Sly and the Family Stone -- "There's A Riot Going On"

heybaby said:

Is he saying "Ripped up like a douche; another runner in the night"?

There's some weird song I heard about fishcakes. Really, it was about fishcakes.

NWF said:

do you mean "fishheads" by barnes & barnes or the bauhaus song where peter murphy sings about how to make fishcakes?

Probably "Casper the homosexual friendly ghost" by Wesley Willis but really everything he did was out there.

Anxiety said:

I think it might've been the Bauhaus song. Although I will say that "Fishheads" is just as strange.

Close! Einstürzende Neubauten. Or Einstuerzende Neubauten if you don't want to use umlauts.

I'm very delighted that so many industrial bands have gotten mentioned in this thread, but believe me... those mentioned are not the weirdest stuff that is out there.

Anxiety said:

"fishhheads,fishheads roly poly fishheads, fishheads, fishheads eat them up yum!" i never knew who did that but me and my sister would watch the video and sing. yeah that one was weird!

NWF said:

the name of that bauhaus song is "1. david j. 2. peter haskins 3. peter murphy 4. daniel ash" (i'm sure i got the order wrong on that, but you get the idea). it's a weird song, but a really interesting idea - each member of bauhaus got a minute or two to do whatever they wanted, then it was all mixed together into one big medley. the peter murphy part is the "fishcakes" ditty...and the daniel ash portion has got one sexy guitar solo.

Early Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle are pretty fucking strange.

GangstaFam said:

That's nothing yet!

But if by bizarre one means silly songs one thing that springs to my mind is definitely "Just Another Onionhead / Da Da Dali" by Todd Rundgren. He did it and a bunch of others on the "Wizard A True Star" while being completely tripping on acid so go figure.
