Otto's Weird Music Thread

I was remarking earlier on Bill McClintock vs DJ Cummerbund. This is a good comparison since they are using one of the same songs as a base.
As I mentioned, I generally prefer DJ Cummerbund, but both guys are really talented at mashups

Sorry to add another update so close to the last one, but I never realized this made it to Youtube, its a band from 1973 - Hocus Pocus by Focus, and it definitely belongs in the weird music category

And the extra insanity of this performance: They had to fit a 7 minute song into 5 minutes so they just played it faster.

When Russian and Japanese otaku team up the result is: Ice cold cute.
Ah the moog synthesizer. It was a really big deal when it came out, it was first created in 1964, and had it's heyday between 1965 and 1981. It was analog of course, and was superseded by digital devices which did the same type thing at a lot less cost. Here's a good video of the capabilities of one of them.

Shocking non weirdness - Some time BIS made this video to shock their fans and, according to what I had read, their fans was not only shocked, they were horrified. 
That is clearly horrifying. Those poor strawberries!Shocking non weirdness - Some time BIS made this video to shock their fans and, according to what I had read, their fans was not only shocked, they were horrified.
I, um, seriously don't get it. Something in the lyrics I completely didn't understand?

BiS fans was used to stuff like "Mura Mura" or "StuPig" or this:
So, when that vid came out, they thought BiS changed into a generic cute idol group.
A bit like Twisted Sister would have suddenly transformed into a christian folk rock band.
Ah OK, I get it. The old "They were expecting punk rock but we came as the Ozmonds" prankBiS fans was used to stuff like "Mura Mura" or "StuPig" or this:

And if you've never heard of the Osmonds, and feel a need to (Please don't)

Now i wonder how a BiS / Osmonds collab would have looked like 
Here is another BiS classic, even kind of fits Renderunto's main theme

Heilung play experimental folk music, which, they say, is "amplified history from early medieval northern Europe". Weird, but extremely powerful and interesting (and listen on good headphones or speakers if you can).

Just to add to this evening's Nordic turn:
That was interesting. So they translated the Led Zeppelin version into old Norse? It was different. I'll have to take time to listen to the earlier ones, got to find my ear phones, the monitor speakers leave a lot to be desired.

Given Led Zep's 'loose' attitude to crediting the original writers, who knows?!
It's hard to credit when you're so high you can't remember your own name
That and with a lot of Zeppelin's lyrics if you took the time to analyze them, they didn't make a whole lot of sense.
This one for example:
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago
The only thing North of Chicago is a place called Canada which is not known for its levees those things are in delta country which are considerably south of Chicago.
It sounded good though
