Most Unusual Song Lyrics

[gjbassist]

When I hear certain songs I just have to wonder what the person who wrote them was thinking? What possesses someone to write an entire song about a simple object or an idea so far out there? Here are a few songs that come to mind that make me wonder "what the...?". Not saying they are either good or bad, just way out in left field!

Not so much the lyrics as the whole package. I remember seeing this video in the early days of MTV and thinking what an odd video it was.

Busha Busha-Arthur Brown

This has to be the ultimate weird song IMO. I saw this video only once on MTV back in the early 80's and the bizarreness of it has been stuck with me ever since.

What do you feel are some very odd or unusual songs?

Zappa - Mr.Green Genes



Eat your greens
Don't forget your beans & celery
Don't forget to bring
Your fake I.D.
Eat a bunch of these
MAGNIFICENT
With sauerkraut
MMMMMMMMMMM
Sauerkraut
Eat a grape, a fig
A crumpet too . . .
You'll pump 'em right through
Doo-wee-ooo

Eat your shoes
Don't forget the strings
And sox
Even eat the box
Your bought 'em in
You can eat the truck
That brought 'em in
Garbage truck
MMMMMMMMMMMMouldy
Garbage truck
Eat the truck & driver
And his gloves
NUTRITIOUSNESS
DELICIOUSNESS
WORTHLESSNESS
