Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on, "The WEIRDEST HIT SONGS Ever". As the years go by and genres continue to blurry, memes are taking over, TikTok controls what's popular, indie artists are alongside legends on Spotify playlists, and so on and so on...anything goes when it comes to what can become a hit song. Here's a video looking back throughout the years and seeing what stuck out before weirdness became the norm. We've got Bohemian Rhapsody, Billie Eilish, Fireflies, and so on. Enjoy.

that black eyed peas era doesn't feel dystopian when you find out it's intentional. will-i-am talks about how when the 2008 financial crisis hit and most media became really depressing, doomer, and hopeless, he intentionally made music that was superficial, fun, and mindless, to give people just a few minutes' break from the world, where they had positive emotions, even if just over something like a shallow party song.

Mambo No. 5 by Bob the builder.
What a sentence

Bohemian Rhapsody literally changed the way that people saw they could make music. Queen changed the game with their one song.

Royals doesn’t get enough credit for paving the way for musicians like Twenty One Pilots and Billie Eilish to succeed.
Also Bob the Builder having more than one number one in the UK is an insane fact of life

I’ve always felt like Sicko Mode was an incredibly weird rap track to pick as the most popular song in the world

The fact that Axel F became a hit twice, including a fictional frog covering it, is fucking hilarious.

FIREFLIES BY OWL CITY IS SUCH A BANGER. like i genuinely can't stress how much i enjoy this song to this day.

Fireflies is actually about having insomnia, so it’s less of a song that’s the embodiment of small bean energy, and more of a song that’s the embodiment of autism creature energy before the autism creature was ever a thing.

Realizing that poker face came out just a few months before fireflies is a perfect example of how insanely fast and yet absurdly slow time is.

I don't think you can talk about weird hit songs without mentioning The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations. It was a number one hit in the US, UK, and many other countries. Multiple different unique sounding sections, abrupt tape splices connecting them, constant shifting in dynamics, and eclectic instrumentation. It almost seems like people don't even realize just how weird the song actually is because it just works so incredibly well as a cohesive whole.

barbie girl has a deeper context considering the times it was released, there was a heavy "player" mentality during the 90s. the song, in a way, is satire of the hot girl concept, which was a response to the "player" throughout the club scene.

This is how I feel about dubstep. Such a weirdly experimental genre that shot up into the mainstream with no problem.

There's a 2012 elephant in the room not addressed in this video 😂 Gangam Style not only was a hit, but was the biggest song that year, and managed to both usher the k-pop era while simultaneously being very distinctive and different from mainstream k-pop. It was trailblazing, and yet so unconventional by k-pop standards, so I think it actually deserves a mention in both categories you mentioned : the oddball, and the trailblazer. Plus, it's in Korean...

Eyyy glad you mentioned Bob the Builder's Mambo No. 5, because while it did reach number 1 in the UK, it was also banned by BBC Radio 2. The reasoning was that after 9/11, with the executive music producer of BBC Radio 2 described the song "too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking", so they removed it from their playlist.

I think one of the weirdest hits is Windowlicker. It's creator, Aphex Twin, didn't even want it to be a hit and pulled the song from circulation. He isn't someone who wants popularity and therefore makes the weirdest shit you will hear and has the weirdest music videos you will see. I can't even describe it with words you have to see it for yourself.

milkshake is the weirdest huge song to me. it just sounds strange.

ngl fireflies makes perfect sense to be a hit to me. that synth riff is the definition of lighting in a bottle and is such a good ear worm

Fireflies became a hit because the song talked about imagination. Something we all need from time to time, not just kids. It has beautiful melody to it and it tells us to spot the little things within the big frame, to appreciate and be happy for the small stuff. Such as fireflies (or other bugs). To see the beauty of it. Owl City nailed it! Takes one to another realm, tbh. THAT'S why it was a hit.
