Songs that are fun and a little odd that you remember.

"Rasputin" used to a staple at science fiction conventions in the Pacific Northwest. Danced to it many a time.

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

Thanks a lot.

Actually "Time Warp" was the more popular one at Con-Version. I didn't usually stay long at the dances because I value my hearing, but I was introduced to that when one of my roommates and a few others decided to practice the steps in our room.

My own Saturday night activities after the costume contest usually included filking and visiting a few of the quieter room parties.

Basically just play the collective works of the Doctor Demento show....

Fisheads
Dead Puppies
They're Coming to take me Away...

But then there's "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport".... Just a classic song that I will never forget... I still find myself whistling it from time to time for no apparent reason..

Let's not forget Pat Benatar's sci-fi classic: "My Clone Sleeps Alone."

This has to be my favourite weird song. The insane video makes it even more bizarre!

Same here. It never made any sense to me, but it's catchy.

OMG Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer..... I remember that. At the time the video was rather unique and ground breaking.

Here's another odd one I liked at the time by Lou Reed.
