I dare anyone to find a weirder version of “Hey Jude” than this one by Don Ellis.
It’s funky, wacky, uplifting at the end, and includes a 3 minute chaotic synth (or ring modulated trumpet?) intro, a long unaccompanied echoplex trumpet solo, and best of all at the 4:20 minute mark one verse done as an drunken brass band waltz.
