Long before Mike Patton joined Faith No More, and even longer before he got involved with the artsy crowd and Norah Jones, he was in a band which named itself after an unhygienic ill-mannered puppet clown from the 1959 educational film Lunchroom Manners, Mr. Bungle. As were Trevor Dunn and Trey Spruance. Mr. Bungle's first album was the 1986 tape-only release The Raging Wrath of the the Easter Bunny, and what better day than today to offer it to you, in all its lo-fi metal glory. Enjoy the music and beware of the Easter Bunny.
MP3s: Grizzly Adams | Anarchy Up Your Anus | Spreading the Thighs of Death | Hypocrites | Bungle Grind | Raping Your Mind | Evil Satan | Sudden Death

















hmmm.... i dont remember a Mr Bungle puppet on Pee Wees show, but it could have slipped by me. i do remember on his 1980's HBO special they used a film, a 1950's school hygene ed film, with a character named Mr Bungle. sort of a Goofus and Gallent thing. "Timmy always washes his hands after using the rest room. he remembers Mr Bungle would never do that" etc.
picky i know...

Big thanks for this little gem which I had no idea existed. Patton and his "artsy crowd" are heading here (oz) in June and I can't wait.

The above comment by Bob is correct. There was no puppet on Peewee's show named Mr. Bungle. It was the 1950's hygene movie.

The name of the film is Beginning Responsibility: Lunchroom Manners.
Skip form AVGeeks has it up on his youtube site.
Mr. Bungle doesn't wash his hands or comb his hair...

I have to chime in on the Pee-Wee / Mr. Bungle angle. On Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Pee-Wee did indeed play 1950s hygiene films, and often, in the narration, a certain Mr. Bungle was mentioned, but he was never shown. Rather, the narrator warned us children to always sit at the lunch table and eat our food with manners, and then when we were done, to push the chairs back to the table, because after all, WE didn't want to be like Mr. Bungle.
So there!

Man, it's great to listen such an amazing band a Mr. Bungle in their first album, this record is excellent and you can hear a really good death metal mixed with other genres, so it's really cool.

These songs, along with all the other Mr. Bungle demos, are available for download as MP3s from ftp.bunglefever.com (and I believe this is where the files used here originated).
