What are some of the weirdest songs on your playlist?
"Weird" to be interpreted at the reader's discretion.
Looking for some cool new tunes.
I'll get the ball rolling with one of mine: Scaretale by Nightwish. That song is all over the place... it's like haunted fantasy carnival jingle metal. Love it.
Most Tom Cardy stuff but id recommend close up magician for a decent but weird song
I loved loot that body 🤣
You're a short motherfucker and nobody likes you! Short!
"H.y.c.b.h" is one of my favorite songs
"Why am I anxious?" Is a personal attack
I HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR RING
BUT HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR RING
Especially Transcendental Cha Cha Cha
The one most people would probably find the weirdest is Pepper Coyote - no cock like horse cock
Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon
Thank you for reminding me about Lemon Demon.
That's probably the least weird Neil Cicierega track on my playlists.
Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes. It's banjos and a proper upbeat hoe-down vibe alongside lyrics talking about crushing poverty and killing one of your children so you can afford to feed the others and ends with the narrator hanging themselves. It's bleak as fuck and very not my normal jam, but somehow it grew on me and I love it.
Bonus: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Just a song about Godzilla smashing up Tokyo set to some pretty fun music.
I don't know how I missed Country Death Song, thank you for sharing! Playing it now. Might have to go through their discog today
Take your pick.
Here are several different types of weird. They’re not all on the same playlist.
Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel
Jan Böhmermann - Faschismus is Back
Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol
Too Many Zooz - Noda
Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3
Hiromi Uehara - Canon in D
2CELLOS - Thunderstruck
Captain Tractor - The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
The Arrogant Worms - Carrot Juice is Murder
Autechre and Hiromi are awesome
Celentano isn't being weird, though, he's just proving a point
He may be proving a point about phonemes and the general sounds of languages, and many others have made similar points as well. That doesn’t make it less weird to listen and try to understand the song as an actual speaker of the mimicked language. Especially if it just shows up on your playlist and you tell your friends it’s just some obscure Elvis song.
Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3
Where's Number 6?
MaxNormal TikTikTik. MaxNormal is a weird culty band, and TikTikTik is a strange song about not doing meth
Random smattering of Eurovision picks, Who The Hell is Edgar by Teya and Salena (Austria) is a hilarious banger and commentary on Spotify profits to artists. Also, No Rules by Windows95man was pure brilliance.
Power metal classics and a few covers of 80s hits.
TV theme songs, but the full full 3-4 minute song.
Weird Al's Hamilton Polka is top tier.
Plus some Disco era A and B sides, West African old school "palm wine music," songs from a few musicals including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode.
You know, just, like, normal stuff.
My wife tells me I have “David Lynch taste in music,” and while that sounds like a compliment to me, she does not mean it to be one.
Kate Bush’s Suspended in Gaffa
Dresden Dolls’ Coin-Operated Boy
Peaches is awesome, she is a true musical artist.
Huh, that's a tough one. I have three whole playlists of increasingly weird stuff, so it's hard to narrow it down to one. Maybe something by French TV or Henry Cow? I'll have to listen through it later to find the stuff that barely counts as music.
Edit: yeah that's a really tough one, I really like weird music. Here's a sampler I guess, a few different varieties of "weird":
Help, I'm a Rock - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
Kissing Toads Again - Jan Two-Sleeves
The Secret Life of Walter Riddle - French TV
Lime Jelly Grass - Renaldo & The Loaf
The World Of Genius Hans - Moving Gelatine Plates
Adagio Ma Non Troppo - Charles Mingus
Musique Mecanique I - The Carla Bley Band
Lick My Decals Off Baby - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
I'll Never Shed Another Tear - Stash Wyslouch
I've got a thing for avante-jazz.
Ween's entire discography. Including the unreleased jingle they did for Domino's.
Ain't nothing quite like a robot on a bike
Dog Fashion Disco. I call it Circus-core. It's too dark and offensive to be taken seriously by most people, but it's got some good music behind it. And I once got to see them in a bar with a $10 cover. Fantastic show!
Pour Some Urine on Me, my Leper Friend.
Don't fall asleep or we'll mutilate your genitals!
Check out the following artists:
King Missile
Jesus Was Way Cool
I do not have a unique weirdest song. It's hard to decide. I will left this in this comment.
A lot of people would consider Jon Bellion or AJR wierd.
John Bellion- Low was insanely catchy
Big Enough, unironically.
Love that song
I’ve always got this on my phone:
Hitachi hard-drive project - nariko version
K on my D + C Partyboi69, Juicy Romance
I think the weirdest stuff I have would be from YTMND, you're the man now dog.
Poland tool kit https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xl9S5WMEqa
Xenu fights back https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rsLle83oZ0w
The Sound of Animals Fighting. Maybe Billy Talent.
A bunch of Haywood banks songs for sure
How do you not choose Toast?
Ahh, my christmas playlist
Rudolph the Coked Out Reindeer - Kamikazi
Pretty much any Christmas song from them tbh. Best version of Jingle Bells, Batman Smells.
Melancholic Crossroads I like loads of her stuff. Current favourite is WW3 but she does slower stuff
Van Morrison - Ring Worm
I love the story behind that album.
4’33” best song ever!!
I’m the Supervisor - Infected Mushroom
I honestly recommend everything from them if you’re looking for unique sound. The He.art album by Astrix also has some weird.
Enigma also has some great soundscapes. My personal favorite album is MCMX A.D.
Mr. Bungle, or most of Mike Patton's discography, is hella weird.
My favorite has to be "My Ass is on Fire". Trust me when I say it's like a mad science experiment, made into a song.
The girls of porn want more!
These songs were actually in the queue and I find them weird, but I'm pretty sure they are not OP is asking for...
Xenophobia - The Korgis
Seduction - Black Widow
but I’m pretty sure they are not OP is asking for…
"at the reader’s discretion" :D
I figure the odds of any one comment here aligning with my personal taste are pretty low; but the goal was to stick my head out of that bubble for a bit, and y'all have delivered! It's been fun checking out everyone's recommendations, even if they aren't being added to my own playlists.
👊
Disco snails-
https://youtu.be/oAZBKlVSLkU
El Chombo - Chaccaron https://youtu.be/MlW7T0SUH0E
Igorrr - Brutal swing https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua5N0cNnhYY
Unreal Super Hero 3: Keygen music I came across. It took me a while to find the title, and now it's in my playlist.
Mad Machine: Does it count as a music?
OD Life from the Sunset Overdrive OST is a good one that's weird.
Just off the top
Fuck, I've got so many weird ones that I can't nearly shoehorn enough of them in here without writing a laundry list. If you want a band that's done solid work top-to-bottom for decades though, take a look at the Melvins.
If you're into pirate shit lol
To the bar - Cooper Alan Rockstar sea shanty - Nickelback / lottery winners
"A Thai Wedding" by Imade Saputra. My kid loves it too. Not as easy to sing along with as you'd think.
Poop in My Fingernails or really any song from that album. Makes putting Spotify on Shuffle All a real crap shoot.
Huun Huur Tu - Kombu
You guys aren't that weird
This could be even weirder depending on your perspective
"When the spirit of war will rise above me" by Wojnar
This bluegrass band who covers pop music tunes called the Cleverlys, and their rendition of the song Low. Shawty got them apple bottomed jeans and the boots with the fur is hilarious with a banjo and stand up bass.
Oh god...
My taste in music is dictated entirely by whether or not I think a song is fun to sing. I keep everything in one eclectic super playlist. These are a few of the songs I’ll skip if I have normal people in my car, so they’re a bit weird or at least have an uncommon sound/vibe.
