Mr. Bungle - Goodbye Sober Day | Reaction + Lyrical Analysis 

Just wanna let you know that I'll be listening to a Mr. Bungle album next month. 😏

What you can expect with Mr Bungle is that your experience will be unexpected. 😂

They had a three album deal and this is the last song, so it's the Bungle apocalypse. They blow out the sun, set aflame the sea and roll up the sky on their way out and get drunk as it all ends and vanish into the heavens.

Super❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

😂😂😂 All the controverse... You really never know what you gonna get with mr. Bungle.

Excellent reaction.. Mr Bungle ❤❤ Mike Patton: Adult Themes for Voice this is a very cool.. Regards for All.

i view the ending as bungle showing you, they are really evil demons from hell and they are showing us the sounds of hell xD like mischievous demons they disguise themselves into so many styles of music an vocal styles... from circus music to beachboy sounding music to jazz to metal to endless styles of disguises :3

COOL! One of my all time fav songs and album AND band. I recommend: 'Secret Chiefs 3 - Book Of Horizon' (just any song, really) and 'Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - The Donkey Headed Adversary of Humanity Opens the Discussion'

The video of Mr. Bungle at the Bizarre festival is really good. It has decent sound and visual quality and includes songs from all albums and is worth a listen. And look.

Friendly fire by Linkin park next came out not too long ago(I think a week ago) RIP CHESTER

Goodbye Sober Day.🍺🐨🤙

'Pin my ear to the wisdom post Hang me up and drain me dry Mend my shipwrecked spirit Lift the veil from my eyes' Odin was hung from a the World Tree and gained enlightenment and Christ was crucified on a cross and ascended to heaven, so this may relate to that. There are themes from different religions in some Bungle songs, even getting as obscure as the Peacock God.

Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz!😉

Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz! shows you mikes weird abstract side! its the early signs of mikes other wild band fantomas! fantomas best albums are their first and suspended animations those are so abstract and crazy! making bungle seem tame in some degrees. fantomas albums arent as popular in demands with request so i suggest you listen to their first an suspended on your own an give us your thoughts as bonus info on mike patton reaction's lol good music! also fantomas songs from those albums are very short! they basically made one song each day of the month! and all the music is written by mike. this just shows you he is def crazy an epic xD

