My Ass Is On Fire

DON'T yoU FUCKING look AT ME

This song just makes all other bands look flat and dull by comparison.

Listen, this song isn't about anything, obviously. The singer is just making fun of metal music! I mean, honestly, REDUNDANT REDUNDANT REDUNDANT!? Genius, but the lyrics are as satirical as they come.

It's about smoking.

really? no one was reminded by

"It's not funny, my ass is on fire Paraplegic, inhuman liar"

of the childhood rhyme, "Liar, liar, pants on fire"?

not sure what most of the songs about, but the narrator is definitely lying about something, and

"Carve a smile On your face Everything's great Suffocate"

sounds to me like hes lying about his state of mind, making it look like hes happy

i think this song is supposed to be purposely nonsensical and stupid.. the instruments sound reversed and/or jumbled up and it doesn't (musically) make sense although it sounds awesome

His ass in on fire.

Mr Bungle's style combines music stereotype sounds(like circus musicy jazz ska other?) with crazy arrangements to make music completely original breaking out of the simple midwest paradigm of ABAB or AABB style song writing. I have a live version of this song and Mike Patton says he wrote this song because he lost his wallet. Who knows if thats what really happened but you can definitly feel that sick kind of emotion come through in this song particularly.

i think the term you're looking for, zakuro, is avant-garde
