Weird songs with links!

ChastMastr

I just posted this gem by Klaus Nomi ("Total Eclipse") on the earworm thread, and realized I wanted a thread on weird/silly/strange songs we like or hate or just find peculiar. I like weird stuff and can always use more. So here's a thread for it! (Kind of like ChastMastr's Lonk-O-Rama* from years and years ago, only musical...) Please include YouTube or other links, of course, so we may all enjoy them...

Very short, very funny, and very, very sweary. You have been warned!

Three in a row is plenty, I shall off sod and let others play for a bit.

Don’t forget Diggy Diggy Hole, I also have a soft spot for “Try Not to Be A C it’s Christmas” by Fascinating Aida

Only the eyes? Here is a true classic... 1978's "Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes (one of whom is Billy Mumy, Will Robinson from Lost in Space (and Babylon 5 and such later)):

(The song itself really starts about 2 minutes in...)

A Capella Science is awesome--here's one of his first big hits. He (Tim Blais) writes these and does every single sound in the whole thing by himself, layers upon layers. This one's called "Bohemian Gravity." It's about string theory!

He also does stuff with other people, like this parody of a song from Wicked (coming soon to a theatre near you!), called "Defining Gravity."

Here's one without "Gravity" in the title, on genetic engineering, to the tune of "Mr. Sandman," called "CRISPR-Cas9."

Shirley Șerban, from New Zealand, is also fun. Here's her latest, an early Christmas song to the tune of Queen's "I Want to Break Free"--"I Got My Fake Tree."

This one will either have you in tears or make you cry - if you see what I mean. 😄 Personally I find it beautifully haunting.

From the sublime back to the ridiculous, this has potential to make the small child in me repeat "I don't want to go, I don't want to go":

I think everything by Little Big, a Russian pop band (anti-Putin, who fled to the US a few years back), counts as odd.
