Hello Mr. Dunn! I got into Mr Bungle this year and was wondering about what inspired some songs. For instance, My Ass is on Fire. Where did that come from? As well as Carousel. The first album seems to be darker than the rest and was just curious what inspired them. Plus, personal favorites.
Also, you're a brilliant bassist keep doing what you're doing. Oh and loved the funk you bring to the table!
Hope you have a good day :)

MY ANSWER

I’m not sure how to answer the question “where did that come from?” Where does anything come from? The lyrics have to do with self-anger. Carousel is about the dark lure of the circus/carnival/funhouse what have you. They’re all pretty dark if you ask me.
