My personal choice for weirdest and also the worse song recorded by him would be Not That Funny. It is soo annoying with the moaning on the live version (Mirage 82 tour)

I love it too!! I think it's a very underrated song. people usually believe it's only lindsey having fun with synths and samplering. for me, it pictures so well complicated feelings that maybe were so complex he couldn't express them in a more "conventional" way, like a "normal" song.

This thread is really making me laugh...!

Gift of Screws is odd but wonderful. Play in the Rain ... odd, but less wonderful. Bwana is just dreadful.

Lindsey has made a career of strange songs, so it's hard to say which one is "weird" for him.

I distinguish weird, however, from bad. Some of his strangest/weirdest songs are my favorites.

Here's my list:

Tusk (possibly the best damn song of that entire lineup!)
Not That Funny (which rocks...I love it!)
The Ledge (truly bizarre, especially in its sequencing as the second song)
Can't Go Back (At the time, I thought what the heck is this?)
Make Me a Mask (Ditto)
Big Love (on Tango)

But, no matter how eclectic his solo albums are, nothing on them strikes me as weird. Only in the context of Mac do I think such things.

I used to think it was kind of hot, but now I mostly find it annoying. F*ck that dueling guitar bit with him and John passing the joint. That's funny (if long); the song isn't.

I just have no idea what its all about. If i was introducing a friend to lindsey that would be at the bottom of the "here, wait till you hear this one" pile

Yes, how I remember the look on my dad's face when he walked into my room and heard that playing

No one has said Time precious Time - And it is weird big time.
Its weird weird weird. Its like coming back from DMT.

Also, not a big fan of "Come." He has stated that the song is about Anne Heche.

I always took miranda to be (literally) about anne heche. and sexual abuse.

Is Bwana weird? I wouldn't have said so. It's not sonically weird like Play In The Rain. I've played it in places before and no one has batted an eyelid. Then when RPTF came on two people said it sounded "weird and freaky". No accounting for what people think is weird, I guess.
