Lemmy Kilmister did a cameo in this video!
Well, they asked and you answered.
Wrap it up boys. We found the winner! WTF?

Bitch I’m a cow
It was a song I heard from a friend who was in a Music Appreciation class. The song was just counting in kind of a meditative chant and only did it in groups of 2 3 or 4, i can’t remember. and they only counted to 12 or something and then started back. so it’d be like “one two three four one two three four five six seven eight one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve one two three four”
“Little Specked Egg” by Cordelia’s Dad
Never get ahead by Bobby Conn. In this video he’s performing at a youth show, so he isn’t allowed to sing ‘you’ll never get ahead by giving head to the man’ instead singing ‘saying yes to the man’. But he slips up once, saying sorry after.
Cut the Mullet. A classic. And good advice in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roxMH07qHmc
For some general Milwaukee style weird, there will always be Wooden Robot. I really liked Wooden Robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOmtl8Lmeps
RIP Wesley Willis.
Sid berret is the musical version of Salvador Dali.
Here’s a good one. On the surface, it’s not that strange… Until you think you’re having a stroke because none of the words make sense. It’s all gibberish

Or completely non-strange once you understand the method behind the madness. Either way, a damn cool/funny song IMO.
Anyway for the OP, instead of going with the many, many artists who intentionally made strange music, I’ll go instead with The Shaggs, three teenage girls who had utterly no musical training, but who tried their best to make conventional, ‘normal music’:

Over the decades, the album Philosophy of the World circulated among musicians and found fans such as Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain. Following a 1980 reissue on Rounder Records, it received enthusiastic reviews for its uniqueness in Rolling Stone and The Village Voice. A compilation of unreleased material, Shaggs’ Own Thing, was released in 1982. The Shaggs became the subject of fascination in the 1990s, when interest grew in outsider music, and they are credited with influencing twee pop. --WP
That Shaggs tune was cool. The guitar actually remind me of the final few tracks on Velvet Underground and Nico, when it’s degenerating into madness.

That’s what I like- organic ‘strangeness’. Philip Glass has made some strange sounding music but with intent, that was his style. The Celentano piece is intentional linguistically too but it’s a very strange to experience how effectively he’s mimicking US ‘phonics’ or whatever.
The Tim Curry piece is hilariously strange to me because Tim Curry actually can and does rock, but somehow wrote an embarrassingly unrocking song about how rocking he is.
Very experimental, not just with microtonality but making the singers do noises that few composers dared to put into their music.
Shake it Off by Taylor Swift
Maybe not the strangest, but definitely up there. Twiggy Twiggy by Pizzicato Five.
