WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?

Spirit in The Sky - Norman Greenbaum

Forgot all about Napoleon the 13. I'll add Hitchhiker Joe by The Rugburns

Number 9 (Beatles), though it's hardly even a song.

There are many more lyrical songs that after hearing just the first few notes, I can immediately recognize even if I have not heard them for many years.  Like the first 6 notes of Aqualung (Jethro Tull).  But if I were more knowledgeable, I bet one could come up with influences to show very few songs are all that unique.  They're all re-using the same musical scale and the same rather small set of musical instruments (which nevertheless can be re-combined in a virtually infinite number of ways.)  Otherwise it'd probably just be noise.  We seem to expect a balance of familiar and new.

Here's one that is both unique and intense. There is so much going on in this song once you think about the lyrics.....

Here's another one from one of the world's best guitarists who captured lessons from a street preacher....
