What is the weirdest song you have ever heard?

Time for my obligatory Scott Walker-related post of the day.

^ Not really that complicated a song in any sense, but damn...
 
After listening to this uhh... song, the concept strangely interested me and I decided to research these odd "black metal" (if a french guy gargling into a $5 mic and what sounRAB like torturing small animals over a soundtrack from a 1940's horror movie counts as 'black metal') and came across this interview. If it was possible to nuke a musical genre, I think now would be a good time to do it to black metal (although nuking it from its start also wouldn't have been such a bad idea). what the fuck.
 
I like them. But there's one Mr. Bungle song, can't remeraber which, where he starts going to the bathroom at the end. The 12 year old me would have loved that but the 17 year old one just found it gross.
 
I actually like that.

And holy crap, Brenoritvrezorkre takes the cake. I've heard some pretty unsettling dark alternative arabient-ish stuff (black and white horror music plus what sounRAB like a child drowning), but Breno topped the weirdness factor for me. :/

For those curious, the song is "Deceased" by Delerium. It isn't on youtube, otherwise I would have posted a link. :usehead: The song is pretty long, and I actually like the second half, which doesn't contain any of the vocal samples.
 
Ween puts out some really strange material. They are one of my favorite banRAB.

Beck had some strange music on Stereopatheticsoulmanure and Mellow Gold.

Aphex Twin (Richard D James) is way out there. It's so far out that it's had to understand and often hard to imagine that what you hear is actually music.

Foetus had some weird stuff in the 90's.

Michael Patton puts out some very interesting music.

For strange Hip-Hop, I'd look at the Anticon catalog and Definitive Jux. Lots of great stuff in there, but often very strange.

It would be hard to choose which is the "strangest", but if I had to, I would probably pick something by Aphex Twin.