Eej, super, reagovala si i na ludilo albuma California.🤩 Hvala ti opet za menšn i bravo što si izdržala do kraja...🙃😂 Da, kakva razlika između ove stvari i Pink Cigarette, a čak su na istom albumu!😃 Radikalnija jedno 100 puta!😵‍💫🤓 BTW, ovaj dole ispod ti se raspisa, zeznuo je čak i mene po tome...😂🤣Trebaće ti g.translate da ga skontaš, jer koristi rečnik zvaničnog kritičara ili naučnika, ali u biti - istinite i tačne stvari je napisao, tako da ok. Ne znam šta bih više dodao.🧐😅 Ali ajd da probam, pošto je baja postupio sa biografskim infoom kao i sam Mr.Bungle sa žanrovima, zbrda-zdola, evo ja ću koju reč konkretno o samoj pesmi, uz napomenu da su mi reči i dan danas misterija nakon toliko vremena slušanja... Imaš više muzičkih žanrova, za početak...🙂Pesma kreće sa sambom kao da je karneval u Riju.😋Možda najotkačeniji, pardon, najklovnovskiji segment u njoj, pošto je poznato da su clown band, ili šta god... Elem, dovoljno klovnovski da zvuči tako, po njihovom muzičkom manifestu.😉U rečima, Paton se pita kako da pomiri ono što mu drugi govore sa nečim što bi mogao čuti samo da je na drogama, ond. da masira nekakav kosmički čir, ludak.. Potom, ide taj pseudo-refren, kojim pesma počinje i završava se, "Zbogom trezni dane, zdravo Mlečni pute"... ali Milky Way je i čokoladica, tako da je to komercijalna, konzumerska banalizacija višeg putovanja već u samom startu, ono sa čime se danas suočavamo, kapiraš?😎😉 U nastavku, međutim, sleduju sve ozbiljniji, žanrovski verniji delovi.. Ima taj psihodelik spejs ambijent, prvi nakon karnevala... A odmah zatim, prepoznala si tehno-pop ritam i sanjivu molsku pratnju, gde Paton cvrkuće nešto svojim dubokim glasom (ono "okači me i osuši, prikucaj na itd." deo...). E vidiš, ranije sam ti pominjao, nisi mogla znati vrv, ali ovaj tehno-bit je direktan muzički citat slavnog švajcarskog pop-dueta iz 80-ih Yello... Za njih ne znaš jedino ako si živela pod kamenom, to si mogla i u detinjstvu čuti, ako ne i kasnije..😄Kod nas obično cure su volele njihovu pesmu The Rhythm Divine, sporu baladu koju je pevala Širli Bejsi, a momci su voleli onu brzu stvar The Race.😎 Ako još uvek ne znaš ko su, ili ti nisu poznati, to su ona dvojica Švajcaraca bogataša koji su osmislili tada super moderan pop zvuk nalik tehno ritmu, a komično su se izdvajali po tome što su svoju muziku prekrivali svojim izuzetno dubokim glasovima koji su brzo roštiljali reči pesme... I ako ti i dalje nije jasno ko su😀, evo na kraju link njihove stvari, pa uporedi kako su Paton i ekipa iskoristili / iskopirali njihov već formirani, legendarni, šarmantni, blazirani, šmekerski stil zvuka da dočaraju današnju lagodnu dekadenciju bez prave znatiželje ili aludiraju na filozofiju današnjice 'lako ćemo'...Takođe, reči koje Paton izgovara su prilagođeni citat jedne starije lirske pesme "Bože, čuj molitvu" od izvesnog pesnika po imenu Džejms Džonson😉 Istovetne ili približne reči izgovara taj pesnik moleći zapravo Boga da spase grešnike da ne odu u pakao koji im po delima pripada, o tome je tu reč.😉 "Spasi Bože grešnika, okači ga i osuši od greha, prikucaj mu u uvo mudrosti, skini mu povez s očiju..." Dakle, Paton konfrontira taj put nepokajanja sa lagodnošću i glatkoćom života, maznuvši kao pozadinu muziku grupe Yello, a evo i njih:😎 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7cNrrnGkm-E.html&ab_channel=YelloVEVO Stvarno su genijalci čega su se setili!😅Potom se refren ponavlja u formi lagane, spore bossa nove uz koju je moguće čak i plesati, pevljivi "Gooooodbye S.Day"...😊Znači, još više zalazi u pakao moderne lagodnosti i indiferentnosti.😎 Onda sledi onaj deo sa semplovima slonova i eksplozijama, gde reči "duhovi prošlosti postaju varvari budućnosti" uz pratnju starinjskih organa kao da označavaju pretnju, zazor 'obrisanog' današnjeg čoveka za svim onim što mu je prethodilo, jer se plaši da će mu se tako srušiti kule budućeg, a stih "i dalje te žalim jer si rekao istinu", njegovu nesrećnu mantru prilikom ovoga svega...😑Nakon još jednog uranjanja u ugodnu bossa novu, sledi rasprskivanje. Ritam iščezava. Pojavljuje se astralno-religiozni element: hor (Patonovo višeglasno usnimavanje) i jedan pseudo-religiozni napev koji podseća na dozivanje islamskog hodže sa minareta...Ovaj hodža😁međutim, parafrazira reči Biblije.😃Tačnije, Otkrovenja, gde se zapravo apokalipsa opisuje tim rečima, ovde malo nezgrapnije i duhovitije: "Nek ti se sunce ugasi ko sveća, nek ti more gori ko katran, nek ti se nebo smota u rolak, a plavi mesec utopi u krv!..."😃Apokalipsa je negde momenat kada se konačno odvaja žito od kukolja, zapravo oni koji su grešni više i nemaju izbora. Ali, u kontekstu onih reči na Yello-delu, mi se pitamo da li će se Bog na kraju smilovati i na grešnike, jer nema dalje kud sa njima, i Pakao će biti uništen tad...! A zatim sledi vrhunska kulminacija: Sepultura-metal deo koji zapravo počinje tradicionalnim indonežanskim ritualnim 'ketjak' pevanjem!😃Tu Paton imitira taj ritual koji postoji čak i na pločama, tako su ga zapravo prvi put i čuli! "Čak-Čak-Čak-Čaka-Čaka-Čaka-Čaka-Čaka.."🤩🤣😂Znači, zamisli domoroce koji sednu u krug i pevaju tako, neizmenično se povijajući napred-nazad i bacajući ruke jedni ka drugima dok to izvode. To je to.😄Oni tu slave put nekog svog poluboga koji prolazi kroz Vatru Sveta da bi se sa Zemlje uspeo na Nebo.😊Ta mitološka zaleđina ovog pevanja poslužila je istovremeno da simbolički opiše put pojedinca koji se spašava kapitalizma i konzumerizma. 🙂😉🙃Ostaje još u finalnim stihovima, ponovljenom karnevalu u Riju, da se opiše šta i dalje ostaje na Zemlji... "Šta će reći kad primete da si ispario, ako ti iskopam kosti i napravim supu od njih..." Svet tone u zavisnost, i svrha kapitalizma je da jede sam sebe. Njima i nije ostalo ništa nakon njegovog odlaska osim da se hrane njegovim ostacima... Ovo može biti i kritika površnog hrišćanskog licemerja i moralizma koji se hrani ostacima Isusovog tela, npr. a u međuvremenu među sobom glođu kosti, razumeš?... Raskošna završna slika albuma Mr. Bungle, krcatog raskoši, baš obećava i sa jedne i sa druge strane; daje ti sliku uzdizanja, a sama pesma se završava bukom i kakofonijom gladnih, mahnitih duša sveta... I eto, to bi bilo to.😊 Kako ti se sviđa ovaj uporedni opis, je li pomogao šta?😄🙃🙂

