Syd Barrett's The Pink Floyd is definitely at the top of my list for weirdness. Buy the album the piper at the gates of dawn, you won't regret it if you haven't heard it. Syd pretty much started the psychadellic movement by playing with the band in underground clubs in England. Hunt down the singles and unreleased stuff like vegetable man (their weirdest song to me by far and one of the last before the band booted him out) and scream thy last scream too and anyone would be happy or possibly freaked out by this stuff. There's tons of 60s stuff out there thats pretty weird, try the nuggets box set to get a taste of other strange garage psychadellic bands.

Pound for pound, the weirdest song I've ever heard is probably "Paralyzed" by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Basically, it's two and a half minutes of a guy screaming incoherently in a cowboy voice (no rhyme or structure, mind you, just screaming) while playing one chord on an acoustic guitar, accompanied by a driving snare-drum beat (reportedly played by T-Bone Burnett, who was hanging around the studio). Then, in the middle of it all, there's a borderline-atonal bugle solo. Really, words can't describe it. Go on to whatever Napster clone you're using nowadays and search until you find it. You won't be disappointed.

Other choice picks...

*"The Crusher" by the Novas (and later covered by the Cramps). Weird old rockabilly song where the singer seems to be impersonating an insane wrestler. Sample lyric:

Do the hammerlock!
Do the hammerlock!
RAAAAAAA!!!!!
Do the hammerlock, you turkey-necks!
RAAA!
Do the hammerlock!
Do the hammerloooooooock,
Everyone is doing it!
RAAAAAAAA!!!!!

*"Split Level Head" by Napoleon XIV. Album cut from the man who brought you "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!" (which itself could probably make the list). Sped-up vocals shouting different sets of lyrics about living in one's own little world coming from each speaker, all to a pounding cowbell.

*"Patches the Clown" by Deadbolt. Hilarious psychobilly song consisting mostly of interviews with people who have had run-ins with a violent, alcoholic clown. Sample quote:

"My son was sick, and I hired Patches to come and cheer my boy up in the hospital. He said he'd do it for a hundred bucks, a bottle of whiskey, and a six pack of malt liquor. Well, we waited all day at the hospital; the bastard never showed up. So I went to his trailer and knocked on the door. He opened it... And he beat the living sh*t out of me. It was embarassing.

*Anything by the following artists:

"Wild Man" Fischer (the 60s & 70s' answer to Wesley Willis)
Perrey & Kingsley (late 60s syntho-lounge)
King Missile (Odd little spoken-word band; their biggest hit was "Detachable Penis")
Barnes & Barnes (of "Fish Heads" fame, but their other stuff can be at least as weird-- Check out their album "Voobaha")

Wild Man Fisher!!  Produced and discovered by Frank Zappa!!

Zappa also produced Captain Beefheart around the same time, and the original Alice Cooper albumns.

...then rediscovered and written-for by Barnes & Barnes! My personal favorite of his is "The Taster."

Come on, let's do the taster!
Where our love is so braster! (don't ask me, the guy has issues)
And the things of the past
Can be as good as the re-e-est!

I haven't seen it, but the liner notes for "roseland" decribe a song called "Don't Fart Around With Love"

A buddy of mine picked up Norman Greenbaum's Greatest Hits
You remember Spirit in the Sky? Well track 2 sums up the rest of the disk entitled "Wierd." Followed with songs like Canned Ham, The Eggplant that ate Chicago, and The Day they sold Beer in Church.

I also have to put up there King Crimson's Cat Food. Really twisted tune.

Can't forget the great Todd Rundgren. Emperor of the Highway is the first that comes to mind from him. Then there is the album A Wizard, A True Star. It must be heard to believed. Some of his best work but really bizarre stuff. Just listen to Rock & Roll p***y or Dogfight Giggle off of it.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
