"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.

Here are several different types of weird. They’re not all on the same playlist.

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

I love the story behind that album.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Both by the legendary Frank Zappa:

Stink-Foot

Muffin Man

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Just off the top

  • AmonDüül II -Archangel's Thunderbird
  • Spooky Tooth - Something Got Into Your Life
  • Toxic Reasons - Get Out the Gun
  • The Pink Fairies - The Snake

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.

The one most people would probably find the weirdest is Pepper Coyote - no cock like horse cock

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 10 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Most Tom Cardy stuff but id recommend close up magician for a decent but weird song

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

"H.y.c.b.h" is one of my favorite songs

"Why am I anxious?" Is a personal attack

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I loved loot that body 🤣

Thank you for reminding me about Lemon Demon.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

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?

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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.

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.

  • Game sound tracks (Frank Klepacki).

  • Violin covers of movie themes and game soundtracks (Taylor Davis).

  • Weird Austrian pop band from the 80s (E.A.V.)

  • Jpop.

Take your pick.

Oh! Me too! I also love me some string quartet covers of metal songs.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Or the other way around, Leo Moracchioli is also amazing!

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Melancholic Crossroads I like loads of her stuff. Current favourite is WW3 but she does slower stuff

MaxNormal TikTikTik. MaxNormal is a weird culty band, and TikTikTik is a strange song about not doing meth

EDIT: https://youtu.be/yW4jn4ng-HQ

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 hours ago

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

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.

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 1 points 8 hours ago

"A Thai Wedding" by Imade Saputra. My kid loves it too. Not as easy to sing along with as you'd think.

The Sound of Animals Fighting. Maybe Billy Talent.

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.

A bunch of Haywood banks songs for sure

I do not have a unique weirdest song. It's hard to decide. I will left this in this comment.

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago

Hitachi hard-drive project - nariko version

Love that song

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of people would consider Jon Bellion or AJR wierd.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

John Bellion- Low was insanely catchy
