I've got lots of weird stuff. Bjork singing children's songs in Icelandic. Traditional Arabic songs sung by women. However, I think one of the oddest is the London Festival Orchestra performing Second Avenue Serenade. It's sort of like Romanian-Jewish music meets George Gershwin and Rogers and Hammerstein. There's got to be a movie in it. Something in technocolor. Steve

It's a tie between Thus Spoke Zarathustra – Theme from 2001:A Space Odyssey Performed on Kazoos by The Temple City Kazoo Orchestra, and A whole lotta love, also on Kazoos performed by The Temple City Kazoo Orchestra. YouTube link YouTube link

"Got a link to that?" Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. It's too weird. |

My son wanted us to ship him his ipod while he was in boot camp, containing mostly modern rock stuff. So I slipped in some bag pipe music, and for my wife, some country. He told us it was a very puzzled response from the barracks (he had it on speakers). |

King Kong, another band that words can't describe. |

Dirty Deeds Done with sheep… Finntroll… Native American Pow wow music… An album called "Songs of the WWII Jewish Resistance"… Actually I have a LOT of odd music |
| Pictors Studio | 25 Sep 2009 4:23 a.m. PST |
I try to keep odd stuff off of my itunes as I probably don't want to listen to it regularly and usually use shuffle mode when listening. |

A couple of MC Hawking tracks and some Lovecraft filk (Walk Like A Deep One). As for "serious" wierd, I've got 3 BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge albums with some unusual cover versions (Arctic Monkeys covering Girls Aloud, Girls Aloud doing Wheatus' Teenage Dirtbag, Travis doping Baby, One More Time, etc) and Tinariwen, north African Tuareg blues. |

In my play list is some Turkish Mehtar (sic) music my son collected, some Philippine pop music that came on a refurbished iPod, a cappella version of Iron Maiden's "Fear of the Dark", "Dschinghis Khan" by the group of the same name and "Tequila Mockingbird", "Mujera Bocona" and "¿Adonde Esta El Baño?" by Max Gringo.

Is this one of those threads where people desperately try to 'out-weird' each other to appear 'interesting' and 'not a toy soldier nerd' if so, 'north African Tuareg blues.' We have a winner!!! (I'm mad, me) |

The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) done live by No Doubt, "Kittens = Poptarts" recorded by the boys from Goats, and "First Baptist Bar & Grill" by Tim Wilson. Tom Lehrer "weird"? Nah. Just really dated. |

Messe pour le temps présent: II. Psyche Rock Flaky, 1967 pyschedelic rock song which served as an inspiration for the theme song to "Futurama". YouTube link Or, Roy Brown's "Butcher Pete" recently popularized in the video game "Fallout 3". And you thought today's songs were risque? YouTube link Lastly, 'Short Skirt/Long Jacket', by Cake.

I have nothing weird at all – it's all quality sounds man….my iPod does act as a weird detector though, in that if someone doesn't like what's on it then THEY are weird. |

All the music from the original DOOM game. |
