“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.

Gods away on business by tom waits
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.
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.

OK, now that’s just weird!
Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3
Where’s Number 6?

Xenophobia - The Korgis
Seduction - Black Widow

“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.
👊
Most Tom Cardy stuff but id recommend close up magician for a decent but weird song
“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
I loved loot that body 🤣
You’re a short motherfucker and nobody likes you! Short!
Especially Transcendental Cha Cha Cha
Ween’s entire discography. Including the unreleased jingle they did for Domino’s.
The one most people would probably find the weirdest is Pepper Coyote - no cock like horse cock
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!
Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon
That’s probably the least weird Neil Cicierega track on my playlists.
Thank you for reminding me about Lemon Demon.
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.
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
