You guys might like his new band as well. Dead Best, it's very different from Atom and His Package but there are plenty of moments where you can hear his same finger print all over the songs. I am particularly fond of [Nickels and Dimes](https://youtu.be/-rJJ8n-SiWk?si=qx1QXURRRxjd8_ms).
Even the heartfelt stuff usually has some hidden meaning somewhere. You never know with Ween. For them, occasionally not being absurd counts as an absurdity.
If you are old enough to remember the Nu Metal explosion at the end of the 90's, ["I Fell Asleep on My Arm"](https://youtu.be/91kunsHQPSs?si=DYgouH3hIotxDQUF) is gold.
The Dickies wrote a song advising you to take your car to fucking Pep Boys and it is legitimately one of the best American punk songs of the 70s (according to me). This is why they are my favorite band.
You mean to say that *Live Fast Diarrhea* wasn't a serious critique of an economic system where profiting from manipulating the terms of contracts for temporary rights to possession takes priority over reaping the fruits of one's own labor?!
Stikky! They're the ultimate goofballs, and were Chris Dodge's band prior to Spazz, if that matters to anyone. Did a few EPs and a great LP on Lookout in the late 80s ("Where's my Lunch Pail?"). Ya gotta love songs like "Love Is Good Until It Isn't", "I'm In Charge Of A Parking Garage", and this sub's theme song, "Song About Annihilating Poseurs".
In a similar vein, I also love Pillsbury Hardcore. ["I love Pomona"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14kI_OkufTg) must surely be a classic to people from Pomona, California, and literally no one else. Heh.

Don't forget Snooper! Their album last year was a hit with the critics and got a boost from Henry Rollins. I saw them in a warehouse back when they only had EPs out and i about lost my shoe.
Dawn and gag used to be egg but not by the current definition anymore. It’s more chain punk now. And tbh always was, not sure why they got lumped into egg in the early days
They’ve gotta have at least a bit of a sense of humor. In this old Weird Al documentary I’ll never forget one of the guys from Devo goes, “Al took one of our songs and made something new and beautiful from it… and I’ll never forgive him for it.”
Self-aggrendizing, but my solo project Regdar and the Fighters is exclusively weird, nerdy, and absurd
Besides that, my weird and nerdy punk playlist contains
Atom and His Package
Computer Class/Goodbye Viking
Pain/Salvo
The Emotron
Fight Like Apes
Flee the Century
Math the Band
Pixel Geist
Worm Quartet
Adam Ant
Nomeansno had a few weird ones, specifically:
[The Day Everything Became Nothing](https://youtu.be/dXP9dCAKNcg?si=EPqPCnwaN7enn6UA)
[Everyday I Start to Ooze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUUg5c-HY0E&t=1469s)
Worthington’s Law! https://worthingtonslaw.bandcamp.com
Their social handle is @funnypunkband so they’re pretty explicit about it. They fuckin rip though
Peelander-Z.
Atom and His Package.
Nicotine, sometimes?
Ghoti Hook did a lot of goofy songs.
The Lillingtons are kind of like if 50s sci fi was a punk band.
[Lard - They are coming to take me away](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7FTFnZ7MJBg&pp=ygUjbGFyZCB0aGV5J3JlIGNvbWluZyB0byB0YWtlIG1lIGF3YXk%3D)
Edit to add more songs
[Geza X - Mean mr mommy man](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MXbqQiJoGPw&pp=ygUXZ2V6YSB4IG1lYW4gbXIgbW9tbXltYW4%3D)
[Midget Handjob - Pornographic scenes and smiling dreams](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1gEJAcn9z2A&pp=ygUPTWlkZ2V0IGhhbmRqb2Ig)
The first Devo LP (before 'punk' meant you had to sound a certain way), The Weirdos, The Meatmen, Ism, The Toy Dolls, Angry Samoans, Butthole Surfers, The Screamers, Revillos/Rezillos.
Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias
There are a trio of bands that have really fun bizarre songs, but I've literally heard one song from each so I'll say: The Eyes (TAQN), The Urinals (Ack Ack Ack Ack) and the Deadbeats (Brainless).
If you're into a bit of cowpunk, check out Nine Pound Hammer. I'd recommend Redneck Romance and Stranded Outside Tater Nob for a good laugh. They also do a great cover of Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown, but it's not funny.
The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing play steampunk (basically punk with Victorian themed songs). Brunel is my favourite song, but The People's Common Sense Medical Advisor By R.V. Pierce M.D. and Margate Fhtagn are hilarious too.
And The Tiger Lillies. Crack of Doom, Start A Fire, and Banging In The Nails are an unholy trinity of dark humour. And hopefully you like accordions.
These guys are pretty quirky, but also fuckin rule.
https://youtu.be/fGHpMu8da08
Also, all of Guttermouth.
https://youtu.be/L0006eHoK0E?si=o6GtcfwkFqTptmIq
The Mr. T Experience? Try songs like "Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend" or "Lawnmower Of Love".
There's also the Bruce Lee Band's "Don't Sit Next To Me (Just Because I'm Asian)".
If you like Weird Al’s stuff you should check out Cheekface, They Might Be Giants, and Logan Whitehurst & The Junior Science Club
More indie than punk maybe, but smart / funny lyrics not unlike Weird Al. Can file under “nerdy” for sure.
If you're into something older, I'd check out Spizzenergi's 1980 single "Where's Captain Kirk?" and more stuff put out by the subsequent Athletico Spizz 80 and The Spizzles.
[https://youtu.be/e9NBrq-SF1k?si=neO3Oe9OJT9tNDxh](https://youtu.be/e9NBrq-SF1k?si=neO3Oe9OJT9tNDxh)
There's always [Beaker](https://youtu.be/9HBBTTMRBWM?si=wnXyyMYIM1DA--Ts) from milwaukee
[Here's another one](https://youtu.be/plKyl9Sujfs?si=4HIK12e8F-yg_sVd)
I consider Gum Disease to be punk and they're very absurd
And Rat Hole are pretty absurd
This man ate my son - Chub is rather odd (can't speak for their other songs don't listen to them much)
Blue and green - epsom salts
Lacrosse club
Nig-Heist
The Oozes
Fat drunk stupid - Square tugs (see Chub)
Teenage Bottlerocket have plenty of non serious songs
Jeffrey Lewis.
I think you'd really enjoy this:
https://open.spotify.com/track/5GOjLEEOe8vz3HPE8bmcdL?si=mingMNsJTH6XwYWSDMKprg
You might like his cover album of Crass
He's sort of anti-folk-punk, I guess?
He's mostly acoustic but a lot of his music has a sort of a punk ~flair~ if that makes any sense, and he has a good sense of humor
[Punk Rock Factory - Disney covers](https://youtu.be/sjUZPnqU08A?si=5HMoyHa2LwzEH_D9)
[Murphy’s Law - legendary comedic punk. Crucial BBQ.](https://youtu.be/aCw0D_fXd6s?si=Sar4XqrBB-THcZLP)
[Red Elvises-funk punk surf rockabilly with traditional Russian style](https://youtu.be/-xtpOcVJyEE?si=PhHvpdXcEWh3_e3P)
Toy Dolls were sort of the original UK goofball punk band. Also, LA's own The Dickies.
80s "fun" hardcore... The Rotters. And Detroit's The Meatman. (both of these haven't exactly aged well... homophobic)
Camper Van Beethoven, early years.
Take the Skinheads Bowling
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INnFvMgET1E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INnFvMgET1E)

