The Weirdest Song You've Ever Heard?

#45
I Need Your Head by Hasil Adkins is right up there for derangement.

Got To Investigate Silicones from a General Electric "corporate musical". Notably features a "stoolie" character called Funky Irwin being aggressively interrogated by a cop about supposed connections to a mobster named Solly Cohen. Ineffably, um, silly.

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned Pink Floyd - "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave" from the album "Ummagumma"


Zappa had a bizarre sense of humor that showed in much of his work, as a musician and writer he was amazing IMO not just bizarre, but having a creative quality to much of his "stranger" stuff. I think that creativity is lacking in the more nonsensical "Several species of small furry animals..." (still a big Pink Floyd fan here, just that "Ssosfa..." isn't their best work IMO) So while I agree that Frank was weird at times there was always a method to his madness.
