Favorite WEIRD song

[hello2u08]

What is your favorite song that is by a relatively unknown artist, and is about a weird topic?

Mine is:
The Wizard of Cupcake Mountain
video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POHrpq7S-0Y&feature=related
so, what is yours, and use mine as an example of what I mean

[MajinKitty230]

Mine is:
Yugioh Abridged (CardGamesFtw) - Leather Pants

[VerDeTerre]

I can't decide!

Laurie ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0N4nyYS5aA) - a dead teenager song

~ and ~ DOA ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O79EN3z6IpU ) - also on the topic of death

The Titanic Song because it's a gruesome subject and such a happy tune ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_1JBAv0zTQ&feature=related) We used to sing it faster and with a happy little echo at camp.

~ and~ Well, he's well-known, but it's one of the silliest of songs ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mcMApFCQkk) - he loves his laundry

~ and~ The best of all - Banana Phone! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C6X9vOEkU)

[BlakeS5678]

This is my favorite weird song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnET4RKXx5k

BTW, I meant the song itself, not the music video

Kid songs are often wonderfully weird. Isn't the song you mentioned about the cupcakes a kid song?

[LadyKombucha]

a great band for weird is The Aquabats

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77O6iqThpRQ- the baker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIqLz6LqMsU - super rad (proper video)

Ok, I checked out tiny pants. I loved the first comment on Youtube "Its like Johnny Cash and a bunch of mice". Actually, it sounds a tad like Elvis. :rofl:

[JNAS2006]

Superbus- Radio Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZmksWyacJA) LOVE this song

Cuppy Cake Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=12Z6pWhM6TA) A friend of mine used to call me and sing this to me when she knew I was upset, never failed to make me smile XD

[Oaktree]

Heartache Over Innsmouth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHnt8kWLwxU

[anothereyjana]

For some of mine:
Gay Boyfriend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK9VBxDlQOE&feature=related)
Plastic Surgery Slumber Party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD8Y4yk73kU)
Malconstruction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amUeKT3JyQE)-this one is more of a fan-based one- it's a song made from audio clips of Red vs. Blue's sixth season, Reconstruction.
A Girl Named Tex (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIg1vZPKFyU) also from Red vs Blue, but is actually used in the show, not fan-made.
and the last one is the incredibly sweet Gay Pirates (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dysG12QCdTA)

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the mods moved this to the media section, since it's about songs. Not snitching or anything, I'm just saying, people might want to start checking there in the future. Heads up and all.

No, it sounds like a kids song, but it just is Parry Gripp (parrygripp.com). all of his songs are like that

Here's another Parry Gripp that is a bit more twisted
Robot Dog is Coming Home

http://tinyurl.com/RobotDogIsComingHome It's surreal. It's like he's writing fantasy fiction in song.

[hello2u08]

It's surreal. It's like he's writing fantasy fiction in song.
true, but only some of his songs are like that, but robot dog is coming home is one of the best examples of this

EDIT: here is a example of a more nonsensical song by him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDU0CTDMk2g It is called do you like waffles

[LadyKombucha]

you should also check out his Doctor Who song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpnGD0QscxQ
i think its the closest to a proper song he's done, and its awesome. i'm a massive Wholigan :D

Ok, if we're bringing up tv shows and silly songs, how can you beat "They Got the Mustard Out?" and "Parking Ticket" from Buffy The Musical? (I could almost list the entire episode, but some of the songs are sad.)

http://youtu.be/4F-CpE73o2M

[Captain THPS4]

Definitely Cups and Cakes (http://youtu.be/cyWo6Y-i-U0). It's just so random. I love adding that song onto the end of my setlists in Rock Band. :lol:

Remember "Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes.
That was pretty weird. And it is unforgettable :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTpUVAcvWfU

the music part doesn't start till a little after two minutes into the video.

[DrowningFishy]

I don't have a favorite weird song, because I know many weird songs but here's a few that otp my list.

When I am angry I love this song:
Open 24/7 http://youtu.be/wIvu2_-nmfM

When I need a laugh

What I am thinking when my Sims are in college

Yeah and I have others I like to play on certian occasions but I am certian there are some lines that need not be crossed. :rofl:

[hello2u08]

edit: can't post weird songs without this one!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ WARNING! Don't go to if you have no sense of humor

[Robodl95]

I don't think Germany is known for catchy pop music but I can't stop humming this song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU_L4ubJGKI
This is a really disturbing song about the black plague... to Hollaback Girl, I studying using their music all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZy6XilXDZQ&feature=channel_video_title
This is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in any language (from the German Lion King musical) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EnPT3PoUlk
Nice Danish dance song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ4B35ZMYi8
The older ones here will know this song 99 Red Balloons (aka 99 Luftballons auf deutsch), good song even though I don't like very much from the 80s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9whehyybLqU

[5M0K3]

Plastic Surgery Slumber Party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD8Y4yk73kU) My GOD how I hate Jeffree Star.