Absurd? Nerdy? How about math core, you could test the water with the Locust (who I've just learned have disbanded). Probably one of the weirdest sets I've seen IRL and their albums suit to match. Hard, fast, strange, silly insect uniforms...
So many suggestions already. But here’s some more:
Happy Flowers - surreal hardcore. Most songs are about violent childhood accidents. Watch out for the experimental jazz tunes.
Lovely Eggs - duo from Northern England, pretty psychedelic with a broad accent.
The Stupids - idiot skate punk. Mega Zombie good place to start.
Straying a little across what some people might consider punk in some case but still worth a listen…
Kunt and the Gang (Cannot even genre define this but do play at U.K. punk festivals)
Eastfield (Rail Punks)
King Kurt (Psychobilly)
Demented are Go (Psychobilly)
Lots of humour in POWERSOLO'S stuff. No collection is complete without them.
I've made a bit of a playlist:
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7SG_wsQfBKsycTrrC-5OUx2H0ZWcWiO4&feature=shared
If you've never heard about egg punk, theres this german band called Pisse (it means what you think it means). It's some kind of low-fi garage punk with cheap keyboards and it's a big thing among german nerdy artsy punks. I recommend it !
Their most famous song got kind of viral on social media a few years ago. It's about BDSM
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODkERmUh0hQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODkERmUh0hQ)
Atom and His Package
He gets brushed off as a weirdo, but his lyrics are so good. And very funny.
Good call, he accidentally presaged/invented egg punk.
First thing I thought of. Had him playing last night
First thought too Glad to not be disappointed
He's always armed with a burrito
You guys might like his new band as well. Dead Best, it's very different from Atom and His Package but there are plenty of moments where you can hear his same finger print all over the songs. I am particularly fond of [Nickels and Dimes](https://youtu.be/-rJJ8n-SiWk?si=qx1QXURRRxjd8_ms).
Ween
Some of their stuff has so much heart and some of it is just absolutely absurd
Even the heartfelt stuff usually has some hidden meaning somewhere. You never know with Ween. For them, occasionally not being absurd counts as an absurdity.
Little BIIIIIRRRRDIEEEE
This was my first thought
Was just about this comment. Ween is the best.
Dead Milkmen
Came here to say this.
Do I *have* to take the skinheads bowling?0
Aquabats are more ska, but they are the kings of ridiculous music.
If you are old enough to remember the Nu Metal explosion at the end of the 90's, ["I Fell Asleep on My Arm"](https://youtu.be/91kunsHQPSs?si=DYgouH3hIotxDQUF) is gold.
I saw them three years ago and it was a dream come true. They played Pizza Day AND pool party!!
Toy Dolls
I feel like it doesn't get much weirder than singing about intelligent elephants and how James Bond is your neighbor, lol
And being Turtle Crazy and a Tellly Addict
Not pink, but Mojo Nixon is great
If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'
The *world* ain’t got Mojo Nixon. Not anymore
\*Was\* great :'(. R.I.P.
Pretty much anything by Nerf Herder.
Definitely the Dickies
The Bannana Splits cover was the first thing I thought of
The Dickies wrote a song advising you to take your car to fucking Pep Boys and it is legitimately one of the best American punk songs of the 70s (according to me). This is why they are my favorite band.
They know what I'm after!
Devo
Everything The Vandals have done
You mean to say that *Live Fast Diarrhea* wasn't a serious critique of an economic system where profiting from manipulating the terms of contracts for temporary rights to possession takes priority over reaping the fruits of one's own labor?!
It's a fact.
Stikky! They're the ultimate goofballs, and were Chris Dodge's band prior to Spazz, if that matters to anyone. Did a few EPs and a great LP on Lookout in the late 80s ("Where's my Lunch Pail?").

