This is one of the best rock bands of all time. Seen them live multiple times. They are unique, like primus.

Priceless
Mike Patton and crew were maniacs but also intelligent. And unlike progressive rock bands they didn’t take themselves seriously
They certainly don't seem to. And I have to say...from my experience, a lot of the prog artists don't actually take themselves terribly seriously, either. Their music perhaps, and it varies from individual to individual, but I hear what you're saying!
@@BleedingEdgeProg Dream Theatre and Queensrychebsure does. lol. Genesis back in the 70’s were pretty laid back and funny lyrically as was Zappa and Gentle Giant. I think the main ingredient with Bungle was the underground avant jazz scene and old movie scores which flowed in and out of the songs too that with incredibly insane lyrics… not cheesy though, the Bungle Copycats only have them as an influence. They’re missing the ingredients. I think 100 years from now Disco Volante will be hailed as one of the greatest albums ever made
What's crazy is they weren't that damn far from 12. The were high schoolers. Which is wild if you look at the sheer musicality and complexity. It's easy for a lot of people to miss because they are thrown off by the juvenile craziness of he lyrics and skits. But they switch time signatures all the time. Blend genres in super unique ways. You caught it but I've seen a lot of people get thrown off and miss it.
That's a really good point! I had lost track in my head of what their ages must have been at this point. Just super crazy, and even if presented as kinda juvenile, the creativity and musicality on display are just mind-blowing.
Unless they sat on the songs for almost a decade, they were all in their twenties when this was recorded. The drummer was older by five years over Patton and Dunn at 27.
Maybe 10 years old?
Listening to this song as an introduction to Mr. Bungle is like listening to "She Loves You" as an intro to the Beatles.
Fair enough. I'll take that to mean that really early Beatles isn't anything like what they grew into. The more I hear from fans of Mr. Bungle, the more that becomes apparent to me! I'll find my way there!
@@BleedingEdgeProg - I highly recommend “Carry Stress in the Jaw” from the Disco Volante album. Disco Volante is by far their most experimental album, and their follow-up, California, is a little more mainstream. Their most recent release, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny, is basically a re-recording of their early demos from high school… pretty straightforward thrash metal.
Anyway, each album is completely different from the others. Disco Volante is, in my opinion, their magnum opus.
Loving the channel so far!
i mean their producer for this album was John Zorn .. he also played saxes on it.. so that should be a clue as to the experimental nature as well.
Not enough people are familiar with John Zorn's insanely expansive catalogue. He seems to have finally caved to the streaming platforms recently - I've noticed more Tzadik releases available.
Interesting. Might have to find some time to check this dude out. Thanks for watching!
He played some sax on Love is a Fist. Bar & Theo played most of the sax on the album
This Album change all my music life..... Since then incredible fan of Mike Patton and all his Projects. From Fantomas, Peeping and Mondo Cane to mention a few. this Sunday 16.June .2024 i will See Mr. Bunge live again......
When I was 13 in 1992, and had become a huge Patton fan because of Faith No More's Angel Dust album, my friend passed this album along to me as well, and I couldn't get enough!! In 2024, this album is so ingrained into my brain that I wouldn't need to take my favorite albums onto a desert island if I was ever stranded on one. 😆
I love discovering all the passion of fans for these various bands I've been checking out. The enthusiasm is contagious!
I thought about the desert island thing…I agree.🤡🤚
I love this reaction lol
Thanks! Nothing yet has caught me by surprise the way this track did. I joked about it, but I had a blast with it!
Their first album was actually *The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny* - pretty much an extreme/ thrash metal album (with a few covers). The UA-cam videos of their recent tour were mainly of performances of songs from that album (which they only properly released lately).
Their music varies quite a lot from album to album, so your ship has just bumped into the tip of the iceberg here. Might be an idea to try the one with the scorpion tale on it if you're still waiting for Stub a Dub to make it to the top of the list. Might be an idea to try it later, either here or somewhere else.
(Paint your fingernails, put some Mr Bungle on, drive up past some kids, and slow down in a menacing, evil kind of way, make a beckoning gesture with your crooked fingers, say in a villainous voice, "Come here, little boy", and then laugh a mean laugh when they scream and run away.
Later, learn a bit of humility when the cops come round, because the kids were Scouts who know to take your number plate. So now the joke is on you. I had a friend who did this, once. His girlfriend painted his nails, and this gave him a bad idea on the way home. He was a nice bloke, I swear.)
