That would be not on my favorite songs but on my second favorite songs.

Cannot think of a name wrote:The short answer is Jazz.
The long answer is long. I studied music formally without ever becoming good at it (because I didn't practice, gotta practice kids) so I like a lot of weird shit I was exposed to. Big advocate of weird shit. Modern compositions, free jazz and free jazz adjacent stuff. Music where someone just rewired an old synthesizer into a metal mask sculpture.
I also like incredibly simple and goofy stuff. I like Ska, pretty fond of bands like Perfect Thyroid and Skankin' Pickle. Fishbone. Not as big a fan of the ska bands that broke through like Sublime, Reel Big Fish, or Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Also tend to only like first wave original Jamaican ska (The Skatalites, early Marley) and third wave California/west coast Ska. For some reason 80s British ska...not that interesting to me. Can't really get into the English Beat etc. Specials hit or miss. Madness is cool.
I like a bunch of odd bands with super odd lyrics but are still fairly mainstream all things considered. They Might be Giants, Soul Coughing, Austin Lounge Lizards. There's probably a world where I like The Pet Shop Boys but it's not this one. I don't hate them, just...they're a 'friend's band' That band that you're not particularly into but your friend is so you know more about them than you would normally and you don't hate them, you just never listen to them on your own much. Same with David Byrne/Talking Heads. Different friend, same deal.
There's a one hit wonder that like most one hit wonders their one hit isn't really indicative of what the band actually is all about that I'm super into, I was before their hit and remain a fan today. The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Mostly known these days for their questionable name. And for being the end of the momentary rise of swing in the 90s.
I was given a Pink Floyd album (Dark Side of the Moon natch) at the right time, so...them.
Bunch of other stuff.

That took a sharp turn. Usually when someone talks about jazz and rock it's something like Chicago when they were still the Chicago Transit Authority or Blood, Sweat, and Tears...or maybe that time that Sting recruited members of the Branford Marsalis quartet to be his band only to have them mock him with The Flintstones (something jazz people know because it uses the chord changes to I Got Rhythm colloquially known as 'Rhythm changes' because of how many pieces use them). Or jam bands that often have jazz artists as guest performers, like David Murray of the World Saxophone Quartet playing with the Grateful Dead.
I had a mysterious Steely Dan single when I was a kid that I don't know how it arrived in my room. I assume my uncle because my parents were not very hip and weren't likely to even know about a band named after a dildo in a William S Burroughs book. But I never really formed an attachment to them. I think the most attention I paid was when they used Dirty Work in a trailer for James Gunn's Suicide Squad.

They are classified mostly as Jazz Rock fusion or "Yacht Rock" because of Aja. They use a different set of session musicians for each album so each one has a different flavor. I do like Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and such, but Steely Dan is a strange fusion that scratches a special itch for me.

Edit: Oh yeah also things like Frank Zappa who I guess counts as freak out jazz or rock jazz. His music is complex and strange

Ever checked out the Mahavishnu Orchestra?
Of course you may have already gone to the source of fusion with Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. I have a particular fondness for Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. If you need your walk to feel cool, though, there's always room for Fat Mama I didn't name it, but it is very groovy. A little on the Vince Guaraldi...you can imagine Snoopy getting up to shenanigans to this. Wrong cartoon, though. This is from Fat Albert. Another groovy walking piece from Herbie Hancock and Bobby McFerrin. You fuckin' heard me. Before Don't Worry Be Happy he'd just do these weird improvised vocals without the multi tracking. Or words.
With a little of the edge sanded off but not too much there's always Weather Report.
I tend to only dig Frank Zappa if there are no lyrics. When I push the slider more towards rock on the rock/jazz spectrum it tends to be Funkadelic
Branford Marsalis did a bit of a hip hop/jazz fusion in the 90s that the suggested videos reminded me of with a band called Buckshot LeFunque. I saw them I think at Filmore, might have been Great American Music Hall.
There's a twofer in a collaboration between Medeski Martin & Wood and Sex Mob doing groovy covers of James Bond themes. Or Sex Mob doing a Nirvana song. This will become a theme.
There's also Charlie Hunter doing light jazz versions of Nirvana but mostly I like the names of his pieces, like Running in Fear from Imaginary Assailants or Mitch Better Have My Bunny

Wow MAGGOT BRAIN!
I love that album! I have heard the Weather Report a few times, but it has been a hot minute. You really know your stuff
