What are songs you've noticed with the most left-field/off-putting titles for chart hits?
Examples:
Napoleon XIV - "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" (#3 peak, 1966)
Deodato - "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)" (#2 peak, 1973)
The First Edition - "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" (#5 peak, 1968)
Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" (#4 peak, 1994)
Fall Out Boy - "Thnks fr th Mmrs" (#11 peak, 2007)

"Scars to Your Beautiful," Alessia Cara
"Beneath Your Beautiful," Labrinth
"I Like Me Better," by Lauv is kind of strange out of context.

Pretty much any song by a pop punk/emo band released in the mid-00s.
