Anyone dig Mr.Bungle? they have a definite Elfman-esque to them..and they even covered the Pee Wee theme..what do you guys think of them…i think Mike Patton, Dunn and Spruance and Elfman should collabarate on something!! that would be amazing
I @#!$ing LOVE Mr. Bungle!
I think it’s more of a film music influence in general than Elfman specifically, but you’re right, it is there. They did, in fact cover “Breakfast Machine”, and did a fine job of it too.
As for a collaboration, I’d rather see them score films individually. Tons of their stuff is film-music-esque, even the stuff they write by themselves. Dunn wrote “The Holy Filament,” and a few of them wrote “The Bends”, which is as film music-y as a rock band has ever been, I think.
Don’t forget that Patton and Dunn are also in Fantomas, whose first album was the score to an obscure french comic book from the 20s, and whose second was death metal versions of Morricone, Rota and Herrmann pieces.
Burt, the Bungle/Ipecac geek
And one of them (can’t remember which) was in the mystic knights
(They covered the batman theme and boingo’s ‘poictures of you’ also)
One of my all-time favorite bands!!
I’m afraid you are wrong sadly, I have pretty much every Mr. Bungle recording available and they never covered Pee Wee music or Batman, this is just yet another case of bad internet labelling. They have however done Pictures of You by Oingo Boingo
Primus covered Pee Wee’s Big Adventure…
Mr. Bungle is also one of my all time favorite bands, as well as Fantomas. Anyone listen to Tubring? They’re really good. Their but album “Drake Equation” was produced by Spruance, and you can definitely hear a Bungle-esque influence. Sadly Mr. Bungle is no more…