lyrically song sounds like they talking about murdering someone an they are free their souls go into the milky way! what will their loved ones think of them when they never see them again xD or it could be about alcohol xD

Fun fact: 'Goodbye Sober Day' is another UK colloquialism in the English language to describe 'Sober holidays' 🤣 You've a lot of influences from all sub-genres with Mr. Bungle California is hideously deceptive on many levels. A casual listen to the beginning of most of the tracks here will call to mind a tribute to the Beach Boys, complete with harmonized vocals, lazy surf tremolo guitar lines, and an overall sense of glimmering pop. Mr Bungle pays careful attention to crafting songs of a much tighter sense of theme and timberal color, as riff after riff moves from a 50’s surf-pop ballad to anywhere else imaginable, like a perverse musical version of ‘6 degrees to Brian Wilson’. Mr Bungle is often characterized as unclassifiable. They make music of an incredible range of styles that cannot be grouped into any genre; one second they are playing a riff that sounds like a 50’s band playing classical music and the next sounds like an orchestra of toy zylophones playing atonal death metal. ‘Disco Volante’ would be the clearest example of their transitive chaotic casserole of styles, heavily influenced by the work of avant-garde composer John Zorn. California is quite different, and if it had to be said that it was influenced by another composer/arranger, it would certainly be Brian Wilson. MP's vocals are spot-on. MP has a versatile voice, no matter what he does, he fills the spot perfectly. Incredible for the range and clarity of high notes. Alternates between high pitched falsetto singing and low baritone vocals, and very rarely screams (something the band employed into the majority of their early material) and also doesn't rap a single line on the whole cd. All the genre's the band previously attempted, most notably funk, are gone (exept for Death metal, which appears in a handful of songs), instead replaced with jazz and pop and basically anything soft. There are still heavy moments, but they're in small numbers, unlike the first albums which would typically have songs that featured metal as their main focus. I'd say I can see "Golem II" being on "Disco Volante", as it reminds me of a more serious version of "The Desert Search For Techno Allah", and I can see "None Of Them Knew They Were Robots" fitting on the debut, as it's one of the noiser songs (with all the samples and with the genre changing every 10 seconds), and it features Patton at his most diverse, as part of the song contains death growls and high pitched screaming. 'Goodbye Sober Day' is the monumental closer and perfect way to finalize an album. If there is one song that hits back to their older days. 'Goodbye Sober Day' sample of Traditional Folk's 'The Ramayana Monkey Chant (Ketjak)' It is much better to experience live. 'Goodbye Sober Day' is the definitive Bungle song and a definite highlight of 'California'. The album takes influences from doowop to trash metal, from funk to middle eastern music. The whole album is a journey. We go from this hybrid of the Beachboys and metal song called "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare" from the doowop track "Vanity Fair" to the avant-garde jazz rock inspired "Goodbye Sober Day". In some tracks, the whole history of heavy metal is portrayed (NWOBHM). Mr Bungle maybe lived in the shadows of 'Faith No More', the band that would always be Pattons most successful and the band that had the most commercial value. However this obviously didn't stop them as the band actually outlived 'Faith No More' and produced an album that is arguably better than anything 'Faith No More' produced. And the interesting thing is, in our post genre world, this record has become oddly prescient. Mr. Bungle is a metal band at heart but they really can't help but to stretch out here and there. 'California' comes across as progressive metal/island vibe fusioners w/ more than just a little talent to back that up their way through an album's worth of just about every sonical landscape imaginable. The strange thing about this all is they managed to put this all in a popfriendly package. It's somehow both their most technically sophisticated and most accessible album. (Sweet Charity, Retrovertigo, Pink Cigarette, Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy, Goodbye Sober Day). Golem II is the coolest concept for a album. Probably more tracks, come to think of it. If, like so many others, you need the music you listen to to match your mood, then 'California' has at least music for whatever you need. Many bands are praised for incorporating a lot of genres into their songs but in some cases, the influence is so small that you struggle to hear it at all. In Mr. Bungle's case however, there are a million influences everywhere, and the transitions are so smooth