This song is a tricky one, to say the least! 😅😄 It's a comparison of consumerism to cheap, meaningless sex using fairly explicit food metaphors. The quotes about beer at the end of this song are samples of Dennis Hopper lines as his character Frank Booth in the 1986 David Lynch film, Blue Velvet. Why they'd chosen to use it, I have no idea, but I'm sure that they've expected many people to analyze their decision, over the years. Mr. Bungle had released this song in 1991 as the third track on their debut album, Mr. Bungle, and its main purpose from a songwriting standpoint had been to give Mike Patton the absolute most ridiculous lyrics possible to sing while highlighting his vocal range. Mr. Bungle had been signed to Warner Brothers Records in 1990, due to Mike's success as a member of Faith No More, though Mr. Bungle has existed since 1985, and they'd released four demos prior to this record. Mr. Bungle's members on this song are: Vlad Drac, aka Mike Patton - vocals, keyboards Scummy, aka Trey Spruance - guitar, keyboards Trevor Roy Dunnn, aka Trevor Dunn - bass guitar Bär, aka Clinton McKinnon - tenor saxophone Theobald Brooks Lengyel, aka Theo - alto saxophone, baritone saxophone Heifetz, aka Danny Heifetz - drums This album Mr. Bungle had been produced by a man named John Zorn along with Mr. Bungle's band members, and Mike had later worked with John on a lot of their respective solo albums, in a bunch of different styles of music. The album had been mastered by Bob Ludwig, who has mastered albums from a ton of artists over his many decades of life so far, including Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, U2, Queen, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Nirvana, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Elton John, Janet Jackson, The Police, Radiohead, Megadeth, Tool, and so on. Eventually, Mr. Bungle had found its way into the hands of M. Shadows, The Rev, and Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold, inspiring them to spice modern music up through their artistic expression, and it's been one of their favorite albums ever since, along with Mr. Bungle's follow-up albums, Disco Volante and California. It's wild, it's fun, and it's entirely unorthodox. It's one of the several peaks of outrageously fun goblin metal, for many listeners. This song is considered to be avant-garde metal, with elements of rap, funk, jazz, thrash metal, death metal, hardcore punk, hip-hop, classical, and carnival music. There's no other song out there like it, I believe. Thank you for reacting to this song! I'm glad that you enjoy it! 😃😄 (I've got no ideas yet for which Mike Patton track I'll have you listen to next, or by which band of his, but I'll figure it out at some point and I'll let you know. Please keep it up with the incredible work, Randi!)

This song is straight up, over the top!! I play bass (as well as other instruments), and learned from bands like this. This is SOOO much fun to play!!

I'm very proud of you for sitting through that so well. 😂 This came out when I was in college, and I was OBSESSED with Trevor Dunn's bass playing.

This is a completely unrelated fact to this song itself, but back when Mr. Bungle had released their self-titled album, everyone who had bought it had received an exclusive bottle of Mr. Bungle Bubble Bath. Their marketing for it had been oddly fitting, in my opinion. 😄

Your expression on your face!! XD lmao I’m like the same and I’m also cracking up 🤣

Love the sweet sampling at the end of Dennis Hopper from "Blue Velvet." A wonderful film by David Lynch.

More Bungle

It's bonkers but it's a love letter to loving all kinds of food,in a crazy,party atmosphere that only Mr Bungle can do!🎙️🎶🎉😆

Your reaction to this was amazing! 😂 I'd heard this before but had not thought of this in a long time. This is the perfect thing for a hard day. Just seeing your facial expressions at various points would instantly put anyone in a good mood! Thanks Randi!

The word you're looking for is Funky.

This song is so much fun!

they did no drugs making this album lol they are creative and crazy. this is what coffee sounds like many band members would binge coffee though during this album

Listeners don't forget to listen deeply in this song and throughout the whole album or a lot of video game sounds as well as a lot of pinball games sounds us older folks really appreciate it. 😁👍

Genre.... funk punk ska metal circus music... And then some.

Oh boy !!!! Eskimo call boy meets Frank Zappa in a rude food outlet. I laughed, was embarrassed, and kind of out of my depth hearing this. And I only picked up about a third of the lyrics. Totally loved all the leap, twists, stops, and plops and drops in the music. I could easily believe the music was a modern soundtrack to a Keystone Cops episode. I don't think I'll introduce it to my grandkids any time soon. That's me done for now. Keep well people. TTFN.

mr.bungle is the uncensored version of faith no more more wacky and taboo and more creative. i love faith no more but in terms of creativitiy bungle is on another level.

Hi Randi, it's been a while hope all is good with you and your family, Mr. Bungle one of my favourite bands, your reaction was great, if you're into tunes with odd structures, crazy chord progressions with unexpected key or tempo changes and instruments that usually don't belong together plus lyrics that are masterfully written then check out Frank Zappa, either Bobby Brown Went Down or Don't Eat The Yellow Snow/Cosmic Debris, until next time peace and love to you Sister ✌️❤️🇨🇮

At 1.38, my personal answer and most basic to the question is ‘acid jazz/funk on acid😂 heard this first time as a 15 yr old, fairly baked-one of the most magical musical moments of my life…not joking-Mike Patton is beyond genius imo and in Bungle form, some of the most original you’ll ever hear! Enjoy! The whole album is incredible 😍

I applaud you for getting through it, most people wouldn't be able to. Bravo!

Lyrics were written in High School explains a lot

Mike Patton meets Gilbert and Sullivan, who wrote in their operetta "Ruddigore": "This particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn`t generally and if is it doesn`t matter."

More Mr. Bungle reactions

The word is FUNK👍🏻😎🤪

😅buenos tiempos!!

It's just insane - for the simple fact of being insane lol

Her reaction 😭

Her face when squeeze me part comes up 😂😂

Nooooow this is the kind of Mr Bungle reaction I've been craving for! hahahahha :D

When i was 15 and getting high was cool, we used to listen to this song and its album non stop. Very intense experience at the time. Felt my head was being blown off in all kinds of ways

Squeeze me macaroni

Did this gal just drop a psycho stick reference on a mr bungle video review? I’m in love!!

I think I may get the "potty down your throat" line...... Context?

Hahahaha, I've tried to introduce a few friends to Mr Bungle, you handled it better than most. (all actually)

Here is a trick question. Who is Mr. Bungle? Hint: a person closely associated with him just passed away recently.

Its very romantic

They were great live back then

That bass is slappin!! Reminds me of old Chilli peppers..

Obviously musicianship is off the damn charts, too much talent in one album

Sex and Food is how I would describe this one lol.

While sounding very misogynistic, I have done this. I do not like porn, but I have used colorful language to make fun of (not the performers) porn. More precisely the audience of porn. Don't kill the messanger...

Your reaction is the correct one

Trevor Dunn on bass, he's damn good

This is my jam. Wanna know the difference between jam and jelly?

You should kept it going.. Right at the end there's the sound of a guy taking a huge shit into a toilet with some weird news audition tape from the 60's over it. lol

Pretty sure it's mostly about food (fetish or addiction ... Or food fetish addiction)

Lame
