Hasil Adkins


He accidentally invented psychobilly. Was an influence on The Cramps.
Here's a song about cutting off a woman's head and sticking it on his wall so she "can't eat no more hot dogs:"

(It's a good fucken song listen to it now.)



Serge Gainsbourg


He's quite famous in France for his long and successful music career. Most of his albums are fairly traditional and, though good, are still pretty standard examples of rock, jazz, and pop.

Except for his 1968 album "Initials B.B." which featured Brigitte Bardot. It's still genuinely good. The songs are "cool" and "groovy." But they also have an odd layer of lighthearted goofiness all over the top, usually in the form of interjecting random English words and phrases into the music:

The Bran Flakes


Plunderphonics masquerading as children's music, but not in a creepy way (mostly). A lot of their stuff is available free on Soundcloud. A couple of my favorites:

The 365 Days Project


http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/index.shtml

It's an audio blog of outsider music, found audio, industry propaganda music, and other odd stuff. They posted an .mp3 a day for a year, once in 2003 and again in 2007. It's a rabbit hole you can get lost in for days.
(And yeah I know the rule about "music blogs" but it's not a pirate site - there's no commercial stuff on here that the RIAA is going to get pissy over.)

A few of my favorites:

Muhammad Ali - Muhammad Ali's Historical Themesong
Leslie Harris and the House of Fire - Jogging for Jesus
The Frugal Gormets - Satan's Blood

Aw jeez fellas, quit making fun of the OP for not actually posting weird music in his own weird music thread and post some weird music.

Or keep making fun of him, idgaf... just post weird music anyway




Wesly Willis


Wesly was a schizophrenic sometimes-street-person who played the pre-installed demo tunes on old Casio keyboards and sang his own unique lyrics over the top. He had a wide range of topics including what bands he recently saw, what superheros he could beat up, and what kinds of animal dicks you should suck. The dark callus on his forehead is from - very gently - headbutting people repeatedly with light little taps while staring straight into their eyes like a loving psycho.

He made over 20 albums in his life, both as a solo artist on his Casio and with his punk band The Wesly Willis Fiasco. I saw him play a couple years before he died. I bought him a beer after the show and he read me some of his bestiality poetry. He then - very gently - headbutted me repeatedly while staring straight into my eyes like a loving psycho. It was an awesome show.

Rock over London!

Bingo Gazingo


Sometimes billed as a "97 year old rapper" even though he died at 85 and his "rap" is more like spoken word. Hits include "I Love You So loving Much I Can't poo poo" and "Up Your Jurassic Park:"

Probably a good place to share DC's own Mingering Mike.




That is a cool loving story. I started reading the original discovery thread on Soul Strut and this guy on page three called it pretty well:
