What are some of the oddest songs to chart on the Billboard Hot 100? The reasons can range from odd lyrics to a strange sound to a comedic song.

Thotiana by blue face. He’s not even on beat and the song sounds unfinished

Anything by the Chainsmokers... except #SELFIE. On a serious note Baz Luhrmann Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen). As a child I didn't understand the appeal and as an adult I still don't have a clue.

"Dur dur d'être bébé!" by Jordy. A song in French charting in America is impressive enough, but when it's a dance beat over a 4 year old talking, it's mindblowing, especially before YouTube.

"Dur dur d'être bébé!" by Jordy. A song in French charting in America is impressive enough, but when it's a dance beat over a 4 year old talking, it's mindblowing, especially before YouTube. There was a half English/half French version on the U.S. edition of the single. It was a novelty at the time. I still have my cassette single of this. Jordy performed the song and promoted it on some of the U.S. daytime talk shows. We had to bring in French music that we listened to for my French class in high school and I brought this in and my teacher just got so irritated because she said that when she was living in French and it was new, this was everywhere. Thotiana by blue face. He’s not even on beat and the song sounds unfinished I think the novelty of Blueface rapping off-beat is why people like it. |

"Cups," Anna Kendrick... Top 10 hit!
It's also kind of strange a really great live acoustic cover of "Because the Night" made it all the way to #11.
