Name the weirdest song you've ever heard.
My nominate would be from Jefferson Airplane, entitled "Triad".

Listening to the song makes more sense than reading the lyrics from paper...

7. Ask a fish head anything you want to
He won't answer, he can't talk

6. I'd say the all-timer is The Beatles 'Revolution 9'
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 05:47 PM by Richardo
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number

Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire
Everyone of them knew that as time went by
They'd get a little bit older and a litter slower but
It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always
Umpteen your father's giving it diddly-i-dee
District was leaving, intended to pay for

Number 9, number 9

Who's to know?
Who was to know?

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I sustained nothing worse than
Also for example
Whatever you're doing
A business deal falls through
I informed him on the third night
When fortune gives

Number 9, number 9, number 9

People ride, people ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride! Ride!

9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I've missed all of that
It makes me a few days late
Compared with, like, wow!
And weird stuff like that
Taking our sides sometimes
Floral bark
Rouge doctors have brought this specimen

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha�

9, number 9

With the situation

They are standing still

The plan, the telegram

Ooh ooh

Number 9, number

Ooh

A man without terrors from beard to false
As the headmaster reported to me
My son he really can try as they do to find function
Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high
And his eyes were low

Alright!

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon
Or whatever to price it� yellow underclothes
So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead
Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all
So I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair
I'm not in the mood for whirling

Um da
Aaah

How?
Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping
Birds for birding and fish for fishing
Them for themming and when for whimming

Only to find the night-watchman
Unaware of his presence in the building

Onion soup

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

Industrial output
Financial imbalance

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

The Watusi
The twist

Eldorado

Take this brother, may it serve you well

Maybe it's nothing
Aaah
Maybe it's nothing
What? What? Oh

Maybe even then
Impervious in London
Could be difficult thing
It's quick like rush for peace is
Because it's so much
It was like being naked

"If you become...........naked."

11. "number three" in GREEK by they might be giants
here's the english version, which is bizarre enough:



There’s only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don’t know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music’s shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

A rich man once told me
“Hey life’s a funny thing”
A poor man once told me
That he can’t afford to speak
Now I’m in the middle like a bird without a beak ‘cause

There’s just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don’t know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music’s shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the President
And I asked old what’s-his-name
Has he ever gotten writer’s block
Or something like the same
He just started talking
Like he was on TV
“If there’s just two songs in ya, boy
Whaddaya want from me?”

So I bought myself some denim pants
And a silver guitar
But I politely told the ladies
“You’ll still have to call me Sir
Because I have to keep my self-respect
I’ll never be a star
Since there’s just two songs in me
And this is Number Three”

13. There's some VERY odd stuff on...
...the first T-Rex album before they got into electric and the whole glitter thing.

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music album was about as odd as they come.
