Anything done by Mr Bungle. Every one of their songs was aggressively "weird", drawing on upwards of a dozen different musical styles, and each of their albums covered a very distinct range of genres, so if you find it's starting to make too much sense or you just don't like a particular song - simply switch to a new song, or a new album. This is one of their most popular tracks:

I love Mr. Bungle and pretty much all of Mike Patton's other work, he has a huge range. Unfortunately he brought Mr. Bungle back recently and the music is absolute sellout garbage shit. I'm really disappointed. He made an anti racism song, and I just don't get why. None of the other music ever touched politics.
Eracist - Mr. Bungle

Hipster jackal bark and snark
Sniffin' in the car park
Eracist, eracist
Eracist

Watch the statistics lie
Liars, they love their stats
Keep your shit-eating grin sly
And ignore the ballistics

That's just terrible. That's what I get for trusting a spic I guess.

Moving on, I really like these guys. This is their weirdest video. Real old so the quality is bad.

This is my favorite song of theirs, it's about Uncle Ted
 
Both from The Divine Comedy Album - Liberation:

Festive Road summarizes the premise of the 1971 BBC children's animation, in which the titular Mr Benn leaves his house on Festive Road and visits a nearby fancy dress shop, where his choice of costume results in an appropriately-themed magical adventure.



Bernice Bobs Her Hair is a sung synopsis of the identically-titled short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, that chronicles a battle of wills between Bernice and her devious cousin, Marjorie.

 
Weird as fuck time signature and rhythm structure.

Most of the track is pure sound design and atmosphere with little actual melody. From what I understand, a lot of the sound design was done using microsamples of drum hits or heavily granulated pieces of other songs.
 
John Shuttleworth - Catch the Fox

The song's budget Casio keyboard backing and good natured vocals bely the dark subject matter - one Malcolm Fairley: A burglar / serial rapist who constructed dens in the homes of his victims.

 
^^ love John Shuttleworth.

The American sound artist Maryanne Amacher (pronounced am-ah-shay) created some fairly unique music, but, because her work is very dependent on the listening environment and was used mainly in installations, the effect of her strangest pieces is unlikely to be experienced to full effect. She also didn't care to reduce her work to fit on a stereo compact disc, so her discography is quite small.

Her strangest works are designed to create "otoacoustic emissions," sounds that seem to come from inside the listener's head, but to experience the effect requires good speakers and high volume - it just doesn't work on headphones, and low volume playback won't show much.

Here's a video with a good explanation of the phenomenon and some listener reactions to it:

Her album "Sound Characters (Making the Third Ear)" is on Vimeo, and if the beginning just sounds like bleeping, it isn't loud enough. This Pitchfork piece is worth a read too, if the concept interests,

One of her other works, "Adjacencies," has no weird effects but does at least sound good on YouTube at normal volume:

Also sorta weird - Iannis Xenakis' "La légende d'Eer":
Again, computer speakers playing a stereo mix can't do it justice.

Today is the day I make a music thread combining weird/niche genres of music. Personally, for me, I made this thread because I wanted to post a thread about Industrial Music, but somebody already did that but they barely got any comments, so this is a remake of that thread that also involves just straight up strange wave genre music and other genres I don't even know how to classify. Here are some songs/bands I think belong in this department.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=SsnZFz4DQP0Corrupted By Design by Pertubator is a very interesting song. Like Cyberpunk met the Crew 2 soundtrack.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=QDmWYVdN8ugThis song is just funny.

I could throw in a few songs by Skinny Puppy and Front 242 but I wanna see what you Farmers come with.

He's a rich faggot from cuckifornia, I like Mr. Bungle and all, but it'd be more surprising if he wasn't a complete faggot like everyone he lives with and hangs around.
 
This one is pretty weird, even more so if you believe the story around it.

Frogcore is also pretty weird, if based on normal standards

Pretty boring answers, but I felt I needed to contribute something other than MIKE PATTON IS A TALENTLESS CUNT AND ALL, YES ALL OF HIS MUSIC SUCK.
