What do you guys think is the most unusual song to ever top the Pop chart? Was it a weird song that made it to the top, or was it just a song you couldn't believe got to # 1?
My vote for the oddest Pop # 1 ever goes to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall".

Most novelty songs would apply ("Disco Duck", "Convoy", "Kung Fu Fighting", "The Streak")...
One song that I loved that I was still shocked was able to climb to #1 in Billboard was the Stars On 45 medley in 1981.

The Singing Nun hit #1 in the 60's with "Dominique. That's gotta be it for me.

Well, in the Mike Era of 1994-present, I'd have to say Ricky Martin and Lou Bega.

As far as the Hot 100 goes, I'd say any of the instrumentals especially those like "Fingertips" and "Frankenstein".

Back years ago, I would say "In the Year 2525" by Zager & Evans (1969) and "My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry (1972).
More recently, going by Billboard's Hot 100, I would say "Lately" by Divine was a total shocker to get to #1 in 1998.
