What are your favorite "out of the norm" songs?

Anyone here remember the Fugs? Their music was as far out of the mainstream as was possible. They played such songs as Boobs A Lot and I Feel Like Homemade Sh*t. They were an East Village band in the 1960's.

Tuli Kupferberg died last year, but Ken Weaver and Ed Sanders are still living. I met Tuli a couple of times and he was very friendly.

"I don't know much about Rap music, but I did see the movie about Biggie and it compelled me to look up this youtube video...pretty amazing IMO...this is when he was only 17 years old and still unknown.

They actually use this freestyle on the new Biggie's Notorious soundtrack album

Who here has listened to 10CC ?
their album "how dare you" features some way out tunes...especially "I wanna rule the world" and "Art for art's sake"

Check them out!

Cool topic!

What a great flashback. My father had a couple of their albums(not CDs) when I was a kid. My favorite will always be "Saran wrap."
