Who can forget CBAT

I for one certainly cannot forget CBAT. It’s nuts, and so good, and so bad.
I’ve been transported back to YTMND days.
I can’t believe multiple people put a lot of effort into making this. So weird.
I think it’ll get neglected a little bit just because of how well-known and frankly good it is, but Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is a very weird song. Probably not the very strangest for me, but it’s up there. Definitely the strangest that I actually like and remember well.

Or completely non-strange once you understand the method behind the madness. Either way, a damn cool/funny song IMO.
Anyway for the OP, instead of going with the many, many artists who intentionally made strange music, I’ll go instead with The Shaggs, three teenage girls who had utterly no musical training, but who tried their best to make conventional, ‘normal music’:

Over the decades, the album Philosophy of the World circulated among musicians and found fans such as Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain. Following a 1980 reissue on Rounder Records, it received enthusiastic reviews for its uniqueness in Rolling Stone and The Village Voice. A compilation of unreleased material, Shaggs’ Own Thing, was released in 1982. The Shaggs became the subject of fascination in the 1990s, when interest grew in outsider music, and they are credited with influencing twee pop. --WP

That’s what I like- organic ‘strangeness’. Philip Glass has made some strange sounding music but with intent, that was his style. The Celentano piece is intentional linguistically too but it’s a very strange to experience how effectively he’s mimicking US ‘phonics’ or whatever.
The Tim Curry piece is hilariously strange to me because Tim Curry actually can and does rock, but somehow wrote an embarrassingly unrocking song about how rocking he is.
That Shaggs tune was cool. The guitar actually remind me of the final few tracks on Velvet Underground and Nico, when it’s degenerating into madness.
Maybe not the strangest, but definitely up there. Twiggy Twiggy by Pizzicato Five.
Whatever the hell this song is supposed to be. The more you watch, the weirder it gets.
Wrap it up boys. We found the winner! WTF?
Well, they asked and you answered.

Sounds like a John Cage piece, but I have no clue.

Here’s a good one. On the surface, it’s not that strange… Until you think you’re having a stroke because none of the words make sense. It’s all gibberish

Anything by Clown Core or Macabre is always sure to delight.

Literally anything by Prince Midnight. He plays black metal on a xylophone and a guitar supposedly made of the skeletal remains of his late uncle (Google it, it’s a fascinating rabbit hole lol). He calls his music “black metal” but to me it sounds more like black metal vocals mixed with The Doors, 80s style hardcore punk, and I guess eastern European folk music? A lot of the themes seem to be about Greek mythology. It’s a wild ride lol
Here’s a track to sample: Sword of Dardanos
Anxiety Attack by Jeffrey Lewis, amazingly weird and underrated artist
