Answer 2

I watched an Arena Program on the BBC years ago about a guy named Slim Gaillard ,3 programs in a row in fact.
He was then 93,what a life! and what a storyteller!.Strangest Song?,perhaps ........but strangest repertoire certainly.
Although an accomplished Jazz musician, who regularly
played with a.o.Dizzy Gillespy and Tito Puente and immortalized in Jack Kerouack's -on the road as the man giving an energetic soundless Bongo solo for minutes by almost but not quite touching the actual instrument, bathing in sweat from the exhaustion, Slim in his solo efforts came up with songs one cannot imagine,some in his own made up language " O Vauti O Roony ".
Here are some Gems!.
- Serenade To A Poodle
- When Banana Skins Are Falling
( I'll come sliding back to you )
- Flat Foot Floozy (with a Floy Floy )
- Vo Bist Du.,Gaily Star

Jazz at the Phiharmonic (Live for the Troops - Radio)

Answer 7

threebrains.com has the strangest songs from some snail that flys jet propelled while leaking blood out of its behind to the Weeee song which is just beyond silly (and if you aren't laughing when you hear the song, there is something wrong with you).

Answer 8

The Laughing Gnome by David Bowie

Answer 9

"Some Velvet Morning" the duet between Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra is a very odd song -

It's almost like they're taking turns singing different songs - it feels quite menacing, surreal, and deeply eccentric - but it works. It's a great song.

"I'm Being Followed By The Rolling Stones" by Murray Lachlan Young
