Mr. Bungle - Retrovertigo Music Video

Music rights belong to WMG.
This was made when filmmaking meant something to me. The only agenda was truth. Unfortunately that's not the case anymore. But I am still alive and hope to keep creating when I can afford it.

[@ireallyambiggiesmallsinatr8661]

Patton’s voice is so majestic!

[@mentecho]

I would love a pyschological explanation about why so many of us find this video so comforting

[@VSgrPistolStar]

Because we are normal 😀

[@Kleng121]

Because we are all subconsciously unhappy with certain aspects of our lives. We want someone else to come and fix these things we think and feel are wrong, while also accepting and comforting us that we were right in how we felt. We don't wanna be the bad guy, or the "voice of reason" if it means we could ultimately end up being wrong or perhaps losing in the game. But when it is someone else's name and fame at stake, we don't mind letting others take the spotlight if it means getting our way.

I can remember listening to this back in summer of 2009, when my parents had separated (and later got back together and are still together to this day) and I was battling a deep depression as a result. I was 20 years old, coming to terms with my youthful sense of immortality coming to an end as a result of this tragedy, and I stumbled upon this music video and found myself feeling a deep connection with the character and the throes he was dealing with with his own family….at least until the masked people and the blond dude came in and started killing everyone. Either or, this track still strikes a cord. I’m 33 now, married and have a very successful career as a nurse and soon to be grad student. Thinking back to that period makes me realize how much I’ve grown since then and how much that whole situation shaped both me as a person and my current trajectory in life. Bad things happen for reasons we don’t always understand, but they ultimately serve an important purpose and that’s to make us stronger. 😊

[@cbl6520]

I can't wait to sending the link when he gets out of school today. I raised my son for the first two years on my own and he went everywhere with me. That being said he got to listen to a lot of Mike Patton. He also went fishing a lot with me. He doesn't like fishing but he loves Mike Patton. I'll take that.

What's weird about it is that I always was black sheep in school, never could fit in , never really talked to anyone in my class and was always on my own, it's somewhat sad looking back on it, but I'm really grateful he did tell me about Mr.Bungle that day.

I think I consider this track the height of that '90s FNM/Bungle sound. Feels like the most direct expression of a particular sense of alienation I think serves as the backdrop for a lot of Patton's other projects. (Think Everything's Ruined off Angel Dust) I've always thought Mr. Bungle in particular was at its best when it leaned into being the grotesque fun-house mirror reflection of music as industry.
