Top Ten Weirdest Songs of the 1960s
The 60's was a decade where novelty songs were all the rage. Any topic, no matter how strange, could be used in songwriting. Believe it or not, a song about a three-legged donkey in space had just about as good a chance of being a hit as the latest Simon & Garfunkel love song (and to be honest, with music where it is today, I'd take a three-legged space donkey song over whatever's on the radio nowadays - at least there wouldn't be any "whoa oh oh's" plaguing the chorus of that song). Please note that the names listed beside the items on this list are the names of the individuals/groups that originally performed the songs (not necessarily the ones who wrote them).
For some reason all eyes focused on me whenever this was played on the radio. And now I'm typing and and sending this from the asylum...
I actually still like this song!
Creepiest song ever written. But I still love it.
Now if you want to talk about sheer weirdness... this song belongs at number one.
I believe this is a cover version of a song from the 1920's, but is that or the song's question really important?
Spelled wrong, possibly why there is no link to a sample.
Fadduh.
Weirdest song ever, period.
Not a novelty song, but a 60's heavy-rock anthem. The title was a drunken corruption of "in the Garden of Eden."

It’s the very definition of weirdness. Just go check it out for yourself (WARNING: extremely spooky)
