Pft…pikers.
Now…If’n y’want annoying. The music, her voice, they should both be annoying as all hell. But I simply can’t get enough of the damn song. There’s a bizarre charm to it.

God damn.
You win.
A fellow fan!
From Tokyo Disneyland alone, I have over 100 CD’s. Yes, I need help.
I’ve only met two other people who liked this one, and one of them’s dead now. Pink Floyd’s “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict”. Once I won a record album and totally freaked out a DJ at a local rock station by being able to recognize it and call in with the correct title within a few seconds. (He thought he was going to stump his listeners.) At the time, I could even “sing along” to all of it except the Pict.
There appears to be a Youtube video of it.
Wow, and I thought I could come in here and take the win easily, but there’s no way I can beat the Disney thing. Tell me that you pick up hitchhikers Manatee.
I don’t know anyone like myself who can go from death metal to bluegrass to rap to gospel like I can. I make myself mix CD’s to take to work that would probably kill someone not ready for it.

While I don’t think anyone can top Disneyland ride music, I have to admit that my not-so-secret fondness for “Hollaback Girls” nearly caused my teenager’s eyes terminal sprain from all that eye-rolling. I also kinda secretly like “Hey Ya” (the “shake it like a Polaroid picture” song) from Outkast. I’m so ashamed. I promise those are aberrations, though, and not indicative of my general taste in music.
Well, I’ve already on a number of occasions mentioned my love of Karlheinz Stockhausen. Sometimes I can’t figure it out myself, but for some reason the music just speaks to me.
I’ve posted about it a lot before, but I absolutely love surf music, and actually saw Dick Dale live last year (as well as catching Los Straitjackets and Man… Or Astroman? back in the ‘90s). I’m also extremely fond of rockabilly and psychobilly (seen Reverend Horton Heat, Southern Culture on the Skids, and the Amazing Crowns, among others), swing (seen Royal Crown Revue, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), and ska (seen countless bands and played in one myself during my college years). Those are some of my favorite musical genres of all time!
“Walk Like a Man” by the Four Seasons. Listen to it again; it’s a really good song.
I have this video on my iPod…
I love this thread! Laurie Anderson, check. Surf music, check. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave While Grooving With a Pict, check. All very, very high on my list of musical loves!
This place feels more like home every day.
Barring gospel, I can – my library’s constantly on random and it’s not uncoomon for Dr. Dre or Eminem to follow Sarah McLachlan and then be followed by Dwight Yoakam or Tool – and I would think anyone who truly loves music would be able to as well.
As for me, I can’t think of any truly weird music that I really, really like. Maybe The Monkees? Northern State, which is a playful and brash all-female rap group a la the Beastie Boys? Garmarna, which is Swedish electro-folk rock? Yeah. Probably them. Gamen rocks, though.
Word. To the song, that is, to to whether you’re weird. Can’t corroborate that.
Early '80s girl bands. The Waitresses, The Bangles, Bananarama, The Go-Gos, many more…one more brick paving my road to perdition…
At work one time:
Me:“Y’know, those early '80s girl bands are underappreciated.”
Coworker:“No they’re not.”
The ones that people usually find most annoying are “So Klingt Liebe” by And One and “Standing Still in Time” by Neuropa. But I don’t care. These songs make my head bob and make me smile.
I’m totally the same, though I do tend to only have a few discs of classical music and country, otherwise anything’s fair game.
I won’t cite Captain Beefheart or Diamanda Galas or anything like that–there’s no difficulty in finding fans of extreme, outsider, or avant-garde music all over the place. But “Revolution 9” gets no respect–see the current White Album thread. I think it’s one of the finest tape collage/musique concrète pieces ever constructed. But the Beatles fans close their ears to it because it isn’t a “song,” and the avant-garde crowd dismiss it because it’s by–sniff!–the Beatles.
Squeaky J-pop.
I don’t know why, it’s just… addicting.
I also have tons of sountrack music from Anime and Games (and Disney!) and a good 85% of it annoys the hell out of people.
Also, some techno and German a capella/faux rock (Die Wise Guys, and some Die Prinzen).
Caramelldansen (which the speedycake falls under techno I guess) and Ieva’s Polka (and various remixes) tend to get funny reactions.
Also Me First and the Gimme Gimmes tend to annoy peopel witht ehir punk versions of various songs, nothing like seeing people fume after listening to a punk version of Phantom of the Opera.
J-Pop. And themes from anime.
My BIL listened to some of it, and sat in shock, until he finally said, “I… can’t… believe… I’m hearing this! This is real? What… what the hell?”
It wasn’t happy disbelief, it was teeth-rotting-out-of-my-head-on-aural-contact disbelief.
If I recall correctly, he was listening to *Fruits Candy * from Card Captor Sakura. My husband loves it.
ETA: Jragon’s post wasn’t there before I composed mine! Apparently, Jragon rocks.
I absolutely love Ofrah Haza- she was a Yemeni folk singer, kinda like the “Madonna of the arab world” Whenever I play my cd in my car my friends say “Oh no, she’s playing that belly dancing music again!” :smack:
