"everybody way oh" by Terry S Taylor from The Neverhood soundtrack (hell, the whole OST). Sounded like the weirdest thing I'd ever heard in a game, or song in general for that matter. Hearing it now I think it sounds pretty cool.

Edit: Can't wait to hear more of his work in Armikrog.

The shop song in Evergrace is the only correct answer.

I try to get off that screen as quick as is humanly possible. So random.

The game's soundtrack is full of guitar-riff heavy songs, and plenty of electronica. Really intense boss fight themes, and in my opinion one of the best OSTs in all of the Wii/360/PS3 generation
Then you walk into the item shop. And hear Heavenly Star.
In a game full of WTF moments, that's up there -- but as an awesome one. That song is such a guilty pleasure of mine.

I mean, I love Tales of Legendia's OST to death, but it had some weird ass things put into a bunch of songs.
"hey let's pitchbend these voices until they don't match the key of the song"
Also the entirety of Forever Kingdom and Evergrace's OST

Persona 3 battle theme. Why are there terrible vocals in a song I will hear a million times before the end of the game? It grew on me after a while but WTF.

First thing I thought of. Just a really, really weird choice for the final boss battle.
The opening song from GiFTPIA . Pretty much all of its soundtrack is full weird.

That is not only the most appropriate battle theme, it's one of the greatest of all time. You need to rethink some things.

You mean best.
Earthbound: Enjoy the Dungeon
This is one of the longer dungeons in the game, and this 10 second clip just keeps repeating over and over. Weirdest song I've ever heard put in a game. I love it.

Blue Dragon: Eternity for sure. But also one of the most awesome EVER.

Came to post this, man wtf.
MtG gone pop punk.
Wario Land 4 has some awesomely strange music. But this game was one of those cases where Sakamoto and his team really let loose and did whatever they wanted, so the weird music actually fits. Enjoy:
Avocado Song
Golden Diva's Lips
Hurry Up!
The Wario Hop
About That Shepherd
Personally, I think this stuff is genius, and Wario Land 4 is a very, very underrated game. Just listen to that last song. Wow.

'Splosion Man's Donut Song.
Not too out of place in such a strange game, but it sure is a weird song.

That was awesome. Did not expect that for a status screen.

It fits the whole 'anime' vibe of the game though. Gotta have that in there somewhere.

Bitter Dance in Star Ocean 3.
You are exploring this large tower-like complex and this song pops out of nowhere for a boss fight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYfCBQMtHSw I have fairly high regards for the SO3 Soundtrack however this one song just didn't fit anywhere in the game and doesn't sound remotely similar to any of the other tracks in the game. (I mean Bitter Dance does not sound anything like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFj-zNYb9n4 or this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTlX6NhDGQ or even this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIKaqW4Rgj8 ) Considering the most of the Prog. Rock stuff in Star Ocean 3....Bitter Dance just doesn't fit at all.
This is Motoi Sakuraba too, the same composer that did the music for Dark Souls 1 and 2, a large majority of the Tales series, Golden Sun, Mario Golf : Toadstool Tour, Mario Tennis, some. Out of all of this works that singular song was just jarring to me.

Came into the thread expecting to see this, GAF did not disappoint. I don't think I will ever stop laughing at this track, I'm almost starting to like it! Well, not quite.

Persona 1 was unnervingly eerie and strange.
Mana Castle
Tadashi's Pharmacy
Accident
Night Cries of the Forest
These shoulda been WAY earlier in the thread. These are godlike out-of-left-field OSTs.
Both of each OST is full of odd time signatures, shitcrackers backwards masked lyrics, and wierd tones done REAL GOOD.

There was a weird moment of time iwhere a ton of games had Breaking Bad's Polyamourous in it, a BMX game, WWE Day of Reckoning and weirdly it was like the main song in RLH.

So damn catchy.
Is there a proper name for pictures like this? I've seen quite a lot and they're absolutely hysterical.

This post wins the thread. Was gonna say the ending of portal one, but, nothing can top that resident evil track.
Entering the Ocean View hotel and hearing that made me laugh the first time. Vice City is truly incredible.

Well, it was a electricity based area, so it sort of made sense... Sort of. Maybe a little? Definitely weird though.
