That's one of the worst things I have ever heard in my life. But also one of the most-I dunno!

Good ol' Jean Jacques Perrey, and frequent collaborator Gershon Kingsley and sometimes Dana Countryman. Mr. Perrey had been doing weird instrumental music since the 50s! Good beat though.

Leona Anderson was a deliberate parody of Florence Foster Jennings:

Though
FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS made her recordings prior to
LEONA ANDERSON, I think
LEONA was better known in the wake of her 1959 album which was released a few years before
JENKINS first "album" was released in the early '60s... probably inspired by the success that met
Music To Suffer By.
JENKINS of course had died in 1944 and probably would have been forgotten if not for
LEONA.
Since the focus is more "bad" and "humorous" than "weird" I offer

All Music Guide lists a genre called "obscuro": "he weird, the puzzling, the ill-conceived, the unclassifiable, the musical territory you never dreamed existed." Here are all the albums they give 4.5 stars (no 5 star albums, perhaps understandably):

"Tonto Rides Again," T.O.N.T.O.'s Expanding Head Band
"The Music of Raymond Scott: Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights"
"The Many Sides of Lee Lee Hazlewood"

"1968 to 1970: An Axelrod Anthology," David Axelrod
Of the one's I'm familiar with, I wouldn't think Raymond Scott was too weird or bizarre, though he did do some experimental stuff:
http://youtu.be/j45MKwv04z8 (http://youtu.be/j45MKwv04z8)
Bruce Haack is super-weird. I don't really like his stuff at all.
http://youtu.be/EQcXdb8A9LA (http://youtu.be/EQcXdb8A9LA)
David Axelrod is a great, creative jazz/funk composer. I don't think of him as weird; maybe I just haven't heard the right cuts.

yeah I think it works best in small doses (a bit like extreme death metal). listening to a whole album of it, is a bit of a task...
I used to have an album on vinyl that was made entirely of tunes composed on the 'music' section of the old video game MARIO PAINT
