The Weirdest Song You've Ever Heard?

[squidtastic]

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

I did.

 

[bassmeknik]

I did.

Ya, after a good nights sleep and re-reading the thread... my apologies.

I haven't heard the record in probably 15 years or more but I do remember Skinny Puppy's Last Rights to be pretty ****ed up. It's like they wrote parts of songs on their own and then tried to piece them together. It was kinda messy and dissonant. Not in a good way. Obviously a lot of drugs was involved... At the time it was some of the weirdest music i'd heard. Not sure how i'd feel about it now.

"Tunic" by sonic youth is a creepy sad bio about Karen Carpenter.

No need to apologize; I was just being needy .

Carry Stress in the Jaw by Mr. Bungle

So far, no one on this thread has topped that John Ashcroft thing.

Talk about abusing your office to promote a complete lack of songwriting talent!

Mr. Ashcroft, please leave the songwriting to the professionals!

Any bass player with a penchant for the weird really NEEDS to check out the 1994 album by Diamanda Galas and John Paul Jones.

Sporting Life full album link
My impression of Diamanda is -> 5 octave vocal range, perfect pitch and bat sh!t crazy!

Would you have the chops to pull off this gig??

He-man doing his thing

Some of you folks live very sheltered lives.

When punk rock meets art school and drops acid...
Independent Worm Saloon - Butthole Surfers Full album. Produced by John Paul Jones.

Awesome album. Least weird of the Surfers' catalog though.

Very true! I just thought folks would be more likely to check it out with the JPJ link. Honestly some of the BHS "music" sounds like they turned on all their gear, banged on it a bit and wandered off for ten minutes. I think JPJ made them at least make "songs". So, yeah, least weird but most coherent.

I have this album too. She is crazy! Voice is amazing. The bass riff on Do You Take This Man is killer. Her voice is so good.

 

[SirMjac28]

I have the album. It is hilarious!

Sweet goodness are there any guests on the album?

Without a shadow of a doubt, I nominate:

Nurse With Wound - Musical Bovine Spongiform (The Mad Cow Disease)

Honorable mentions: Brian Eno's collaborations with Jon Hassell, pretty much everything Stalaggh/Gulaggh or Merzbow has ever put out.

I dug that diamonda galas album. I fed it through my blue tooth headset while driving euro yuppies to the airport. Made listening to the U.N. though the other ear almost tolerable! Very entertaining album thanks for the link.
