Top 20 Odd or Strange Songs
Today’s blog is a Top 20, since my last top list worked so well , however this one will perhaps entertain you a bit more. Desperately I searched to compile this top 20 list of songs because lots of songs are perhaps strange but to find these particular choices I recruted my collegue at work to help me. I did not want my picks to be ordinary but extra-odinary and I hope that you will agree when you check out my top 20 songs that I have chosen in this category. Before I unveil the list I would like to add that my choices were based mostly on the fact that the lyrics to these songs make no sence whatsoever other than 1 or 2 but those are just plain strange so they got tossed in. Without anymore delays her is my Top 20 odd songs in no particular order , that would be way to hard .
1- Rock Lobster / The B-52’s
2- Crabbukit / K-OS
3- Whip It / Devo
4- Psycho Killer / Talking Heads
5- I am the Walrus / The Beattles
6- Song 2 / Blur
7- Shock The Monkey / Peter Gabriel
8- Super Bon Bon / Soul Coughing
9- The Do Do Ddo , The Da Da Da / The Police
10- Your Woman / White Town
11- High Fivin’ Motherfucker / Local H
12- Paranoid Android / Radiohead
13- Loser / Beck
14- Mony, Mony / Billy Idol
15- Frontier Psychiatrist / The Avalanches
16- Da Da Da / Trio
17- Octopu’s Garden / Ringo Starr
18- Relax / Frankie Goes to Hollywood
19- Cornflake Girl / Tori Amos
20- Hyperballad / Bjork
I hope you have enjoyed the list , it was quite fun to make even though it required alot of searching to find 20. I urge you all to go out and listen to the ones you might not know and revist the ones that you do and sing along to the lyrical mahem that they provide. I must say that most of all these songs listed are very good even if they make no sence or have no real story to them , they are unique and that is why they were popular and we remember them so fondly. Lastly I would like to point out the obvious , A song dosen’t have to make sence to be good as this top 20 shows as long as it has something special to remember it by . here is a clip of Peter from Family Guy singing Rock Lobster and shows us how ridiculous it really is but that is why we love it , Enjoy as always .
