The flattened, or diminished, fifth lies exactly halfway along the chromatic scale and inverts to itself, ie it is the same distance from either root. Spooky. When root and flattened fifth are played together, the sound isn't altogether pleasant therefore long ago the flattened fifth was referred to as 'Diabolous in musica' or the Devil in music!  ! ! !
However it still turns up quite a lot in music, especially dominant sevenths.
So despite it's unpleasantness we just can't resist it's devilish power.
Feel free to draw your own parallels.

ok, own parallels drawn. I'm unpleasantly irresistible. I can live with that 
Now here's an interesting fact. I read many years ago that cats don't like augmented chords. We tested it on our own cat and low and behold, it turned out to be true. He'd be sound asleep and if Kirk played an augmented chord a few times, he (the cat) would get up and run from the room. Strange...

It's the devil I tell ya.....
That's freaky. I don't have a cat to try it on. I would try it with the kids but they only have to see me pick the guitar up before they run from the room.

Nowhere-man, taking part in this frivolous post has helped push your posts beyond the 50 mark so congratulations, member. 
Let's just hope someone's in a better mood today and doesn't move the goalposts again.

Thank you Simon.
Famous at last!! Had to get there somehow. 
When you say "someone" to whom might you be referring?