I love that version of the song, gorgeous!

Best Christmas song ever! "Christmas is Interesting" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ZsUAy3RFg) by Joanathan Coulton.

When I'm feeling down, I listen to Mel Torme and George Shearing's "New York, New York medley". Musical comedy gold, always a great pick-me-up. Can't find it on youtube, but if you know jazz and blues you should find it hilarious.

[hello2u08]

wow, this thread really exploded, and I just wanted a way to find funny songs!

another one!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48b4QdHq9BU

[KKiryu007Joker]

Let's see... one from a probably unknown guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtQmwJ1WAY

Here's one for the psychotic baseball loving villain in that unknown Yakuza video game series I always liked related to Takashi Miike and Shenmue. I saw this after watching the movie where he was trying to incessantly stalk and kill that same guy sitting down, and it was like.... huh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB9ea_xWexM

Here's another one from the first guy.

What did they think about that guy?

[VerDeTerre]

Let's see... one from a probably unknown guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtQmwJ1WAY

Here's another one from the first guy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6W5gXdHxhw Not so unknown to those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s. He was a bizarre phenomenon. I think his silliest was Tip Toe Through the Tulips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_PLWqnfFgU)


There must have been so much out there in that time period to make fun of. Here's Brigitte Bardot with Serge Gainsbourg singing Comic Strip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URr37OUyC6I).

[Misanthrope]

Tom Sings "Let it Burn" in the Boondocks. I don't really care for Usher, but this song makes me crack up everytime:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV8j6J_Ru68


Best. Movie. Intro. Ever.

[VerDeTerre]

I wished I had known that was going to turn into heavy metal - ouch! :blink:

Since it's that time of the year, this one with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert should become the next classic: Can I Interest You in Hannuka? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBWgWzNH-qI)

[bassoon_crazy]

My favorite?

Probably Sticks & Stones by The Divine Comedy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqNtOCxJn24). I don't have any clue how obscure the band is, but this certainly fits as 'weird'. So does this other song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp6aGj2jxGk) by them, although it's not what I would call a favorite.

There's also this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUb0Pdv3Lw) by an band named Egg from way before I was born lol). Not my favorite, but certainly strange.

Feva for the flava by hot action cop
It's just weird rather than unknown

[TortureTheNannies]

Napoleon XIV is great comedy. They're Coming to Take Me Away is the start.
Now, I have a problem finding out what you mean by "weird songs" since even when I like a weird song, it's still close to popular.
Do you want to find some weird music? I can name two places that will fill your ears for hours.

If you ever played Jet Set Radio Future, then you would know the most random songs are in there. And my favorite "weird song" is:

Birthday Cake---Cib Matto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITy0I22hvw8&feature=fvst) <---She is actually singing about baking a cake for her son's birthday, mhm ^.^

[TortureTheNannies]

Heh, hard to choose just one, but when thinking of weird songs, this one always springs to mind first for me:

Da Yoopers: Diarrhea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95gHjoIYvKs (probably not work/school safe!)

Also:

Star Trekkin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlTMXiqbDZU

[kampffenhoff]

My Grandfather was Scottish and used to sing to me when I was little. Of course, I didn't know English then {Or Scots} but he taught me a lot of the songs which were, to me gibberish. Years later I discovered one was called "Three Craws" and was about three crows and during the song one of the crows breaks its jaw. Another was called "Oh ye cannae shove yer grannie aff the bus". I particularly liked this and still do. It's sung to the tune of "She'll be coming round the mountain".

[pico22]

Die Toten Hosen - 10 Kleine Jägermeister (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqp8WhieV0o)

[VampireSim]

It's the soundtrack of Bloody Mallory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mallory).I like this trashy movie, but the music reminds me sometimes of a mix between a car accident, karaoke and cats in heat.

[gabrielorie]

This song, Settle Down by Kimbra is stuck in my head, unfortunately it's a bit creepy O.o
The lyrics, and even the video are hella creepy :S Those dolls in the background just complete the weirdness...

[Gabrymato]

My favorite has to be Black Umbrella (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5IUihNuno).

[HamsterLover8]

This is possibly one of the most annoying songs currently on the Internet....the Gummy Bear Song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astISOttCQ0 It's pretty catchy though....I actually rather like it....
