Mike Patton and John Zorn - Funny Games opening (1997)

[Brollyhero93TOP10]

Doesn't sound like Patton...

[marcojp94]

Patton didn't even sing in the albums that featured this song.

[WetKant]

mike patton had NOTHING to do with this soundtrack

[symbal777]

sounds like eye fosho. just started watching this flick and had to google it up.

[davidhumerocks]

It's Eye. This is straight off the record.  Amazing film. Handel, Mozart, Zorn. Jarring, effective, brilliant.

[m4rtin0m1d1]

Wow, This is Mental !!...FILM & THE SOUNDTRACK..Just awesome!!

[frididjurhuus]

Well this is definitely Eye. This is the album version, which Patton had nothing to do with.

[mviemkermick]

I only saw Funny Games US, but when the titles came on with the suden change of music, it gave me goosebumps.

[Fockoel]

that movie is great anywayyy

[Fockoel]

yep title wrong

[Zomnagorst]

As already said in the 1st page of these comments : the title is wrong ; that's absolutely not Mike Patton... the band is Naked City : w/ John Zorn (sax), Yamatsuka Eye (screams) , Bill Frisell (guitar), Fred Frith (bass), Joey Baron (drums), Wayne Horwitz (keyboards) ... the song is "Bonehead" - taken from "Torture Garden" (1991)...

[JumpJennyJumpp]

and theres also a clip of another song cut into it.

[thealmightybubble]

Oh yeah and mike patton didnt join naked city as a singer until like 2001, this movie was made in 97, so thats pretty conclusive.

[chobitz7]

i just watched a 1991 video of naked city with mike patton... i'm confused

[Markfly]

it's eye, not patton. but both guys are the best at what they do.

[chobitz7]

yeah, i heard that patton did their live shows while eye did the album...

[misterhiden54]

nope

[chobitz7]

IDK, matbe he did a guest appearence or something in 1991...

watch?v=9wGSFb_uAeY&feature=re­lated

at about 1:16, it shows the credits of who is there and it says Mike Patton on voc.

[frididjurhuus]

@chobitz7 The album came out in 1989.

[chobitz7]

@frididjurhuus Well, yeah, I've comfirmed that.. I have it. I just didn't feel like coming back 3 months later just to reply to myself and say OOPS.

lol

[ska2808]

This remake was made in 2007

[zombiedude1411]

@ska2808 2008

[ska2808]

Oops sorry, made a mistake!

[thealmightybubble]

Its definently eye. Its a studio verison, and theres two cds with 2 different studio verisons, one from torture garden, the other on Grand Guignol. I think the last part is a edit from another naked city song.

[Zarathustra06]

I agree absolutely that Frisch was better than Pitt in the role of Paul. All of Frisch's charm just didn't translate for Pitt who's usual naivete jars with the masochistic confidence demanded by the role of Paul. Thanks for loading.

[cadoixo]

it's eye, not patton

[OddBank]

after listening to the song a few times i cant tell which 1 [patton or eye] is singing at times it sounds like both and other times one or the oither.

i beleive they BOTH are on this track,,,that has hapened in te NAKED CITY history B4.

[Filter81]

When i posted this video i was sure, based on net infos, the singer was Patton.

Now i'm not sure; it can be Patton, it can be Eye, it can be both

[mrbunghole]

Its the album version, so its Eye. Patton only did live shows and recorded the vocal version of "Grand Guignol".

[estelroig1]

wich groups are the two that play opera first and hardcore later?

[bobethe]

FIRST OFF, the crazy screaming band is "NAKED CITY" and they have nothing to do with Mike Patton other than it's John Zorn on Sax who has worked a lot with Patton, and the original German film of this was better

[ubiqua]

Non è Mike Patton, sono i Naked City originali.

[blasphomy]

it's eye not patton

[findingusernamesucks]

I'm not trying to compare the two movies because as a whole I'm sure the original is much better I can already tell that's it's probably edgier but I think this particular scene was better in the American remake just because the family was cuter it's makes for a bigger contrast between the image and Zorn's music.

[Bassninja311]

The two films are exactly the same. It is the same director and he just did a shot-by-shot remake of his own film. I do agree with you, though. The American film felt better because the family was better looking. Sad, but true. lol.

[findingusernamesucks]

I knew all of that.

[Incongruent]

I knew as soon as I heard Naked City that family was fucked.

[Thelaofkazi]

Haha, same here.

The opening was done really well. I couldn't stop laughing when it came on like that. It was simple, miminalistic, but it worked well.

[Incongruent]

I know it. Such is the movie. I respected this movie a great deal. It's great how completely hateable it is.

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

Is it actually Patton singing or Eye? I say it sounds like Patton but I don't know...

[findingusernamesucks]

It's Eye . . . I don't know how or why it got around that it was Mike, I mean I thought it was too. Then I bought the album and Mike Patton is nowhere to be found on Toture Garden's liner notes.

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

Yep you can actually tell it's not Mike if you listen properly.

[findingusernamesucks]

Well that's true in a way but there's no way to be completely sure unless you know because Eye and Patton both spend a lot of time diliberately swithcing up their vocal styles . . . Adult Themes for Voice is an awesome recording

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

I actually didn't like Adult Themes for Voice. It felt empty and boring after a while, except for some themes, like Porno Holocaust. But I'll have to listen to it again, I suppose. But I like all his other stuff. I especially love, for what the regards collaborations with Zorn, the Magick/Six Litanies for Heliogabalus/Astronome trilogy. Brilliant.

[findingusernamesucks]

I guess "Themes'" charm is all based on listening to sounds rather than "songs" I mean I don't listen to it all that much but the ideas are fun . . . The Moonchild stuff is brilliant though

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

I agree. Sorry I meant Moonchild, got confused with Magick by Zorn's Crowley Quartet.

[cromagnonmonster]

When I first saw this I thought it was a poor usage of Zorn's music, used for a freaky effect. After some thought I feel its actually quite fitting.

[FabioGama]

does someone has the original scene? i mean, not dubbed.

[bacardi666]

eye and zorn would be a better title for your movie ;)

[Dunkelheit420]

Who can tell me what the opening music is? I love it!

[Enoculation]

It's an opera called "Cavalleria Rusticana" composed by Pietro Mascagni. The recording should be a 1957 recording with Jussi Björling and Renata Tebaldi in the lead roles (the two voices you heard at the beginning).

[Dunkelheit420]

Thank you so much! I will ask my hubby to get me a copy for Yule!

[visioncreation1]

Eye is a wonderful performer. Love this opening to pieces.

[Zomnagorst]

... in effect... your title is wrong ; that's absolutely not Mike Patton... the band is Naked City : w/ John Zorn (sax), Yamatsuka Eye (screams) , Bill Frisell (guitar), Fred Frith (bass), Joey Baron (drums), Wayne Horwitz (keyboards) ... the song is "Bonehead" - taken from "Torture Garden" (1991)...

[JC085]

And "Hellraiser" as well.

[frididjurhuus]

@Zomnagorst He could have thought it was Patton since he has sung in Naked City before.

[cullaumana]

yes is yamatsuka eye from boredoms..tha band here is the naked city

[Revco]

Thats not Patton and Zorn, that is Yamatsuka Eye.

The Japanese version of Mike Patton.
