Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy (Mr. Bungle cover)

Whether or not you find this insanity to be an enjoyable listening experience, I gotta say, it's a lot of fun to play.
Usually when I post a cover, CZcams warns me that the melody is the same as an existing song so I get a copyright claim. That didn't happen this time. I know it's not perfect but I thought it was at least recognizable shrug I guess I'd better warn everyone manually - I do not own the rights to this song.

[@BubblingSyphilisSund]

I never would have imagined this song could be adapted to solo acoustic so well.

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thank you. It's not perfect but I'm happy that it's recognizable.

[@onionhat745]

The fact that you translated this instrumentally complex song so perfectly into a solo acoustic performance is nothing short of astounding.

[@rustyjames1727]

Bonus points for the robot voice!

[@THEDOGSBODIES1]

That’s one of the best covers I’ve ever seen, like that was perfect

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thank you.

[@plutoloco2378]

This is impressive.

[@thedanyesful]

Great cover. I wouldn’t have even thought an acoustic single take version of this was feasible.

[@VARAWK]

Dude! You just reinstated my faith in the creative merit of solo song covers on CZcams. I've wanted to improve at making my own for years but been so afraid of not making the songs my own; this might just be the push I need. :-D

[@HermitTheFraud]

Glad to hear it!

[@conglomeratedog8024]

after watching all your bungle covers this is my favorite! love the arrangement

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thanks. I like this one too. Before I started doing the covers I wasn't sure which ones would work. I only knew Retrovertigo. I was surprised this one came out as well as it did.

[@reverendprophet]

I have an easier time making out the lyrics when you're singing than when Patton's doing it.
You're killing it, bro.

[@Paolo8772]

I agree, but Patton wasn't focusing on lyrics being heard; I think he cares more about the music overall.

[@Paolo8772]

Considering this is one take from one person singing and playing acoustic guitar: this is excellent. Love it, and thanks for posting!

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thank you.

[@MachLandar]

maybe the last song I'd ever expect to hear as a solo acoustic cover lmao...really really excellent

[@HermitTheFraud]

If I hadn't set myself the goal of covering the whole album then I probably wouldn't have attempted it. Honestly, though, I probably consider this cover to be better than most of the other ones. I'm glad to hear you liked it.

[@MachLandar]

@@HermitTheFraud stumbled on this randomly and just now saw you did the whole album...one song is insane but that is just something else...really amazing to pull that off

[@dbbs960]

Crazy! Brilliant.

[@wiglord]

holy shit that was nuts, well done!

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thanks

[@Combustion47]

Awesome cover , very enjoyable 🤘

[@crystals1715]

This was the song that introduced me to bungle and a lifelong obsession with Patton... this is incredible man... just wow!

[@MrHoolign]

Amazing!!!!!!!!
great interpretation of the full song!

[@jayadkisson8934]

Amazing job!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AnthonyRecenello]

Outstanding.

[@davidpalan411]

Awesome arrangement!

[@mikemayberry7121]

Nice cover! I wonder if you might consider covering the song "We're Not Alone" from the Peeping Tom album? That's one of my favorite Patton songs and I'd bet you would absolutely nail it!

[@pichueka]

Wow, that's incredible mate.

[@MelektausTheWizard]

you know at first i hated this cover but after listening for it for two years i gotta say its pretty phenomenal

[@HermitTheFraud]

😆

[@MelektausTheWizard]

really appreciate you for making such a bop my man ive been on my playlist for longer than im comfortable to admit@@HermitTheFraud

[@OnSergLine]

Making an acoustic cover outa this is an interesting challenge
You got it!

[@HermitTheFraud]

Thank you. The whole album was tough - many successes and failures. I like this one, though.

[@OnSergLine]

@@HermitTheFraud it was the last song i got into on that album.
It seemed too weird at first, so i assumed it is more of a joke track, but then the creativity of it n all those nodes to Mancini opened it up for me n song won me over big time

[@vicenteibanez9084]

asombroso

[@vebjrnlien9001]

This is great!

[@OleksiiTheAngry]

Amazing!

[@grandeois]

Covering the entire King For A Day album at 1 million subs!

[@conaninflable2832]

Gilgamesh would be proud

[@joshuabroyles7565]

I am delighted to have found your channel. If you need some half-baked original stuff, I have it. I can give you lyrics and chords if you need those. No melodies. No grooves as such. Hundreds of lyrics to choose from. But may as well start here...

[@gastonjabaly]

where r u from

[@HermitTheFraud]

Canada

[@gastonjabaly]

@@HermitTheFraud ohhhh i c too bad for me

[@LonestarStudio]

Outstanding.
