Bands that make absolutely no sense

Came across this video a while ago and I think it fucking rules! This was a song written before 1984:


The lyrics are definitely a bit.... out there....
Try to relax me now (but then again)
OH NO! Isn't it good?
(but why do I feel so misunderstood?)
Could it be that I'm peeling
Look at my finger
(wait here for just a moment)
Look at me wiggle.....
No wonder I'm feeling bored all of the time
Could it be that I'm wrong
(I'm right)
I'm wrong but then again

Oh it would be nice for everyone
Oh what a lovely way to be

Sit me down and make me stay
to say the first things on my mind
"My Soldier..."
"Will Hay..."
Silver bells and cockle shells
and... er ... pretty maids all in a row
'cause my leg is a part of me.

I always knew what was wrong with me
I could tell by my general attitude
(attitude!!!)
I always knew it would get physical
as a part of my longtitude altitude oh...

What's on the table (nicki..nicki..ni)
GOOD LORD!, look at the cakes!
I'm going to go and mess them all up
or is it that I'm dreaming
Look at my finger
(wait here for just a moment)
Look at me wiggle.....
No wonder I'm feeling bored all of the time
Could it be that I'm wrong
(I'm right)
I'm wrong but then again

Oh it would be nice for everyone
Oh what a lovely way to be

Sit me down (etc....)

It's the same, I sometimes wonder
if something or other's in my headbone...

I seriously love Mr. Bungle. Now that's a great mix between humor and enjoyable, tasteful music.
 
I don't feel it's that spastic - it's unpredictable and musically disorganized, but it doesn't have this kind-of-atonal and rhythmic bizarreness (sorry, I can't come with a better definition) that I find on these newer bands.
 
I actually enjoyed that iwabo video. I wouldn't have trusted it without the train of consequences between the 17th second of watching it and the last one to explain why I did :lol:
 
To me, bands that make no sense at all are much rather straight-copycats of successful acts. Bands that feature little to no originality and only ride on the tails of successful innovators. I have ZERO respect for that.
 
<3 Naked City, however they make perfect sense.
Their track named "thrash jazz assassin" sums them up completely.
