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
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.

Oh! Me too! I also love me some string quartet covers of metal songs.
Or the other way around, Leo Moracchioli is also amazing!
Thanks! I'll check it out!
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

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

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.
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!
Ain't nothing quite like a robot on a bike
Check out the following artists:
- Little Big
- Tommy Cash
- Salvatore Ganacci
- Oliver Tree
- Die Antwoord
- Venetian Snares
- Lonely Island
- John Lajoie
Ween's entire discography. Including the unreleased jingle they did for Domino's.
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

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.
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 Sound of Animals Fighting. Maybe Billy Talent.
