Jesus Was Way Cool by King Missile.

Shit, I'm not even sure you can classify it as a song, really. There's music and words, but the words are just spoken and it's just a guy giving mad props to Jesus Christ. But it's like a surfer, grunge kinda dude so it sounds sarcastic AF.

But also Ween. So much Ween. They have maybe 2 or 3 albums of somewhat regular music, and then 5 times more just the most bizarre, drug induced aural hallucinations imaginable. I love 'em.

Oh and I can't forget Daniel Johnston; a song writer with schizophrenia that afaik only released his work as bespoke, custom cassettes for people so there are like thousands of different versions of the same songs because he just played them from memory. The songs themselves are pretty gnarly, too.