Im glad I saw them 3 times, they are one of the greatest bands ever, first time I heard them I hated it, but then my mind woke up to greatness on the level with The Beatles
That’s the exact reaction he was looking for.
You know vocals and lyrica were Mike Patton of Faith No More right? As someone born in 1970 theu were the cloaest thing to Zappa my generation had. They were genuises!
Yep! Knew that. :) And the analogy to Zappa...that thought hadn't crossed my mind and that is spot-on!
And to really blow your mind, he also sings opera so there’s that too🙃
Nice
Mike Patton (lead singer) has said that a lot of times he considers his voice to just be another instrument, especially on the Bungle albums, and that the lyrical content was often just absurdism used to give his “instrument” a vehicle. So that does explain things. However he doesn’t approach all of his music like this. It seemed be specifically about this album and some other random things.
i looked up oingo boingo thanks to you and i love their sounds so fare xD they sound a little more normal sounding but I can hear the corky and funky sound non serious sound in their music and love the saxophone i hear! am hearing the album dead man party! the song no one lives forever my fav so fare!
That's very cool! Glad I could introduce you to them! They started out a bit more punk/ska, then later drifted a little into more mellow stuff, and then the album Boingo was something else different, especially the song Insanity!
@BleedingEdgeProg any more band suggestions? In terms of creative or wacky werid :)
@@sussychachiSparks
Mike Patton was born to sing. You need to listen to "Girls of Porn" from this album, it's hilariously good.
From back in they day when labels supported artistic experimentation - when they weren't so focused on the bottom line and allowed artists several albums to grow and stretch.
Well said! Fortunately, we've reached an age when artists can do a lot with self-production. The down side these days is self-produced albums don't get the promotional money and the competition is intense!
absolutely lost it at "(Noises)" Anything Mike Patton related should have this exact reaction throughout said performance.
*fucking chaos*
"LOL!"
(Screaming)
*nods
another interesting fact to their lyrics: as patton said that most of the things he sings about are mostly a joke to confuse people and see their stupid faces when he comes up with lyrics like these, he said that to him lyrics are just a way to make the music around them sound more interesting and on point. like they´re just a way to put the instruments and the picture that they create with the whole song to put on the front. thats so unusual when u think of it, that most composers and songwriters create lyrics with deep meaning to give this whole song an forced vibe, but just choosing words just to make the whole arrangement sound more interesting and for certain words to fit an specific melody or signature shift and make them more present with that is just so overwhelming to think of.
sorry if that´s hard to read or even sound ridiculous, i´m baked
I think you’re both spot on in someways… But entirely too focused on the lyrics. I think you have to understand that, knowing the words to the song is kind of an inside joke… You’re just really honestly supposed to enjoy the cadence and the instruments I would argue. This is truly an epic masterpiece that was way ahead of its time.
Nobody was singing “we came to potty”… the lyrics didn’t come with cassette tapes, generally, and the Internet didn’t exist to look it up. Most people were winging it. There was a lot of mumbling going on back then lol
Fair enough. I do normally try to take all of a song in for the full experience, but that's a valid point that sometimes it's better to just focus on the music. If the composition is good enough, I can ignore sub-par lyrics.
At the start, I thought they were singing:"We came to party "😀 I mean, it's logical, knowing the atmosphere of the song! 😁😎🤡
i dunno.. expecting deeper lyrics out of squeeze me macaroni is like expecting gospel from looney tunes :D
Dude... You are my age. This shit was made when we were still in highschool. What were you doing back then? Lol
LMAO! I don't know how this one got past me. I think I didn't have the most adventurous friends, musically speaking, so if I didn't find it myself, it got past me. One would think that working college radio someone might have introduced me to them, right? On the other hand, I was there to hear the first album of Cannibal Corpse... I was not ready for that!
Bister Mungle...best band ever
Muster Bingle coming a close 2nd
This is what RHCP would have sounded like if they had stayed on drugs.
LMAO!
Less smack, more psychedelics.
Glad they got clean. But actually John Frusciante recorded some incredibly intense music when he was deep on heroin. But it wrecks the user and people close to them.
You might get age restricted if you listen to "girls of porn".
You tempt me, Sir!
I guess you need to react to their "Girls of Porn"
You seemed to ignore the music for the lyrics.
Yeah. Someone else said something similar. So, maybe next time I'll avoid the lyrics and focus on their music,
Obviously this is s crazy song. But you chose to do it :) the warm beer things at the end are samples of Dennis Hopper from Blue Velvet. Watch that movie to gain an insight into this song, a big insight .
