The Five Most Bizarre Songs on My iPod at the Moment

I like for my music tastes to be more than just tastes. I like them to be experiences in tune with all of my senses. And sometimes my senses get together and possess me to have songs like the following five on my iPod. Songs that, if you've never heard them before, are sure to make you think just a little less of me, and for good reason. So, without further ado, here are the five most bizarre songs on my iPod at the moment (in no particular order).

1. Queen - Bring Back That Leroy Brown - If the 1920s were sticking their nose into any song written in the past forty years, this would have to be it as far as I have heard. Replete with bouncy rhythms, wild pitch changes and the sheer sharpness with which the song is pulled off, you'll wonder just what kind of band would put out something like this. The answer? Queen, because they rock.
2. Muse - Con-Science - Beginning with a very simple piano riff, Con-Science builds on that with which it begins with some of the creepiest melodies I've ever heard. Try and listen to this song with the lights off and not feel just a little scared. Go ahead, try it. There's a reason this song isn't very popular, but it's a dark corner of Muse's past that even most fans don't know about.
3. Radiohead - Everything in Its Right Place - Weird mumbles, grunts, computer noises, and robot sounds aside, this is a great song to memorize the lyrics to and interpret just however you want. Other than that, it makes you feel like you're lost in the middle of a Stanley Kubrick maze that's been tiled with LSD and aerated with Essence of Psychadelia.
4. Muse - Micro Cuts - Where Con-Science was spooky and haunting, Micro Cuts just makes you want to run for your life from this giant beast screaming its falsetto nonsense. Matt Bellamy, the singer/pianist/guitarist/songwriter for Muse, said that this song came about as a result of a nightmare he had involving giant blades swinging in the sky. I think the song conveys that very well. After listening to the video immediately after this block of text, type "Micro Cuts in G Major" into YouTube and be exponentially more scared.
5. Mindless Self-Indulgence - Tom Sawyer - If you don't like Rush, shame on you, first of all. Second of all, Mindless Self-Indulgence was kind enough to put together this little cover for you so you can BS your way through a conversation with any of those obnoxious hardcore Rush fans (yes, myself included). This song goes almost cardiac-arrestingly fast and makes the original feel like it's in slow motion. Is this a slap in the face or a tribute to Rush? That's for you to decide and for me to say that it doesn't matter what you say because it rocks.

So I hope this little list has shown you why I tend not to elaborate on the types of bands I listen to, or maybe it's convinced you to never ask what's in my car's CD player. Either way, I hope this was entertaining for you, and if there are any bizarre songs out there you think take the cake, feel free to comment on this post or message me on Facebook.
