My tastes in music have always been eclectic, to say the least. I love Broadway, classic rock, indie music, pop music, slow and fast songs, dance songs and songs with lyrics that blow minds. These songs listed below are for the quirky, the funky, the not-quite-right, the bohemian, the syncopated beat lovers, the former goths who have found their groove in the strange. This is for misfits and miscreants. Enjoy some funky music this summer. I recommend listening to them in this order, as well.

1. "Settle Down" Kimbra

What's better than funky, indie music? Funky, indie music where gender roles are destroyed and Kimbra breaks down walls and worlds and opens doors for all of us.

2. "Concrete Wall" Zee Avi

This is a song where the background singing will be stuck in your head for days and you won't know why or how, but you'll be singing along with it by the 2nd or 3rd repeat. Addictingly good.

3. "Drop" Chloe x Halle

I was just recently introduced to this song while overhearing it at my local Starbucks. Sick song. Great sound. This duo is unstoppable.

4. "Elastic Heart" Sia

The music video was extremely controversial when it first came out, but the music itself is brilliant. Lots of strange beats, lots of melodies that are haunting and off-putting. Great for first dates with other funky music lovers.

5. "You Haunt Me" Sir Sly

This song had me with the lyrics "whisky and wine." This is a perfect funky drinking song or casual chill song. Or writing poetry song while sipping a beverage of choice.

6. "Lyla" Cocorosie

Cocorosie is one of those groups that it was hard to just pick one song. "Lyla" is brilliant. But so is "Terrible Angels" and "Candyland" and "Lemonade." All of these songs are a little funky, a little different, in their own ways. Just listen to all things Cocorosie and you'll be happy.

7. "Little Game" Benny

This is the ultimate gender role discussion through music. With the mixture of paints in the music video to the lyrics, this song makes all funky music lovers pay attention.

8. "Stressed Out" Twenty One Pilots

This is the ideal funky song for end of finals week. We are all Blurryface. We are all just a little "stressed out." Definitely a must listen for young adults facing growing pains.

9. "Special Needs" Placebo

From the album, "Sleeping with Ghosts," this song leaves the listener a little unnerved, which is definitely part of its appeal. This is for any young adults who have lost and learned how to cope.

10. "So Broken" Björk

While definitely a softer song, there is a creepy feeling that the song leaves with the listener. The funky background beat only adds to the effect. The video included above is from "So You Think You Can Dance" with a piece choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.
