I only heard it once, and I don’t precisely recall it, but it was about a bunch of animals acting weird. I think it had a character called “rocky raccoon” in it, but it wasn’t the one with “Gideon’s Bible” that most have heard. I heard this song all of one time on some odd Country station on the AM band out of central Texas.
"If You Can't Live Without Me, then Why Ain't You Dead?"
"I Got Tears in My Ears From Lying On My Back Cryin' Over You"
Always LOVED “I’m going to hire myself a wino to decorate our home”.
I Want to Check You for Tics
Bing Bing Bing....that is the one I thought of as well.... Where’s the “Like” button on this thing?
C.W. McCall’s “Convoy” is a bit odd.
As is “Teddy Bear” by Red Sovine.
Do you remember "Cledus Maggard and his Citizen's Band?"
As is Teddy Bear by Red Sovine.
Teddy Bear is one of many tear-jerking narrations by Red Sovine.
Not a real big fan of country but I kinda like
Countin Flowers on the wall
“Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo”
Somehow it captures the particular mood I’m in at times.

These songs are weird or bad, it is just the performance of them that are weird. Listen to Johnny Cash’s renderings of:
“What’d I’d Say” (by Ray Charles)

“It Ain’t Me, Babe” (by the Turtles)

I love Johnny Cash, but there was a period in the early 70’s where he tried to do some music that just did NOT fit his style. The two songs I listed above are unbelievably bad. They are so bad that you can’t believe they ever made it onto one of his albums. June Carter also sings on them.
Chuck Wagon & the Wheels had a minor hit with “Disco Sucks” back in ‘79 or so. They had a whole string of peculiar comedy songs that would be candidates for your request. The most memorable is “The Gas Song”, with its refrain about “Let’s use the Ay-rabs to test the neutron bomb”. “My Girl Passed Out In Her Food” is a scream too.
And they put you back into prison.
...or the Geezinslaws

The Geezinslaws - Over The Rainbow
Written by a “jew”... Kinky Friedman and his band, the Texas Jewboys. A real jem. He ran for TX governor and lost.
How about “ My Wife Thinks You’re Dead” by Junior Brown?
It’s hard to kiss the lips that chew your ass out all day long. (This is a real song).
