Wierd, Silly, Rude: Rock Revival's Top 20 Quirky Songs

Love them or hate them, there have always been quirky songs in rock

From the incomprehensible avant-garge silliness of Captain Beefheart to the plain silly Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

From almost the entire catalogues of Frank Zappa to the one hit wonders of Ivor Bigun