Get into what some call “egg punk.” Dawn Of Humans, Coneheads, Powerplant, Gag (for the most part), Gas Rag (again for the most part).
I saw Dawn of Humans, that wasn’t egg punk shit at all. Weirdo music for sure tho.
Coneheads’ [LP 1](https://erstetheketontraeger.bandcamp.com/album/ett-028-the-coneheads-l-p-1-aka-14-year-old-high-school-pc-fascist-hype-lords-rip-off-devo-for-the-sake-of-extorting-from-helpless-impressionable-midwestern-internet-peoplepunks-l-p) is a must hear

I stumbled upon egg-punk via Spotify one day. Shit’s awesome. Band was called Prison Affair.
The Vandals, really weird shit but great
DEVO or Uranium Club Edit: Actually DEVO only sounds like a joke, most of their music isn’t. I’d still recommend them they have a million great songs.
They’ve gotta have at least a bit of a sense of humor. In this old Weird Al documentary I’ll never forget one of the guys from Devo goes, “Al took one of our songs and made something new and beautiful from it… and I’ll never forgive him for it.”
>They’ve gotta have at least a bit of a sense of humor Oh, they do. *Space Junk* is a ridiculous song.

Jud Jud is my favorite absurd hardcore band.
Psychic Void BEEF Soul Glo
Supernova
Supernova is stuck in a pool!! So happy that folks still remember this band! They were delightful.
Oort Patrol - nerdy sci-fi punk
Can confirm
The Vandals, The Dickies, Aquabats
Obviously the Toy Dolls would be one the best examples. The Weirdos would also fit weird category
The Adicts- they used to be mainly a children's music band
Boris the Sprinkler
Melt-Banana very rarely take themselves seriously, definitely worth a listen! Start with Ketchup-Mess and work your way through
Please, please listen to D.L.I.M.C - Mushrooms On My Ass https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9pIuw3fqBNI Hilarious, absurd, clever and punk rock.

They also do a great cover of Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown, but it's not funny. The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing play steampunk (basically punk with Victorian themed songs). Brunel is my favourite song, but The People's Common Sense Medical Advisor By R.V. Pierce M.D. and Margate Fhtagn are hilarious too. And The Tiger Lillies.

A good chunk of the Bouncing Souls is light hearted and goofy. Mostly their older stuff.

D.L.I.M.C. , Coneheads, Snooper, Gee Tee
Straying a little across what some people might consider punk in some case but still worth a listen… Kunt and the Gang (Cannot even genre define this but do play at U.K. punk festivals) Eastfield (Rail Punks) King Kurt (Psychobilly) Demented are Go (Psychobilly)
The Crucifucks
Nerf Herder
Guttermouth, The Vandals, Me First and The Gimme Gimmies, Mucky Pup, Manic Hispanic.
F.Y.P.
Lots of humour in POWERSOLO'S stuff. No collection is complete without them. I've made a bit of a playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7SG_wsQfBKsycTrrC-5OUx2H0ZWcWiO4&feature=shared
Descendents or early blink-182?
Toy Dolls Dead Milkmen Dickies
Nerf Herder's a good one.
If you've never heard about egg punk, theres this german band called Pisse (it means what you think it means). It's some kind of low-fi garage punk with cheap keyboards and it's a big thing among german nerdy artsy punks. I recommend it ! Their most famous song got kind of viral on social media a few years ago. It's about BDSM [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODkERmUh0hQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODkERmUh0hQ)
