If you've ever had an inexplicable love for a song that's just strange, post a link to it here. Should be amusing and entertaining for a Saturday night.

Back in the 80’s we would prank call other teens (I wouldn’t say friends :) with this one. It’s a weird, creepy song!

Excellent. Expropriate their anthems, turn Jacques Derrida around and smack them over the head with it.

Great one. Genesis really went downhill into sappy pop rock after Peter Gabriel left and the weird went away. Here’s a somewhat similar but later one from a group that had a tremendous influence upon the 90’s sound, but very few have heard of them. The song I understand was inspired by The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, and it’s very, very creepy:

Slint - Good Morning Captain

“Good night, sleep tight.”

I’m tired and I want to go to bed.

Emerson Lake and Palmer (Show me the way to go home)

Emerson Lake and Palmer, “Benny the Bouncer”

Not a song, but Alex Lifeson (RUSH) has a goofy improv in the middle of a song. Rants about Paris Hilton. “Oh thank you God for not making me Paris Hilton.”

I actually thought Zappa was classically trained for the longest time, but it turns out he was entirely self-taught. Another sign of what a genius he was. I was lucky enough to have seen him a few times, most notably on the tour following the release of Apostrophe. Awesome show.

“They’re Coming To Take Me Away” is posted near the beginning of the thread. Here’s “Gimme Dat Thing” by The Pipkins with some interesting period swing dancing video:

Great choice. I used to play that, loud, on endless loop out the window while I was handing out candy on Halloween.

And to comment on your earlier comment, I love me some Claypool bass playing!

Oh man, I’d forgotten about 10cc. Remind me of Little Feat in a way. Wackiness abounds but great music.

10cc - Good Morning Judge

I didn’t appreciate Zappa fully when he was touring and so never saw him live.

The thread was looking for weird ;-)

10cc production quality was outstanding. Even had some pop hits, "I'm Not in Love"

Watching some of these vids this AM, I am forced to comment that of the ones with skippable after 5s ads on the front end, I am getting Handel or Ossoff ads for the GA 6th Congressional District special election runoff in every one. The election is Tuesday. If Ossoff wins, you’ll hear about it incessantly from the MSM. If he loses, you’ll hear about it from them for about, well, 5s.
