Oddball music .....

[Lizooki]

..... we all have that one song or two.
That one band.
That one video.
It just don't fit with the rest of what we normally play, listen to, or in all honestly just like!

But that one ..... we DIG IT!
One of mine it Cantaloop (Flip Phantasia).



Whats one of yours?

That first US3 album got me deeper into the Blue Note catalog, for sure.

This one pops to mind: Don't care one way or the other for KoL, but love this one-chord banger:

 

[MonetBass]

Frank Zappa has quite a few, but here's my favorite:


And of course this classic 80s tune:

 

[Winslow]

The new strain of coronavirus still isn't as infectious as this groove:

 

[FilterFunk]

"Holiday Road" - Lindsay Buckingham:

 

[40Hz]

Alina Gingertail - Mandalorian Main Theme



Critical Hit - Angry Birds Theme



pretty much anything by Carolina Eyck

play this in a darkened room on Halloween:

Eva's Angel killed the thread, how appropriate

Great tune. Some friends of mine covered it years ago and I was so jealous.

 

[JRA]

One of mine it Cantaloop (Flip Phantasia).

i like that version (i guess one's "oddball" is another's "hip!"). my instrumental jazz project uses that as the template for our own rendition.

Sometimes, noise can be music too. Two of my favorite "odd balls".

 

[Jeremy Crockett]

The whole album is amazingly cool while generally not at all to my taste but this song, in particular, is GREAT.

 

[The Petro]

play this in a darkened room on Halloween:

I was expecting a weird Slayer cover.

I uh... um... whatever floats your boat.

Jeez, that weirded you out? It’s quite traditional...never heard any early Zappa or Beefheart? Residents(or anything on Ralph Records)? Butthole Surfers, Gary Wilson, Chrome, Can, Silver Apples, Pere Ubu, and over 100 albums of Jandek? Google “re/search incredibly strange music” and delve into that alternative universe. You’re probably too young to know about Dr. Demento, and his years of curating decades of strangeness, eccentricity, and novelty on his radio show(and compilation albums). Do yourself a favor and explore Roland Kirk, Ornette Colman, and Coltrane and free your mind.

"Baked Beans", a song from the '70s by New Zealand band 'Mother Goose'.

My late FIL's collection is almost entirely '20s-'40s jazz, leavened with things like the Goon Show.
We still have no idea why the CD single of Sweat (A La La La La Long) by Inner Circle was in there, other than he was a romantic little marshmallow under that grumpy-old-man exterior.
