“Girl Anachronism” by The Dresden Dolls
“This is perhaps one of the most bizarre songs I’ve ever heard in my life…but an awesome kind of bizarre.” – Sammy -
“Creep” by Radiohead
“I went for the over-kill literal choice here. However, there is something a little eerie and beautifully melancholy about this song.”- Amanda -
“Sticks and Stones” by The Pierces
“The Pierces are known for being a bit on the weird side and “Sticks and Stones” doesn’t prove wrong. It’s got vampire-esque lyrics, a witch-like chant and a ridiculously creeptastic music video. It’s the perfect song to get pumped for Halloween!” – Bri -
“Be Calm” by fun
“From the violins to the changing tempo, this song just feels like you’re part of some weird circus act, but it works so perfectly and it is a fantastic song.” – Becky -
“Black Man” by The Rubberbandits
“This Ireland group wears plastic bags on their faces, but if that’s not odd enough for you, they decided to make a song about needing a black man in their gang. Before you go getting all offended, give it a listen. This song is funny, creepy, odd, weird, and every other adjective you can think of.” – Nicole -
“Mad World” by Gary Jules
“Gary Jules’ cover of “Mad World” (originally by Tears for Fears) is a classic. His vocals give me goosebumps.” – Danielle - “Some Nights – Intro” by fun
“This song is weird and creepy, but entertaining. I’m not sure if anyone has actually heard it, but it makes me want to listen to it again. I still have no idea what it’s actually about.” – Megan
- “Pagan Poetry” by Bjork
“How does Bjork even exist? So weird and talented and awesome.” – Michael