Oh, really? Would not have guessed that. I know of that movie, but have never seen it. Cool factoid!
OK, yes, here they are, making a parody of the holy consumerism, sex&food and that`s the whole idea and the way I perceive it. And believe it or not, I don`t mind it at all, `cause the music that revolves around it is just so amazing, don`t you think so?😎
Even the humor of a 12-year old, as you put it, is somehow grotesque in a way and serves to illustrate the absurdity of ill kind of rising up, but also transcends it in a clever, yet korky way. So when you look it that way, they`ve just showed you another alley of their virtuosity and genius spirit. It`s also a cynical criticism on a count of modern living, and I liked it so.😆😄😊😝
Man, you gotta love their wits...😎But I`ll tell you this. Right... Ok, so far we`ve heard them play ska & circus music , with some thrash metal...Your words.😉 and that was in the previous song, Carousel. Here, we hear them play funk, rap, soul (wow!) and even Brazilian samba! (`chicka chicka boo` part)...That`s wild!🙃🙂So, where should we go next, what else do you expect from them to play? Jazz maybe... ?😎Suuuure, no problemo!😀We got it in this candy shop.😉🙂 Just to keep it on this debut album for hearing some `jazz maybe`, how about the first song on the album, "Quote Unquote", with the alternative name "Travolta" (which lead them into some legal right issues, so they kept the first title...). That would be very interesting to react to. The lyrics are on some other level in here.... On the trail of jazz is also "Love is a Fist" with some rough lyrics too, so you might consider this one also. However, if you want to keep it `classical` in a way of the arrangements and sound which, by no mean can be said about the lyrics of that song too, I suggest a reply on the infamous "The Girls of Porn". If you can imagine a blend of Michael Jackson, George Michael in one hand, and the funk-metal like "Extreme" or "Living Colour" in another, then this is a funky-sassy thing to react to. Absolutely nothing too strange or over the top except - the lyrics themselves! So, there you go!😀
And remember... The journey just started. You ain`t heard nothing yet! 😃Roughly, if you say that this debut album is for a demented 12-year olds, you`d probably be simultaneously right and wrong, Ok?... It groovy, funky, ska-ish and mostly circus fun... But, the story changes with their second album "Disco Volante" where some serious, deranged art starts to kick in.😉 Be warned..🙂Not for everyone`s ears, but I actually think you`ll dig it more than these two songs you`ve heard so far... Things become pretty dark and weird on this second album, clowns become artistically black and white, but the THIRD ONE, "Califonia"... they just become so amazingly sweet, clowns masked almost as a regular people, shiny, colorful.. just almost!...and knowing the `retro` nature of it - surf rock, soft music, world music and all that stuff....😀So many musical quotes of big names, The Beach Boys, Elvis, Vangelis, Herby Hancock, Yello... but Sepultura too!😃 You would`t believe it until you hear it! ... But all in time....😉Let`s just finish with this album first, do this few songs I named you, and then you`ll be ready for some serious sh..... No kidding. "Mr.Bungle are for kids...."🤣Nice one! Thank you for reacting to them so far either way. It`s much appreciated. "We are fans and we are manyyyyy...." Hahah... Thanks. Bye. C-ya!😊
I love your passion for these guys! And, yeah, I think I'll try the next couple of songs without lyrics. Or perhaps listen to the song and then read through the lyrics separately. I like to take in everything at once, but yeah...the lyrics get a bit distracting - in a good way. Thanks for the suggestions!
@@BleedingEdgeProg It would be great, whatever method you choose...😁 I'm just looking forward and hoping to hear it asap..😏 Will it be Travolta? Would be logical after this inicial mess, so to speak..😎 Thanx 1c again.🙂 P. S. The passion Is absolutely justified, cause you'll be able to hear almost every possible genre from them!😀 The Music you like, Music that goes by wtf in your experience, but also the Music you Never knew you'll like, since you haven't heard anything familliar so far...😏 Now, that's what I expect to see on this channel.. hope to see it some time. 🙂 Bye.
lyrics are distracting from the music imho. At least for first few listens.
I think you may be right. Next one I do without the lyrics in front of me!
"it's not art" grow up lol
If I haven't yet, there's hardly a point in doing it now! Heh!
It takes genius to recognize genius and you sir, are not.
True. I'm close, but not quite! (My mother had me tested!) Be patient with me. I'm just starting with these guys and I think we can agree this song is slightly over the top.
Sounds like one of didi's gatherings
