weird bands... I love them

Alright.  Anyone still interested in Melt Banana, watch this, it's hysterical.  Just to warn you, though, they are not for everyone!  Japanese noise rock, with a very strange singer.  I saw them live one time, and it was great, they had props and everything, but like I said, not for everyone.  Also this is probably not work/family friendly.  Here ya go....

Can't believe I forgot The Cows, The Swans, Helios Creed, and no-no Galore.  What was I thinking, seriously weird stuff there!
 
Freak Out!

What will you do if we let you go home,
And the plastic's all melted,
And so is the chrome?
WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?

What will you do when the label comes off,
And the plastic's all melted,
And the chrome is too soft?

WAAAAHHHHHH!
I think I'm gonna die . . .
I think I'm gonna die . . .
I think I'm going to die . . .
I think I'm going to die . . .
I think I'm going to die . . .
I think I'm going to die . . .
I'm gonna die . . .
I think I'm going to die . . .
I think I'm gonna die . . .
I'm going to die . . .
I think I'm gonna die . . .
I think I'm gonna die . . .
I think I'm gonna die . . .
Going to die!

WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?

What will you do if the people you knew
Were the plastic that melted,
And the chromium too?
WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?

I must admit I'm surprised by the lack of Van Der Graaf Generator in this thread, or are they too weird? ;)

Never seen this clip before, really high quality for TV of the era, this is also from the era with Nic Potter on bass which makes it even more interesting (Nic Potter was replaced with Hugh Banton's organ bass pedals).

EDIT:

Just stumbled on an excellent version of Man Erg from the 2005 reunion tour.

... to me, I like bands like paranoid larry or they might be giants etc.  Not weird at all ... to me bands like slip knot and their ilk and some of those jesus bands are weird.  Some people think Los Lobos are strange and would rather see Pat Travers.  So ... you know what they say about opinions, everyone has one like an @$$40!3
 
Christian metal is really weird to me.  Some of my students and I were trying to figure out what lyrics would be like for a Christian metal song and we came up with something like "And Jesus will reign from the sky!" in that gravelly death metal voice.  It just didn't sound right. 
 
I was just listening to these guys and thought they could be considered weird. The concept is kind of strange, but it works so well.

Rondellus: http://www.sabbatum.com/  Black Sabbath songs sung in Latin and performed on medieval instruments.

I actually kind of like these tunes. I find it relaxing. And it also shows how melodic those Sabbath tunes really are.
 
not weird to me, but some might think so...
