"Weird" to be interpreted at the reader's discretion.

Looking for some cool new tunes.

I'll get the ball rolling with one of mine: Scaretale by Nightwish. That song is all over the place... it's like haunted fantasy carnival jingle metal. Love it.

Most Tom Cardy stuff but id recommend close up magician for a decent but weird song

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"H.y.c.b.h" is one of my favorite songs

"Why am I anxious?" Is a personal attack

I HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR RING

BUT HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR RING

The one most people would probably find the weirdest is Pepper Coyote - no cock like horse cock

Thank you for reminding me about Lemon Demon.

That's probably the least weird Neil Cicierega track on my playlists.

  • Game sound tracks (Frank Klepacki).

  • Violin covers of movie themes and game soundtracks (Taylor Davis).

  • Weird Austrian pop band from the 80s (E.A.V.)

  • Jpop.

Take your pick.

Oh! Me too! I also love me some string quartet covers of metal songs.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Or the other way around, Leo Moracchioli is also amazing!

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Here are several different types of weird. They’re not all on the same playlist.

Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel

Jan Böhmermann - Faschismus is Back

Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

Too Many Zooz - Noda

Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3

Hiromi Uehara - Canon in D

2CELLOS - Thunderstruck

Captain Tractor - The Last Saskatchewan Pirate

The Arrogant Worms - Carrot Juice is Murder

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

MaxNormal TikTikTik. MaxNormal is a weird culty band, and TikTikTik is a strange song about not doing meth

EDIT: https://youtu.be/yW4jn4ng-HQ

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

Random smattering of Eurovision picks, Who The Hell is Edgar by Teya and Salena (Austria) is a hilarious banger and commentary on Spotify profits to artists. Also, No Rules by Windows95man was pure brilliance.

Power metal classics and a few covers of 80s hits.

TV theme songs, but the full full 3-4 minute song.

Weird Al's Hamilton Polka is top tier.

Plus some Disco era A and B sides, West African old school "palm wine music," songs from a few musicals including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode.

You know, just, like, normal stuff.

Both by the legendary Frank Zappa:

Stink-Foot

Muffin Man

Dog Fashion Disco. I call it Circus-core. It's too dark and offensive to be taken seriously by most people, but it's got some good music behind it. And I once got to see them in a bar with a $10 cover. Fantastic show!

Ween's entire discography. Including the unreleased jingle they did for Domino's.

Melancholic Crossroads I like loads of her stuff. Current favourite is WW3 but she does slower stuff

[–] WhiteRabbit_33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I love the story behind that album.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ahh, my christmas playlist

Rudolph the Coked Out Reindeer - Kamikazi

Pretty much any Christmas song from them tbh. Best version of Jingle Bells, Batman Smells.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A lot of people would consider Jon Bellion or AJR wierd.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

John Bellion- Low was insanely catchy

Mr. Bungle, or most of Mike Patton's discography, is hella weird.

My favorite has to be "My Ass is on Fire". Trust me when I say it's like a mad science experiment, made into a song.
