Travolta (song)
"Travolta" (later retitled "Quote Unquote") is a song by American experimental rock band Mr. Bungle, released in 1991 as the opening track and promotional single from their self-titled debut album. Controversy Although the song was originally titled "Travolta", it was quickly changed to "Quote Unquote" due to legal threats. The song's music video, directed by Kevin Kerslake, was banned from MTV due to its images of the band members hanging from meat hooks. Lyrics AllMusic believes the song to be a tribute to John Travolta and fellow actor Patrick Swayze, although it also contains references to Adolf Hitler. A biography of Travolta by Bob McCabe was titled ''Quote, Unquote'' after the song. The main theme from the 1978 film '' Grease'', in which Travolta starred, is interpolated twice in the song.

Music is the arrangement of sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content. Music is generally agreed to be a cultural universal that is present in all human societies. Definitions of music vary widely in substance and approach.

Diverse activities are involved in the creation of music, and are often divided into categories of composition, improvisation, and performance. Music may be performed using a wide variety of musical instruments, including the human voice.

Songs Written By Mike Patton
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are oft ...

Funk Metal
Funk metal (also known as thrash-funk or punk-funk) is a subgenre of funk rock and alternative metal that infuses heavy metal music (often thrash metal) with elements of funk and punk rock. Funk metal was part of the alternative metal movement, and has been described as a "brief but extremely media-hyped stylistic fad".
