where did that come from?

I wanted to start a new topic about this: I have one of those internet radio stations on right now and they are playing a Doors song. Name of the song (or at least the words in the chorus) is Follow Me Down. Now, I love the Doors, but this song is, well, UNUSUAL for the Doors (hate to say cheesy and bad, but OK it is...)
Question: What one song by a band you admire is UNUSUAL for that band? Not bad necessarily, just one that makes you say "where did that come from?"

It's Am I Going Insane. And yeah, it's not much of a jam song. It's said that it's one of the 2 only songs that Ozzy wrote for the band (other being "Who Are You"), so what's that tell ya?

On the same album, Supertzar is pretty weird for them.

Another, is "Round and Down" by Steppenwolf, it's like a country music parody. (there's lots of obscure Steppenwolf material from their heyday, before 1973, that is quite good)

hehheh.. I thought of that after I posted about the Steppenwolf country music parody.

Zeppelin did other parodies; D'yer Mak'r, a.k.a. "Jamaica", or "Jermaker", was a raggae parody that actually became a hit. And on the same album, The Crunge was a parody of James Brown.

Has anybody seen the bridge?

where's the confounded bridge?

HaHa, and Hot Dog was one I thought of too, nothing like a british blues band doing country swing, huh?

Here's another one: Comin Back To Me - Jefferson Airplane
Gorgeous song, but doesn't seem like JA except for Marty Balin's voice.
Another one: Maggot Brain - Funkadelic
