10 Weirdest Songs By Legendary Artists

10. Aluminum - The White Stripes

The core foundation behind every White Stripes song is getting rock and roll back to its roots. Since it was only Jack and Meg White making noise in a room, you had to do something a little bit more than just play the song to bring some attitude back into rock and roll, and White Blood Cells certainly gave us our fair share of bangers. Stuck right between songs like Fell In Love With a Girl, Aluminum feels like the kind of blues that Captain Beefheart would have been proud to call his own.

Although Jack does sing on this song in some capacity, you can practically call this an instrumental, with half of the track being driven by Meg's drum beat and the sound of Jack slowly working his way down the lowest strings of his guitar. There isn't much here that constitutes a song structure or anything like that, especially when Jack comes in scat singing, which just adds another layer of craziness halfway through the track.

Since the band had started to work in a real studio instead of Jack's living room at this point, this feels like the product of them working with the new facilities and seeing what happens, with the filter on Jack's voice making it sound more like a stock sound effect rather than anything actually human. The studio may have gotten a little bit nicer, but this was still the same band that was born in a garage, looking to cause chaos wherever they went.
