Most unique/odd ball video game music?

Pretty simple. What game has some of the strangest (and possibly good?) music you have heard? It can be anything from just a really unusual choice for the game or genre, or have a really unique sound you haven't heard in other games before or since.

My pick would be Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. I don't think I've ever heard another game that had music quite like it.

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

Okay, here are my contributions:

Bio-Hazard Battle ( Stage 1 & 8 ):

This game's music is certainly unlike anything I've heard, considering the ambient/moody style and when it came out.

That title screen music from Gameboy Camera(and pretty much everything else in that game):

More to come!

Just posting this one as it's one of my favorites and I haven't really heard many video games have music in the same/similar manner as Capcom's Demento/Haunting Ground.

Regardless of how many times I listen to the soundtrack, I still notice more things about it. What I love, is that the majority of songs by Seiko Kobuchi on it were mainly made out of dialogue by the voice actors manipulated. Considering how the game is, it got quite a few people.

But the soundtrack is beautiful, especially Endless・・・DEMENTO and Endless Zero.

The whole soundtrack of Mario Strikers Charged for Wii. Insanely addictive and abnormally high production values for a Mario Sports game. The composers are relatively unknown in the gaming industry, but they experiment with a lot of genres in the game, leaning toward rock. The themes of the characters alone are immensely unique, but there are a lot of stand-out tracks playing in the arenas themselves, most notably this one:

I pick this stadium just for its music.

Here are some other cool tracks:

Somebody from OCR really, really, really needs to remix one of these tracks!

Gotta say the soundtrack to Sonic CD was different, I didn't expect this kind of music from sonic back in the day, also the intro was hella tight. I'm not sure on this, but doesn't japan have a different soundtrack than the US version?

Also, anything earthbound. Anything.

That's all I got for now, I may come up with more games later.

Wait just did:

Knuckles Chaotix

k done.

Edit:

Eff me, been on a super sonic hankerin.

This Sonic Rush song always made me laugh but I liked it.

Hearing "Too black, Too Strong" while flying through space when I first played this made me think "Yep that space out there is pretty black."

The Neverhood and/or SkullMonkeys.

and gta2 had a christian radio station, this was the funniest song on it:

"jesus my savior, my favorite flavor"

I'd love to hear that song arranged with better instruments/vocals. :)

Actually they did. And to boot, I found it with a terrible fan made tribute of Star Wars with the song. =)

Edit: Whoops forgot the link

Edit 2: Edit strikes back:

YES! Just remembered animal crossing radio!

Gotta say, my friend and I believe this to be the best song ever.

lmao @ DAYTOOOONAAAAAAAAA!!

urprised no one has mentioned Plok. I love the music in that game, but some of it was unnecessarily epic and other were just plain weird. (like have the

) And others still we cute and happy...when you were in a

and here's a link to the beach level cuz it's true one of the most epic video game songs EVAR (and unique due to a very odd ball time signature):

*I'm pretty sure the time signature to the beach level is 7/8 then a sudden change to 4/4 then a sweet ass guitar solo then 7/8 again. And I'm pretty sure I've never heard another vg song with a 7/8 time signature.
