This was a SNL video back in the 70s. I don't think it was ever released as a single. But definitely strange.
The video actually was the promo, in a sense. The album it's on was released several months prior to the video premiere (and the song was/is played often on Dr. Demento).

Fish Heads (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Even stranger than the original song IMO, is that Duran Duran covered it on tour.


As I don't really think this is going so much on 'weird' as in patently bizarre as it is 'weird' as in quirky comedy, I'll go with "The March of the Sinister Ducks". Can't necessarily say it's the most out there thing I've heard - "Pac Man Fever" is more left field at the very least - but it is certainly amusing. Doubly so since two of the band members were Alan Moore (yes, that Alan Moore) and David J. (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, etc.).

Probably best to grab the MP3 from Neil Gaiman's blog. A basic Google search will bring it up.

YouTube - Therion - Son Of The Staves Of Time lyrics



Tidesson...
Son of the staves of time
Tidesson...
Tell us the secret rhyme
Byrger tidesson
You investigate
Runic alphabet
And you innovate
Every stave of runes, all the secret signs
Ascending tidher
Sign of inventor idher
Byrger tidesson
Foremost magistrate
Armed from ancient time
With arrows of fate
I'm your follower until heaven's gate
Ascending tidher
Sign of inventor idher
Byrger tidesson
From the ancient time
Runic ancestor
The last of your line
Tidesson...
Son of the staves of time
Tidesson...
Tell us the secret rhyme
Magistrate tidesson
Secret king tidesson
Ascending tidher
Inventor idher
Byrger tidesson
You're descending from odin, thor and frej
Tetragrammaton
From tiundaland
Your notarikon
Tidesson...
Son of the staves of time
Tidesson...
Tell us the secret rhyme

Iko Iko performed by the Belle Starrs is the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

Iko Iko lyrics

My grandma and your grandma
Sitting by the fire
My grandma says to your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

Talkin' 'bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko iko an nay
Jockomo feena ah na nay
Jockomo feena nay

Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko iko an nay
I bet you five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jockomo feena nay

CHORUS:
Talkin' 'bout
Hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko an nay (whoah-oh)
Jockomo feena ah na nay
Jockomo feena nay

My flag boy and your flag boy
Sitting by the fire
[ From : IKO IKO Lyrics - BELLE STARS ]
My flag boy says to your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

(CHORUS)

(bridge)

(hey now)
(hey now)
(hey now)
(hey now)
Jockomo feena nay
Iko!

See that guy all dressed in green
Iko iko an nay
He's not a man, he's a loving machine
Jockomo feena nay

(4x)
Talkin' 'bout
Hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko an nay (whoah-oh)
Jockomo feena ah na nay
Jockomo feena nay

(repeat till fading end)
Jockomo feena nay
