Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I’m slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!
This is hilarious, i love it. My favorite Jonathan Coulton song is Sticking It to Myself.
Excellent choice. I was going to go with Future Soon by Coulton.
That one is great!
I keep mis-remembering one line as “I’m not unreasonable, I mean at some point you’re gonna hafta die”
Yine, by Kurban (Turkish band) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edxm5-boYGA&pp=ygULeWluZSBrdXJiYW4%3D
Hell yeah, can’t go wrong with hard rock.
I have a number of songs on my playlists in different languages that i dont unserstand and it’s interesting how it shifts the focus away from lyrics and toward the interaction between the vocals and the instruments. The voice is another instrument, after all.This song just slaps, that’s why I like it. Fun to play on guitar, too!
I don’t know how obscure this is because it was on the Skate 3 soundtrack. However, I’ve never met a person that knew the song, and it’s not on any music streaming services, so I think it’s a little obscure.
Burrito Mojado, the Fabulous Hedgehogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqfanMci3-A&t=0
This is hilarious, i love songs that are silly and fun while still being good.
Glad you like it. They made two albums, both pretty goofy. The main guy ended up in Vegas. Did some interesting stuff.
Been following this band for a while now and every now and again they release a banger.
They never draw huge numbers which doesn’t make sense to me given their songs.
This fucks.

I like how simple this song is musically while converting multiple things behind the lyrics.
A great one for your Halloween playlists is “The Crazy” by The Children MacNuggits.
But if you want even more obscure, a college friend of mine started a homebrew record label and got every band on campus to submit their best track for a compilation… and then he did it five more times
Twenty years later, I still listen to some of these songs daily, but especially: (warning, these are download links, not streaming)
Cold Heaven - “Eurydice”
The Heavy Pets - “(A Dragon’s Just) A Dinosaur in Drag”
Zinc Finger and the Major Groove - “Too Much of a Girl”
The Passerines - “Young”
Probably not obscure per se, as it is the main theme of Raziel and Kain’s conflict in Soul Reaver, but Ozar Midrashim - Information Society, is one piece that I deeply enjoy.
There’s a metal cover of the game’s music, “Between the Zones”, with Wasteland Midrashim and Forgotten Lament being some I enjoy a lot.
Bo Burnham - Welcome to the Internet

You can thank
meBo later.With 145M views and like thousands of variations I wouldn’t call this obscure. Great song, but not obscure.
LOL, fair enough I guess. 🤷♂️
I’ve never heard this before, Bo sure does know how to send a message.
I’m also learning this is where the piano and laughing meme came from. lol
My favourite “obscure” artist right now is a Vancouver band called Slightest Clue. Post/Punk alternative group.
This is good, big fan. I like the changes in intensity throughout the song.
They have two EPs right now and I’m quite a fan of both. If you liked that one, definitely check out the rest of their discography
Decapitated Camels by Simon Swerwer
This is actually two guitars having a conversation. lol
It’s interesting that the phrase-end motif has two different rhythm variations throughout the song. I wonder what that symbolizes.IIRC, it was written for Dwarf Fortress so it might just actually symbolize camels fighting in a desert and getting decapitated. lol
Kind of well-known these days, but also obscure as we literally don’t know who made it or even what it’s called: “The most mysterious song on the internet”
Transmissor - Janela
Oh i like this. I have no idea what it’s about but it gives me nostalgia/reminiscing vibes. Definitely a head nodder! Also i appreciate how much variety there is even being a short song.
I messaged them and told them it should be much longer, they appreciated the comment and that they were proud of the record. The album is great. This song in particular can make me cry if I listen to it enough.
