Great playlist! "El Condor Pasa" by Yma Sumac is one of the weirdest songs I ever heard. It reminds me a version of "Child In Time" played like it was a gregorian chant.
Ha! That Pete Drake song has an even creepier video. I read about it over at Boing Boing a while ago. But it's really sweet to see the first talking guitar... way before Peter you know who. ;-)
I was trying to find the actual performance, but only found this because the original video "violated" the terms of use... booo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Ac2eGQr_8
