Steve Vai's "Flex-Able Leftovers" has a couple of good ones on it. Also, "When I Was A Little Boy" from the Fire Garden album.

Good luck listening to that one.

Anything by The Residents- But I'll pick "Constantinople" from their EP "Duck Stab/Buster & Glen"

Dun-Eros-Bittono

Samla Mammas Manna-Maltid-Dundrets Frojder

Comus-First Utterance-The Herald

Gentle Giant-In A Glass House-An Inmates Lullaby

These are definitely the weirdest songs I have ever heard.

Arc - Neil Young - the whole mini-album. Love feedback in the right places, but waited for something to happen and it never really did. My first experience of Mr Young's diverse style, just as I was getting into the Crazy Horse stuff. Played once........

The album Volume 1 by Fear of Pop was pretty weird, especially considering that it was made by Ben Folds. And anytime William Shatner is involved with music it's bound to be weird. Not the strangest but I think it's worth a mention at least.

If you like that, then try SDSS14+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter)" it's probably even weirder!

 
Wanted to mention that too. My younger brother played this album once to me. Once was also enough for me ;-)
I bought this album and played it one time.  I think that says it all...

Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire (any of it and all of it)

I also thought of this one. It was the first time I heard sprechstimme vocal. 
Also:
Zappa - G-spot Tornado ... and many others.

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

Some songs of guitarists Steve Vai and Ron Thal are also weird.

The Residents, Laurie Anderson, John Zorn - I can't remember any song title

Is this the same song as Art Garfunkel's I Only Have Eyes For You?

"Don't know. Mongo only pawn in game of life."

 
The Art Garfunkel version is a cover of the Flamingo's hit in 1950s (although the song is much older than that). I don't know which band Red is referring to, but the song has been covered numerous times:
 

Thanks, 'Elf. The Flamingos' version is probably the one that I found so haunting as a child, and now I look forward to acquiring it.

If you like that, then try another track from the same album, the 21.43 minute "SDSS14+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter)" it's probably even weirder!

Good call, that is quite possibly the weirdest album ever.
