The second song on the second album of Mr. Bungle, one of my all-time favourite bands. The album is Disco Volante, again my personal favourite, which has had an excellent, thorough noding by DanHibiki.

Like much of the album, it has a creepy reverberant atmosphere and a varying, unsteady beat. It's also quite heavy on the organ (in fact, aside from the percussion and Patton's inimitable vocalisations, there are really no other instruments).

I think in sounds and pictures, not words and numbers, so it's hard to describe Chemical Marriage and do it justice. Instead I'm going to do the next best thing and node a bunch of utter nonsense disguised as lyrics. Wait! This isn't just any nonsense. This is the official nonsense, as offered by the band in their "unusual" Disco Volante scam (see this node for the details). Hey, now you don't have to spend that two bucks.
