What's the wierdest, most bizzare song you've ever heard? I've heard a few myself, but I know I'm probably missing out on quite a bit.
'Banana Phone' ranks among the top of the list here. Bizzare, catchy, and just plain silly. :D God bless Raffi and his addicting song of bananas. 'It Puts The Lotion On Its Skin', by Greenskeepers, is quite a piece too...Most people can probably see what that's based on, of course, heheh.
So, what've you guys got for the stockpile?

a lot of songs by Cibo Matto are weird. Know Your Chicken and Birthday Cake, for two...
My Name is Nobody by Ennio Morricone because the title seems to suggest that it is the theme song for The Man with No Name from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but...when you hear the song it's like wait what

Well, truthfully, the whole Miss Nelson and Bruce album for kids (Bruce Haack) is pretty weird. I can't really see that making any sense musically to kids. Although, I love the damn thing.

"Opblaaskrokodil" by Ome Henk - also known as "French Erotic Film" because of the animutation made by Andrew Kepple. It's clearly terrible, but once you've heard it it will be stuck in your brain forever.

My friends are weird, I have a vast selection of strange songs.
Okay, just found another...'Milkman', by Aphex Twin. I never knew there were breakfast references in techno, but I suppose I was shown differently! Also, I believe I'm going to have to check some of these out.
Ummm... yeah. That song really doesn't have much to do with breakfast. At all. Unless you're a "morning" person...
Once a long, long time ago, "March of the Pigs" by NiN freaked me the hell out. But that's when I was very first starting to get into NiN, and the little tinkly piano bit made me back up a few paces, literally.
Weird songs... "House of God" is a weird one. Not so much from the lyrics, which sound pretty evangelist, but because of the music video I saw once, which looked like it was completely animated on a chalkboard with little stick devils stabbing pitchforks into churches and... yeah...
"They're coming to take me away" by Napoleon XIV.
I LOVE that song! Makes me bounce every time I hear it...
Really anything by Beck's pretty weird. Have you listened to the lyrics? No sense, at all.
Have you heard the German Barbershop Quartet covers of the Britney Spears songs? Those make me kinda queasy.
Oh! Speaking of which, go look up Richard Cheese, immediately. He is a strange little man. Crazy lounge lizards....

Definatley most of "They Might be Giants"
a lot of their stuff is just plain different. I like how they think though. Their "Kids" songs are great. Truly great.
Also, specifically, Fintroll's Försvinn du som lyser because the beat and how they sing it make NO SENSE AT ALL with the lyrics. I don't speak finnish, so I looked up the lyrics. I'm like That don't make any sense!!!! LOL.
Or "Turn around" by They Might Be Giants:
I was working all night in my office
When a man I had recently killed
Called me up from a phone near my building
So I looked out the window at him
He had the same obsequious manner
That was the reason I had him killed
So to calm my nerves I sang this song
To him, over the phone
Turn around, turn around
There's a thing there that can be found
Turn around, turn around
It's a human skull on the ground
Human skull on the ground
Turn around
I was out by myself in the graveyard
I was doing an interpretive dance
When I felt something heavy and pointed
Strike me in the back of the neck
And then the ghost of my dance instructor
Pushed me down into an open grave
And as dirt rained down she played a xylophone
And sang me this song
Turn around, turn around
There's a thing there that can be found
Turn around, turn around
It's a human skull on the ground
Human skull on the ground
Turn around
We were waving our arms out the window
Of a fast moving passenger train
Acting in an irresponsible fashion
Until the engineer whose back had been turned
And who we thought would find us highly amusing
Quickly swiveled his head around
And his face which was a paper-white mask of evil
Sang us this song
Turn around, (round) turn around (round)
There's a thing there that can be found (there's a thing there that can be)
Turn around, (found) turn around (round)
It's a human skull on the ground (it's a human skull on the)
Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)
Turn around (turn around, turn around)
Turn around, (round) turn around (round)
There's a thing there that can be found (there's a thing there that can be)
Turn around, (found) turn around (round)
It's a human skull on the ground (it's a human skull on the)
Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)
Turn around (turn around, turn around)

Most music of Einstürzende Neubauten is strange and freaky, not listenable unless you are into that kind of things.
Their music features things like a sudden burst of distorted screaming, shouting and then a silence, with only the machinated background can be heard, and then screaming again.

