It takes a lot of nerve to cover Super Mario Brothers in the grand year of 1991 when it wasn’t cool to do so, when chiptunes and nerdcore and post-ironic low-fi didn’t exist. Check out how angry the crowd is (not safe for work).

Mr. Bungle had that nerve. Now of course frontman Mike Patton has been The Darkness from The Darkness and the Bionic Commando from Bionic Commando (and the Anger Sphere from Portal), and any band doing this today is likely to get a much warmer reception. It all goes in great big circles.