and effortless that you can't help but be amazed. It also displays their amazing musicianship and songwriting skills, and also makes it a little more interesting than your standard album. Amongst all the genres, there is also a lot of chaos and a unique 'sound' present that unifies all of these different influences. Mike Patton is incredible on this album, demonstrating his abilities in a variety of styles, though there's not much of the Fantomas or solo project style sound effects. This is to contemporary experimental rock what 'Reign In Blood' was to thrash; 'Sgt Pepper's' was to sixties music or 'was to punk: the album that defines that era. These are the ones that set the bar and by which these genres are defined. Imagine Pet Sounds era Beach Boys and Frank Zappa but schizophrenic lol. This is an especially good analogy, because "Goodbye Sober Day". That song is a perfect closer, This album is the shortest of the three Mr. Bungle albums, mixes Beach Boys style harmonies, doo wop, rockabilly, bossa nova, swing, Ennio Morricone, Burt Bacharach style pop, as well as metal, albeit much less than on their previous releases. This is the Mr. Bungle equivalent of a “mature” album, without the goofiness of the debut or the rampant experimenting and wanton sonic exploration of Disco Volante. All the tracks are very distinct from one another, yet, despite the constant fusion of different genres, the album does manage to hold together. All the tracks here are interesting: the majority are wonderful and memorable as well, such as the Beach Boys- esque “Sweet Charity”, the sci-fi rockabilly epic “None of Them Knew They Were Robots” the incredibly normal sounding (yet still brilliant) “Retrovertigo”…in fact the only less than stellar song here is “Vanity Fair”, which sounds far less inspired and well-written than the rest of the album. Apart from that, the songs are consistently glorious. Just like all the other Mr. Bungle's albums, "California" mixes several other music styles such as surf rock, folk, metal, Western etc. etc. The whole album reminds of The Beach Boys and Faith No More. "Retrovertigo" sounds very much like Faith No More if you ask me, because of Patton's serious singing voice and the enormous drums. "Mr. Bungle" and "Disco Volante" had several long "silent", artistic moments but unfortunately "California" goes straight to business and keeps on rocking almost all the time. The only problem is that the album feels like it ends surprisingly fast. There arent' that many brass solos either. Of course, there are still a lot of styles to be found in the mix, but this time the fusion sounds tighter and much more melodic. There are a lot of different sounds but supported by a phenomenal, tasteful jazz/rock rhythmic base, whose elasticity provided a great range of sonic possibilities. The different sections are well constructed and tied together, and the great variety of instruments and soundscapes makes the whole listening a very rewarding one. By 1999 Mike Patton was no longer focused on Faith No More, and so he had more free space to merge his particular ideas in a better way both in his solo work, and in his side-project, Mr. Bungle. They had published 2 LP's since 1985 and took really long breathes between releases. While their first LP was somewhat reminiscent of the 'Faith No More' funk-metal sound. n this world there exist bands whose ambition exceeds their talent. Contrarily, there are bands not interested in experimentation, opting instead to stick with the sound they’re most comfortable with. Mr. Bungle, on the other hand, seem to find comfort in experimentation while simultaneously having the talent to back it all up. The comparatively conventional song structures and occasional mainstream leanings of Mr. Bungle's self-titled debut album with the bizarre laundry list of musical genres, was without one of the most refreshing musical experiences I had ever heard upon first listen and continues to be one of the most, if not the most, fascinating album I've ever heard. None of this should mesh well and be this revisitable yet it is, much more than their still stellar discography. The most idea pushing project Mike Patton has ever been apart of. One of the best comparisons I can give to Mike Patton's persona as an artist is that of an evil Bugs Bunny, or the devil as drawn by Tex Avery. An incredibly animated and mischievous character that has a sinister twist laying underneath. Mr. Bungle is able to accomplish what eluded them before; the ability to create a song with a story, and allow the experimentation that defines the group be an accessory to the music and not be the music. In 1999. The 90s saw a return of the Brit-pop aesthetics, Stereolab channeled Bacharach, and Mr. Bungle channeled those brief few years where Mike Patton and company obliterate and reconstruct just about everything that was good about pop music in the 60s and assembles it in their cockeyed image.
