Song Help - Know any weird songs?

Wed Jul 20, 2005 6:19 pm

Yes, I need help on finding weird songs. Now, what I mean by weird is like "What You Waiting For?" and "Don't Go (Boys and Girls)" weird. Like, the lyrics are all over the place. I can't think of any other up-beat (Yes, no sad weird songs) song that is as weird as the above two are. So, I was wondering if anyone can help me find any?

Also, NO Weird Al songs. I just, don't want his songs at all.

Much thanks.

Despite saying no sad songs, I HAVE to suggest Dragostea Din Tei. :P Numa numa... *dances*

Otherwise, I just do not know.

Ride on a Shooting Star - The Pillows
Rain - BoA (The song itself is pretty upbeat, but the lyrics might strike some as depressing....)
Kodoku no Signal - Chabo
Groovy! - Hirose Kami (Kinda girly, but it's weird.)
Ready Steady Go - L'arc-en-Ciel

That's all I can think of for now

Dude, watch the typing

Devil's Work Day + Float On- Modest Mouse
Doesn't Remind Me- Audioslave

*sings* I like driving backwards- in the fog, 'cause it doesn't remind me of anything*

Feetlips by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire
Day One by Sarah Slean (Don't know how weird it really is, but the beginning's good and the song's pretty catchy.)

Cake - Sheep Go To Heaven

It's a song about nothing! :lol:

I highly recommend "Loser" and "Mixed Bizness" by Beck, I guess they fit your description as "weird" for I don't know where he gets these lyrics from. Hmmm "Suck My Kiss" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers could be another one.

I'm not sure if they fit your definition of weird, but check them anyway.

Play - Extreme (its sort of a fast paced glam rock song that cycles through childrens playground games...)

Dare - Gorillaz

Malo san Maka - Beat Fleet (Its in another language, I never bothered to check what one, however the lyrics are about being crazy)

Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot - Caramba (Lyrics all over the place? Who need real words?)

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Look into Beck songs from the album Mellow Gold and Violent Femmes songs from the album Add It Up. You'll find some really weird lyrics.

Also, The Sweater Song by Weezer and Popular by Nada Surf.

Heh, not sure if these are too weird, but...

I love "Fish Heads" by Dr Demento (I thought it was by They Might Be Giants until I looked it up just then... how strange):

"Fish heads, fish heads,
Roly poly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!"

Off the top of my head, there's also "Cows with Guns" by Dana Lyons (?) and "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants...

Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Barenaked Ladies - Little Tiny Song
Weezer - Dope Nose
They Might Be Giants - Particle Man
They Might Be Giants - I Palindrome I

That's all that come to me at the moment...

IWIWAL by Loudon Wainright might be good as well.

Opblaaskrokodil by Ome Henk is very good.

also, search for 'i'm a cucumber'

I'm pretty sure Dr. Demento didn't do it. He just brought it to the world with his show. Which I miss.

Check out Glass Onion by the Beatles, or Strawberry Fields for that matter. If you're just looking for something a little off but still coherent that might just do 'er.

Xiu Xiu - I love the Valley

It's just so different that it's great.
