Mr. Bungle - Dead Goon

Mr. Bungle was an experimental rock/avant-garde metal group from Northern California. The band was formed in 1985 while the members were still in high school and was named after a children's educational film. Mr. Bungle released four demo tapes in the mid to late 1980s before being signed to Warner Bros. Records and releasing three full-length studio albums between 1991 and 1999. The band toured in 2000 to support their last album but in 2004 they disbanded. Although Mr. Bungle went through several line up changes early in their career, the longest serving members were vocalist Mike Patton, guitarist Trey Spruance, bassist Trevor Dunn, drummer Danny Heifetz, and Clinton "Bär" McKinnon on saxophone and woodwinds.

Mr. Bungle was known for its distinctive musical traits, often cycling through several musical genres within the course of a single song. Many of its songs had an unconventional structure and utilized a wide array of instruments and samples. Live shows often featured members dressing up and an array of cover songs.

Despite the fact that it was signed to a major record label, the band never experienced significant commercial success during its lifetime and only released one music video.

Nobler than Oedipus
Clairvoyant and toothless
Foreplay with no friends
Premature until the end

I've got a secret
Babbling senseless
No one will ever know

Kids can be so cruel
Smash the feeling
Suckle the sugar breast

Too happy - a jerk beyond a smile
An asphyxiophile
I'm the Humper; stop hitting me
Walking the plank, swallowing dirt

Johnny - just skin and juice and hair
A hero unaware
Tied in a knot beneath giggling
My own two hands tickling me

Innocent friction
Boys and girls are stealing my oxygen
Sex? There's no such thing
All that's left is laughing, choking, laughing

Playing solitaire
A rope and mommy's underwear
Hanging on, letting go
Dangling to and fro

NOOO

It can't happen here

Floating away
Tingling
Fluid seeping
Family weeping
It feels so good
So bad
But please
Don't tease me

Patton makes any band amazing

[Dunnknowargie]

This fuckin' shit kept me oblivious of the personal hell I went through back in 1991. It was ALL that I listened to for MONTHS. And in my adored Sony walkman too.

ah, the good ole days.

@anhedonia47 I like all the inbetween noise stuff I think it goes with the album. It's like the soundtrack to a very twisted pornographic children's cartoon.

@volpotmakmak So those are all just samples of other songs or does Mr.Bungle play the music to any of that last part?

[Lavern4101]

@jojes1000 The entire song is beautiful and I love the ending. But it can definitely put you to sleep.

[ROONTANG]

Best bass line ever.

[JainaSil]

@jojes1000 indeed, possibly listened to this over 1000 times over the past 21 years.

[jojes1000]

Thumbs up if you heard the whole end of this song.

[kozmonika]

just listen!
