When I was very little (4 and under) my father would sing and play the guitar for me...one of his favorites was a song called "The Pony Man" which scared the absolute hell out of me. It was actually nice song, but all I could get out of it was a bogey-man type of charcter, who lived in the barn and ate trash. It resulted in a recurring nightmare with the pony man eating ME, and whispering "Bah, Bah..." in my ear. After not thinking about this for years, I heard it wafting up the hill to my house from an outdoor show at a public pool a few years ago, and I got that same cold chill and irrational terror. Funny what will do it to you...
