I'm hearby giving up finishing the Mr. Bungle "Mr. Bungle" album, because I have another idea that I want to work with.... Parodying another band that everybody hates, but I for one LOVE!!! Yes, Along with The Epic 40 I'm going to parody Reel Big Fish's album "Greatest Hit... And More". Not that anybody cares, because... Like I said, nobody but me actually likes this band, but I thought I would put it up here just for the hell of it.

Along with the song I already have done "Valentine's Sucks" to "Everything Sucks" I'm completing the other 18 songs on this album with the Holiday theme... Hopefully I can come up with 19 different Holidays (That might be the hard part), but I think I'll have an easier and much more entertaining job pulling this off than finishing the rest of Mr. Bungle, because I mean more people would rather listen to Reel Big Fish (As cookie cutter as they may be) than the crazy random noise that is Mr. Bungle...

Here are the songs...

1. Sell Out
2. Take On Me
3. She's Famous Now
4. Don't Start A Band
5. Cheer Up
6. The Set Up (You Need This)
7. Beer
8. I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend Too
9. Your Guts (I Hate 'Em)
10. Ban The Tube Top
11. She Has A Girlfriend Now
12. Thank You For Not Moshing
13. Everything Sucks
14. Suckers
15. The Fire
16. Where Have You Been?
17. Trendy
18. Give It To Me
19. One Hit Wonderland

Like I said... Coming up with 19 different actual holidays might be a bit hard so if anybody can help me with that I would appricate the help....

2 ideas I already have are...

1. "Fill The Tube Sock" to "Ban The Tube Top" (Kicking Christmas off the list)
2. "Turkey" to "Trendy" (Shooting down Thanksgiving)
3. "Don't Want The Groundhog To See His Shadow, Dude!" to "I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend Too" (Scaring off Groundhog's Day)

The songs "Give It To Me", and "One Hit Wonderland" aren't on Youtube...  (I don't really know HOW the fishboys think that these two songs belong on their greatest hits record if Fishfans such as me don't even know about them). Oh well.... I might have to buy the CD (Which I was planning on getting anyways to parody those songs).

A reference guide that may be handy for you on this project.

Might have been B-sides...sometimes so-called "greatest hits" compilations are thrown together by the record companies without any input from the artists,(note Guns n Roses' issue with their GH album...and one particular band whose name unfortunately escapes me made their own "greatest hits" album by rerecording every song that they felt was "greatest hits" and independantly released it at a small profit...)

Exactly... I don't know how cover songs make a "greatest hits" album anyways... In this instance "Take On Me", in instance for Guns N' Roses, "Live and Let Die", and "Knocking On Heaven's Door".

Hi.  Just popping in to mention that RBF's version of "Hungry Like The Wolf" is possibly my favorite cover of all time.  Also, "Cake On Me" would be a good birthday parody.  k, I'll disappear again now.
