Completely understand why he’s in the ward. Tried reading the lyrics backward….. Nothing… Inside out… Nothing… No code made any sense what so ever, so I gave up.
.
On another note, I didn’t realize Mike Patton fronted Mr. Bungle until I looked at the video. I find it strange that I’ve never attempted to give them a second listen.

Well written but, I have no frame of reference since I do not know that band… insert sound of ficlet whooshing over my head here ;)

This is really funny given the lyrics make no sense whatsoever to me. Like Jenunique I tried every code I could think of to make sense of it.

“We’ve tried everything we can, but your son simply does not seem to respond in any coherent manner.”

That pretty much says it all. Very funny ficlet.

I highly suggest you don’t try to make sense of the lyrics. Mike Patton is known for making nonsensical noises in his songs, and this song is full of them. His talent for it is incredibly apparent on his album Adult Themes for Voice.
Thanks for the comments though guys. I’m glad you got a kick out of the story.

The song did not really mean much to me, but I liked the picture that you painted of the insane asylum – it definitely has that institutional feel. In my mind’s eye I could see the yucky green walls.

Well done.

LoA

hey john i was just listening to it isnt funny my ass is on fire like two minutes prior to reading this small world

It’s amazing how you transitioned from the song and wrote this ficlet.

Very, very creative.
