So I was sitting here tranquilly browsing the internet when suddenly it hit me. Weird Song Wednesday. I had forgotten about Weird Song Wednesday. So here's your first weird song- a cover of the Misfits' "Where Eagles Dare" by Of Montreal. The Misfits are an 80s punk band whose songs have lyrics based on horror B-movies and always sound like they were recorded in someone's garage full of junk. Of Montreal, a psychedelic indie band, took probably their most well-known song and made it from a raw, slightly ominous punk song into a jaunty little keyboard-and-drum-machine ditty. I love it so much. You can actually understand Kevin Barnes, which only highlights how ridiculous the lyrics are. Also it's just hilarious to hear a horror punk song sounding so upbeat on a cheesy toy-sounding keyboard.
