funny to call Orbison the "king" of "vaguely creepy Lynchian nostalgia" since Lynch is actually the king of taking vaguely creepy stuff like Roy Orbison -- in one of the most memorable scenes in Blue Velvet -- and bringing out the creepiness in it.

I'm sure there was a thread called "drunk and creepy" started way back that would have lots of this kind of stuff. Tom Waits, Elvis, Cave, that sort of thing.

Good call on Shangri-Las "Past, Present and Future". Creepy as hell.

"Pink Cigarette" by Mister Bungle. Also this fan video is fairly Lynchian.

Surely one of the creepiest things ever recorded: 'O Willow Waly' from The Innocents soundtrack. Sung by Isla Cameron, I think, music by Georges Auric and Daphne Oram.