"Scissor man" by Primus. I think it's a cover, but I dunno who...
Catchy... but in a bad way. x_x
A friend who started a flash toon with the song going here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49934282/
All this is going on my playlist :D although I already have TMBG and SOAD for starters...
I lack the discipline to restrict myself to a single track so:
* Frontier Psychiatrist (The Avalanches)
* Any Weebl & Bob bastardisation. Particularly the Pie edition to Timberlake's Sexyback ("look out for the walrus!!!")
* Please tell me you've heard of the legend that was Wesley Willis, and most of the Casiocore genre rocks my socks in a teeny-bopper way.
If we allow art music in here, then look no further than the wonders of Complexity! I mean by definition it has to be downright strange, we're talking about taking instruments to and often past their acoustic limits.
* Eight Songs for a Mad King (Maxwell Davies...y'all MUST listen to this. Better yet, watch a stage performance of it.)
Also, one could go back to where classical music stopped making sense because it apparently had to: serialism and the 12-tone scale...I'm not going to bother listing examples.

Edit: Alright, I keep thinking about this and coming up with parts of songs. First of all, too much TMBG to mention. Then there's part of a Bauhaus song I don't know the name of that goes "Fish cakes (fish cakes) Fish cakes (fish cakes) Smash em on the wall! Smash em on the wall! (oh no! <- in a very small voice)" that is completely unrelated to the rest of the song. And there was totally unitelligible a song I heard while driving home in the middle of the night that featured a bunch of '50s people being very excited about something called the "wizbang." But yeah, my vote would probably be with TMBG if I could pick one :b

Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or the D-Day Dj's Got the D.D.T. Blues - Gong
The longest titled song in my collection and the most randomly stupid.... In fact it's in this (http://robomilk.sirkain.net/csnmedia/randomradio/randomradio-february-2007-show-2) edition of my podcast.
"Revolution! Good vibration! Manifestation!"
"Sticks. And. Stones. Won't. Break. His. Dreams. NO!"
"Fe fi fo fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!

The Alabama Song, by David Bowie. No matter how many times I hear it, it just stays WEIRD. The lyrics and line delivery are where the weirdness starts:
"Oh show us the way to the next whiskey bar,
Oh don't ask why,
Oh don't ask why,
For me must find the next whiskey bar,
For if we don't find the next whiskey bar,
I tell you we must die,
I tell you we must die,
I tell you, I tell you,
I tell you we must die!"
He sounds kind of drunk, or high, or just plain weird Bowie (a mix of all three is most likely), and the background music is just as odd. It's been a little while since I heard it last, but I believe there is a sped-up Bowie singing in the background at one part... I don't know, this is just bizarre.

'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles' and 'I am the Walrus - The Beatles' are two very weird psychedelic songs made from people who were on crack.
'Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me - TISM' is a strange song about a common paranoia.
Pink Floyd songs that are very weird: 'The Trial', 'Is There Anybody Out There?', 'Don't Leave Me Now', and any song from the Wall.
'Song For the Dumped - Ben Folds' is a strange breakup song with lots of silly anger.
Anything from Beck is awkward. Go Beck.

The deedeedee song.
A song I heard while watching TV late at night several months back. The show it was on made fun of music videos and one of them had zombies. And the zombies sang "You gotta shoot us in the brains."
And even stranger (and morbidly hilarious) was when these little kid zombies sang in their little kid voices... "You gotta shoooot us in the braaaaainnnn."
I laughed my butt off. But yes.
And there was this one techno song my friend let me listen to... I think it was by Lords of Acid... It went through the alphabet and listed different sexual things for each letter (like "A is for asphixiation"...) and it ended with a rendition of Twinkle twinkle little star...

