Default The craziest song you know

It's hard to define crazy, so let's not even try it.
Crazy is not necessarily strange or avantgarde.
It's a feeling.
The song might be from any genre or no genre at all.
It might be crazy in a humorous or scary way, or both.
It might have just one crazy element (vocals, weird guitars...) or be made of 100% crazy.
But just one song. I know it's hard to choose.

I specialize in the weird stuff, so the one-song-rule is especially difficult for me, but I think I'll go with this one, although something much more crazy might pop into my head any time, making me regret this choice.

Tubular Bells. All 49:18 of it but especially the Piltdown Man section.

Just one? Probably the Beatles' "Revolution 9". But some of the Wolves in Sheepskin stuff I've listened to lately gives it a run for its money.

I think The Angry Angakok or Birth by The Residents is probably the craziest, it's hard to think of a single song.





One time me and a group of pals were listening to this and my military buddy who was on leave for long enough to smoke weed got really freaked out by this album. "Can I just listen to something ****ing normal Christophe?!" We told him it was Led Zeppelin and that just freaked him out more.

Predictable, i know
I know other songs that are crazier than this one but i like how Frank screams in this song.
He screams like a man in madness.

That takes me back. My first Residents album.

Also great tactic for freaking people out. I'll have to try it sometime.

I thought it was the stupidest thing ever.
Some years later, when I really got into Galas' music I thanked her.
