Released on Island Records Fungo Mungo (another woeful, childish cover), although not as irritating as Psychefunkapus and the rest of the funk metal brigade, are still a scrambled bag of mixed nuts. 'Shut The Fuck Up' - oh, I wish you would sometimes. All my nightmare's came true with the invasion of funk metal and what little talent there was out there got completely smothered by this kind of stuff. This is like Vanilla Ice trying to be 24-7-Spyz, failing miserably. This is novelty music, a few soul chants, a bit of silliness, a few cop sirens and scratches and enough funk bass to make a porn soundtrack. Fair dues, Fungo Mungo (another atrocious name) are more bearable than most, but this playground fad was never going to last, and yet it's quite tragic that this kind of alternative 'rock' wiped out '80s hair metal for quite a while, and yet when looking back, I'd rather listen to Poison than this trash.
5.5/10