Then there's part of a Bauhaus song I don't know the name of that goes "Fish cakes (fish cakes) Fish cakes (fish cakes) Smash em on the wall! Smash em on the wall! (oh no! <- in a very small voice)" that is completely unrelated to the rest of the song.
It's called, if I recall correctly, "1. Daniel Ash 2. Peter Murphy 3. David Jay 4. Kevin Haskins" and is basically one section for each member of the band. I suspect it's an Exquisite Corpse, if you're familiar with that method of creating art, but haven't read anything officially to that effect
So, weirdest song then. I'm going to go with a lyrical approach and cite Nurse With Wound's "Two Shaves And A Shine", the lyrics of which are:
Little sunrise with goblin eyes
I watch the coupling of the flies
and waving trees and bumble bees
I strain to amputate my knees..
With cockroach cutters made of mutton
my eyes dim green as moss jay buttons
I will not wake from childish dreams
I can not bare to catch the screams
I cannot bare to catch the screams
of bugs impacting on windshield screens
I shave my tongue with turquoise sickle
from its stub the fishes trickle
my stunted fingers, piss stained knuckles
clogged with blood start to buckle
murdered turtles, mildews, moss
dead pets and gardens im the boss
my smile is wide in seas of cider
pull your teeth with geese & spiders
cap these jaws in my hand
make them jig in globs of sand
I write these words to pass the time
and stay alive 2 shaves and shine
and block out the sound of chickens' wails
defeathering them on beds of nails
yeah...
Sorry for quoting the whole thing, but the lyrics aren't available online (thanks to some guy known only to me as Rich for the transcription). Now, musically I'd be up a creek without a paddle, because I listen to a lot of weird music and couldn't hope to pick just one. Horrific Child's album L'etrange Mr. Whinster is basically an absurdist horror movie made up of cut-up sounds, instrumental weirdness, screams and portentious poetry readings. Then Nurse With Wound again have "The Penis Fruitloop", which is about fifteen minutes of ambient drone followed by two or three of rock'n'roll swing, then a few more of abrasive clanging and banging and then finally a long drums-only outro

Yes, Merzbow is very much the Man, although I think we're pushing it a bit for weirdest "songs" with him. If we accept all sounds presented as "music" for the purposes of this discussion then I suspect JLIAT wins. I have a 3" CD from him that's just a single 4-minute track of a continuous click. He just programmed a random value for one frame of audio and let it repeat every second. Then again there might be weirder things than that which I've yet to encounter
Mind you then again maybe JLIAT doesn't see himself as making music at all. I need to do some more research into that

I just started getting big into the Beach Boys again, and found a new one.
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow (originally Fire) by Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys. He was on a lot of drugs during this period.

Yahpp - "VaNaVaRa"
This nightmarish music isn't only weird... But I found it disturbing to hear as well. Here's the Video Clip...

If for some reason you loved this music, you can download it from E-Yahpp's Official Home page (Korean).

It's called, if I recall correctly, "1. Daniel Ash 2. Peter Murphy 3. David Jay 4. Kevin Haskins" and is basically one section for each member of the band. I suspect it's an Exquisite Corpse, if you're familiar with that method of creating art, but haven't read anything officially to that effect
You know Bauhaus. PRAISE GOTH! There may be hope after all. *,..,*
I saw them last year with *gag* NIN and Peter Murphy was STILL sizzlin' hawt!
A lot of Rozz William's stuff is really weird, but Heltir and Premature Ejaculation take the cake. I also love the interlude tracks on "Catastrophe Ballet"... "there was a man in a huge white goat's head... they can be made transparent".

