Weird Songs That Climbed The Charts
 

What are some weird songs that did well on radio?

Mr. Roboto comes to my mind right away.
Also Yellow Submarine and Rapture

- Jake

Laurie Anderson's "O Superman". Don't know if it's still played on the radio these days, but at least it was a sizeable hit in the UK.

Big Love LOL

Justify My Love, Madonna-duh

"Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen", by Mary Schmich~

It's not weird so much as ANNOYING, but "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin.

Tusk :)
I think it reached number 2 in the UK

Corey Heart - Sunglasses At Night
Afroman - Because I Got High

I forgot about the 90s song New Age Girl (Mary Moon) by Dead Eye Dick.

That gawdawful Linda Perry song from '94. Oy.

Noo! That's a great song. :o Maybe you're thinking of its tongue-in-cheek counterpart, the Bong Song? (Weird Al perhaps? Not sure)

"Informer" by Snow
And of course, the "Macarena"

Informer!! My mates and I always used to sing this (or try to sing this) back in grade 4. I heard it again more recently and didn't understand what we had liked so much about it. :shrug: :]

Bizarre 'song' that one. Saw the video clip on TV one day.

Here's my entry - an Australian song from this year called 'Ooh Aah'. It is truly the worst song ever, and there was even a big petition to get it taken off the air. It kept getting played on some stations simply becuase the artist, Tamara Jaber, is the girlfriend of one of the radio people, or something like that. :shrug: Either way, download it and have a listen - and a laugh!

Some of the 'lyrics':

Boys are rotten made outta cotton
Girlz are sexy made outta pepsi
Boys are rotten made outta cotton
Girlz are sexy made outta pepsi

Ooh ahh i lost my bra
I left it in my boyfriend's car
Why did i leave it there
Because i needed to get some air
Ooh ahh i lost my bra
I left it in my boyfriend's car
Broom broom and there he goes
Oops there go my pantyhose

:lol: :lol: :rolleyes:

Bobby McFerrin (sp). :laugh:
