WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Count me as another who was struck by the strangeness of the Napoleon XIV song, "They're Coming To Take Me Away" in 1966. It was immediately one of my 45 rpm purchases and I played it a lot. So much in fact that my Mom told me, "One more time, and they'll be coming to take YOU away". She wasn't laughing, either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4 Steve Z |
no contest, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, "Paralyzed" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paralyzed+legendary+stardust+cowboy |
I think "strange" is a better descriptor than unique, but, I kind of find Klaus Nomi covers to be interesting, Take a look at this version of "Just One Look": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yplwTe5IFQ |
Theodora is Dozing - from the Bulgarian State Women's Choir - a really unusual tune that is just indescribably beautiful. I think David Byrne did a cover version since this was one on one of those classic Folkways World music records. All of those were just the greatest way to travel the world through a record player. |