Anything by the Beatles that is LSD-inspired is both great and wierd. "A Day In The Life", anyone?
Also, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Greeeeeeat stuff.
Yeah, it's all messed up, but such genius... I heard day in the life yesterday on the way home from work, and upon actually listening to what the lyrics were, there was a plot, but there didn't seem to be much direction to it, kinda like the book im reading now "Resturant at the end of the universe" by Douglas Adams (from the "Hitchikers" series)
"Scissor man" by Primus. I think it's a cover, but I dunno who...
Catchy... but in a bad way. x_x
A friend who started a flash toon with the song going here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49934282/
I would say anything by primus is wierd enough... some others that come to mind would be "Pork Soda," "Mr. Krinkle," and "Shake hands with beef"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i8vjtoX8q0
well...its really the gayest.
I don't know, the "Ding Dong Song" by Gunther may have that beat...
http://dingdingdong.ytmnd.com/
Then again, i dont know... yeah, your song wins for being the gayest.
As for me, i'm an avid fan of bonus tracks... The kind where bands run out of shit to put on an album, so they spend 20 minutes dicking around and filling the time with the most usless shit in existance.
My all time favorite bonus track is from Science by Incubus. It's by far the scariest and trippiest thing to listen to, especially if you're alone in the house, and trying to sleep.
The original Slipknot consisted of 4 people (the drummer and the bassist being the only two still with the band), and they put out an album called "Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat." The bonus track is this insanely fucked up and out of tune song called Dogfish Rising. The lyrics literally make no sense whatsoever, and there is quite an abundance of simpsons sound clips, and a guy in the background screaming "IT PUTS THE LOTION ON THE SKIN!!!!" at one point they fuck up with a sound clip, and you hear the guy scream "Oh shit!"
There was also a song on that album called "Bitchslap." It starts off as your typical hardcore song with a fast and heavy verse envolving your typical screaming and ranting. Out of fucking nowhere, the song turns into a disco piece and they start singing like it's 1975, and it concludes with the guy going "Man, ya like school in summer! No class!" I still have to laugh every time i hear that.

Anything by Wesley Willis. The man is a fucking genius. Anyone who yells "SUCK A DOBERMAN'S COCK / ROCK SADDAM HUSSEIN'S ASS / DON'T ROB BANKS / STOP TAKING ME ON FREAK OUT HELL BUS RIDES" and other such lessons in an angry fat black man voice over a Casio keyboard loop deserves a lot of money.

Woah, I've got far too many to count and/or name off. But here's a couple to start things off:
"Thou Shalt Always Kill" - Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip
A bible written about being cool, neatly packaged in the form of British hip-hop. Quite possibly one of the coolest songs I've ever heard, ever. YouTube for the music video--it's POSSIBLY even better.
"Szerencsétlen" - Venetian Snares
Brain-blitzing hardcore IDM drill 'n' bass with orchestral intros, breaks, melodies and outros--all in sparatic, chaotic, signature 7/4 time. Not recommended for those who don't like having their heads blow up and their ears (and speakers) blown out.
And then there's this one song that I think is by Dr. Demento (?!), and he keeps saying in the song something close to:
"Are ya sticky? Are ya wicked? Are ya hot enough?" Anyone who can identify this will forever be deemed "spectacupendous".
That's all for tonight, folks. Enjoi.

The first thing I thought was "oh cool, Grace Jones has a brother." Actually I liked the first half of it, not so much when the keyboards came in

Oh, YES! Definitely, that is one of them. "Sugar" - S.o.a.D. is another one of them, right? Also see "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song".
Really though, possibly the weirdest ones EVER is, of course, "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!" - Napoleon XIV. There's even a modern cover of it on iTunes since the original isn't available, and it's very excellent. (The original came out in about 1966. :O ) Amazing. He's talking about either his wife, or his dog. More evidence points to the former.
Well, you just wait: they'll find you yet.
And when they do, they'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.,
You mangy mutt!
