Weirdest song you have heard in a game ?

Power Instinct Matrimelee has a J-pop soundtrack that includes a song about overclocking computers and shopping for hardware parts in Akihibara.

Pretty sure it's also the only game on the Neo-Geo that has a soundtrack with vocals on most (or all?) of the tracks.
 
Stilt Village

Every time I listen to this track, I'm just like "wat". It sounds stupid and doesn't juxtapose at all with the rest of the soundtrack.

More minor example:

Yellow Stream

I don't know why, but the violin change at 0:43 always makes me do a double-take.
 
Blue Dragon: Eternity for sure. But also one of the most awesome EVER.

Definitely. I remember I was paying attention to every detail of Mistwalker when they were a new and exciting prospective studio. That's one of the best WTF moments too.

Hearing turn around by Bonnie Taylor in Battlefield 4 was a bit out there.

Well yeah but even in the game the characters are talking about how they can't stand that song IIRC. It's coming out of a sound system from a vehicle that the guys commandeer in order to escape from the enemy, and then it is still playing from the vehicle during the tense situation underwater. Given that context, it's not really out of place.
