Seconded! That stuff about mother leopard is brilliantly nonsensical;
Relationship of Command is an amazing album.
This is a great topic idea. Going to have to think about it a bit
Make me Smile:
The Scarecrow by Circulus. Everything about Circulus makes me grin like an idiot (how can a cross between a rock band and some medieval troubadors not?), but a scarecrow setting himself alight when he sits down for a cigarette really takes the biscuit.
I Started A Joke (I Started An Orb Mix), by The Orb/Robbie Williams is brilliantly crazy, too.
Erection by The Faint. A great bit of electroclash with lyrics about unwanted erections(It's an orchard of beeches/Your wife in the shower/When you wait for appointment/As you walk through the park/Oh! Uh-oh! Erection!) delivered entirely seriously. Totally great. In fact, all of
Wet from Birth and
Danse Macabre (and its remix album in fact) are great.
Break my Heart:
Bliss by Muse. Always reminds me of a bit of a crush I had on a girl at college, and it's a wonderful lovesong. Kinda goosebumpy too.
Strange and Beautiful (I'll put a spell on you) by Aqualung works rather well, too - they're great live, by the way.
Otherwise by Morcheeba. A gorgeous, funny and heartbreaking song, with a fantastic video to match.
Woo Hoo!
Lots to choose from here.
Blue Monday is one of those totally-unable-to-suppress-urge-to-dance-like-an-idiot songs. I'd also include
Kick Muck by Ozric Tentacles in that category, specifically
Kick 98 (on Swirly Termination).
Devil's Haircut by Beck. More nonsensical lyrics!
Gives me Goosebumps:
A Perfect Circle's cover of
Imagine - much less preachy than Lennon
They do good things with
People are People too. In fact,
The Nurse Who Loved Me's hollyweird strangeness took me a few listens to appreciate, but I'm glad I got there
Exhausted by Foo Fighters. A staticy album closer of wonder.
The whole of
A Fine Day to Exit by Anathema. Vaguely a concept album about a suicide, and entirely beautiful.
Yesterday. 'nuff said.
Walking Shade by Billy Corgan. The rest of The Future Embrace is mostly heavily flawed, but it's worth it for this alone.
EDIT: Had to come back to add Marc Almond's version of
The Days of Pearley Spencer. *shudders*
Going to have to stop myself now - could rabbit on here for ages.
