Ha, you just brought me back to the Dr. Dimento days! Another of my Dr. D faves was Existential Blues
. And, of course, the perennial favorite by Weird Al, My Bologna.

Oh and let me paste one of my weird faves.. although, The Resident's are not THAT weird... right? Right?

The Residents - Moisture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTJJb1UqjuA

Crap, I was going to post the Residents! Their cover of Prince's 1999 is nuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8XBLzJDC4

"Concentration Moon" (Zappa) really bizarre, sounds like something an axe murderer might unwind to after a long day.

Frank Zappa playing a bicycle in 1963 on the Steve Allen Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izDvYokFU7U

The weirdest thing by far in that clip is seeing Zappa in a suit.

Martian Boogie by Brownsville Station

Hm, I think I just realized why Seikilos Epitaph sounds so weird every time - because its the different version every time!

Mr. Bungle's whole catalog is pretty weird. Some of it is good. Some not so much. Dead Goon is my favorite. Check out the groove at 1:54. Invalid Link Removed

OK, so we've covered Zappa, Beefheart, Residents, and all the other usual suspects. And now I'd like to draw your attention to a truly bizarre old recording from the great Fats Waller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caUvQ8t_Kw8

The grateful dead played some pretty weird jams over their years. But zappa has my vote. Here are a couple amazing yet very weird tunes.

A great song mind you, but it's intentionally played so badly I wonder how he could sing over it.

I don't even have words...

Here is a quiet and public-friendly, section out of a long composition by Evan Gallagher that I had the honor of playing in last Sunday, April 6. For drums/2 elec. basses/elec. guitar/tuba/euphonium/2 trumpets/bass clarinet/2 clarinets/saxophone/2 flutes/keyboard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPzII-bBF2M . Enjoy!

John Cages 4'33" doesn't count!

I've heard one of Cage's pieces at a festival, which was voice and percussive things and found objects. It was certainly strange.

Primus.

Oh you want a specific song? Erm...'Amanitas' but that is just off the top of my head
