I'll post Star Trekkin because I still have the 12 inch vinyl of this.

Yes, it was the Volkswagen commercial that introduced it to me, but Trio's "Da Da Da" fits this quite well. It was very quirky and odd:

I remember that being on the radio, believe it or not. Also the follow-up, "Boom Boom."

My favorite song is funnier now than when I memorized it at 11 because now I know I'm gay.

She fed me strawberries
And freezer-burned ice cream
I said "Goodbye, I guess"
She lifted up her dress
And so I must confess,
We made out one more
Time before I left for good
She thought I'd come back but I
Wouldn't want to seem like other guys
A book-and-record love,
We sat and read our books,
Between those longing looks,
Compounded by our fear,
My tongue inside her ear,
My tongue inside her

"Rah-Rah-Rasputin,
"Lover of the Russia queen . . .."

A friend of mine used to run the dance at Baycon. Her playlist always included

That one's more than a "little" odd.

I'll never forgive my wife's sister for showing us that video.
