Never get ahead by Bobby Conn. In this video he's performing at a youth show, so he isn't allowed to sing 'you'll never get ahead by giving head to the man' instead singing 'saying yes to the man'. But he slips up once, saying sorry after.
Basically Merzbow's entire discograpgy. Here's the album Pulse Demon, and no, its neither a bad upload nor did your speakers (which you should turn down beforehand) take a shit on you.
Shake it Off by Taylor Swift
Anxiety Attack by Jeffrey Lewis, amazingly weird and underrated artist
Bitch I'm a cow
Here's a good one. On the surface, it's not that strange... Until you think you're having a stroke because none of the words make sense. It's all gibberish

Jesus Was Way Cool by King Missile.
Shit, I'm not even sure you can classify it as a song, really. There's music and words, but the words are just spoken and it's just a guy giving mad props to Jesus Christ. But it's like a surfer, grunge kinda dude so it sounds sarcastic AF.
But also Ween. So much Ween. They have maybe 2 or 3 albums of somewhat regular music, and then 5 times more just the most bizarre, drug induced aural hallucinations imaginable. I love 'em.
Oh and I can't forget Daniel Johnston; a song writer with schizophrenia that afaik only released his work as bespoke, custom cassettes for people so there are like thousands of different versions of the same songs because he just played them from memory. The songs themselves are pretty gnarly, too.
It would have to be any of the four tracks on Metal Machine Music. I made myself listen to the entire thing once. Once.

Is the Whistle Stop song from Robin Hood sped up:
As certainly not a furry, I recognized that immediately when I booted up dial-up for the first time hahaha

Sounds like a John Cage piece, but I have no clue.

Anything by Clown Core or Macabre is always sure to delight.
Check out Moon Hooch, like too many zoos but i think they just do it better. Some are pretty catchy like 'Number 9' and 'EWI'
Whatever the hell this song is supposed to be. The more you watch, the weirder it gets.
Well, they asked and you answered.
Wrap it up boys. We found the winner! WTF?
Cut the Mullet. A classic. And good advice in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roxMH07qHmc
For some general Milwaukee style weird, there will always be Wooden Robot. I really liked Wooden Robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOmtl8Lmeps
RIP Wesley Willis.
An opera singer and avant-garde music composer who made a song out of comic book sound effects.
Less strange, she also did an operatic cover of The Beatles' Ticket to Ride. I'm pretty sure my ironic love of this has crossed over into completely unironic genuine love.
It is not super strange to me, but everyone I share it with looks at me like I'm a nutter.
Polysics is fucking weeeeird and I love them.
TEI! TEI! TEI!
It's gotta be something from Songs in the Key of Z

One really shocked me: Ascension by John Coltrane. At first I thought this was some kind of a joke but the power really held me down. It's one of the songs that I can feel pure energy and freedom.
"Little Specked Egg" by Cordelia's Dad
Steve Reich has a lot of interesting stuff. I have heard Clapping Music performed several times. https://youtube.com/watch?v=liYkRarIDfo
