Kinda funny how this song sounds so dark, ominous, creepy, and disturbing but it's literally just about him having friendly chats with Mike Bordin from Faith No More on the phone
@@GodfatherVeteranChild Late to the party, but Krinkle was a pseudonym used by De Niro's character Travis Bickle in the legendary doomer movie Taxi Driver.

Moist Chungo That’s one of the components. But I think the name Mr. Krinkle just inherently sounds creepy to me. And then the part where the lyrics say, “Come on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why”, also adds to the creep factor. Great song though. Just heard it for the first time a month ago and I love it.
Kathryn Winburn ( wife's tablet ) I did the same thing to my kids. Starting with the cheese cd. Now I have to find out which one has what cd. I'm 65 now and still listening ! Gotta love these guys, we used to hang around with a couple that if it got too late in their stay all I had to do was put on Primus. Saved me from many a hangovers by Primus. Great couple but...
I’m honestly wondering why Primus chose the most ominous, terrifying sound ever for a song that’s literally just about Les having friendly chats with the drummer from Faith No More
Mirabelle Waters Yep! “Mr. Krinkle” was a fake name that Mike Bordin from FNM used when checking into hotels. The lyrics of the song are referencing chats that him and Les had together on the phone. I wonder why Les decided to make the song with such a normal and lighthearted subject sound so spooky and dark haha
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod wow I always thought it was some creepy song about a monster or killer but then I read the lyrics and I'm like: "what?" But I guess he's just super creative, I can dig it
Mr Krinkle always reminds me of Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, telling the secret service agent his name was Henry Krinkle. I even had that as a username for awhile.
Doing crank and listening to primus is literally the best tweaker music that any crazy junkie music you can try to make out when you've been up for two weeks and haven't eaten in days kinda shit you'd not let your grandparents hear because they would spoil the fun
This is like the musical equivalent of touching wet bread. Its not harmful, dangerious or even all thay disturbing. And yet I'm stupendously creeped out.
This is at least 3rd hand, but apparently Mr. Krinkle is a Mike Bordin (Faith No More) alias when checking into hotels due to a prank he pulled on Claypool. The song is (roughly) about conflict within the band that led to Jim Martin being fired/quitting the band
(sigh) Dammit Primus, why? Your instrumentals are deliciously menacing. Why do you always make the lyrics funny? Come on Mr. Claypool, tell me why. Cone on Mr. Claypool, won't you please tell me why, tell me why.
Lol, "Heavy Hometown New-Wave, Cold-Filtered, Low Calorie, Dry." Somewhere in the depths of the Internet, this is a genre of something resembling music.
My good friend Alan Wagoner showed me this song way back when, and I was instantly creeped out by it, and strangely attracted to it. Primus tends to do that to people. That's the mind of Les Claypool for you. Lol.
The ending of this is so catchy and disturbing. Also, regarding the meaning of the song -- yes it might actually be an innocent conversation, but imo Les knew that it also sounds like some weird schizo serial killer talking to himself or someyhing. He definitely knew it sounded like something a lot more sinister.
I wish they would do this song more often at their shows! Throw in a couple of big ass blow up pigs and/or clown and have everyone in the crowd throwing around glow sticks. The Wonka show they did kinda recently was a trip but more mellow trippy rather than hype trippy (If that makes sense).
+Gavin McKay it’s a reference to a conversation with the band during a concert, a fan said “you guys rock!” And Les replied “Nah, we suck!” It kinda stuck after that
I didn’t smoke weed in the 90s when this came out and still love it. I tripped acid one time later in the 90s and wish I would’ve thought of listening to it then, it would’ve been awesome.
I have loved this song since day one. I thought "crazy person" as well as "man sitting on his porch complaining about life and his team movign away". You think "crazy", too? interesting. Sam
It's inspired by conversations he had with his friend, Michael bordin (drummer for faith no more and Ozzy). Bordin used "mr.krinkle" as a pseudonym at hotels.
Mr. Krinkle in place of Mr. Crowley is my guess.......Mr Krinkle won’t you ride my white horse/ Mr Krinkle It’s symbolic of course/ Was it polemically sent?/ I wanna know what you meant.........just a thought............
Kinda funny how this song sounds so dark, ominous, creepy, and disturbing but it's literally just about him having friendly chats with Mike Bordin from Faith No More on the phone
Whats funny is that Mike voiced the darkness in the video game called literally the darkness, i didnt know that this was the meaning of Mr Krinkle
One more reason why this song is genious.
Like talking to my bestie on the "celle"😅
...(rhymes with tele) *gets yoinked off stage by a hook*
@@GodfatherVeteranChild Late to the party, but Krinkle was a pseudonym used by De Niro's character Travis Bickle in the legendary doomer movie Taxi Driver.
I came here to see if this song was a Travis reference.
My enjoyment of this band's music gets bigger and bigger as i get older....it's like fine wine.
yup
Agreed
Damn right.
How old are you, and how long have you been listening to primus? Idk if ⟟ could’ve worded that better
@@DisLikedLoverOnTheMoon15 I'm turning 40 in October and I've been listening to primus since 94 or 95
Primus is the soundtrack of the mind of an insane child
Me
It true,y is insane.....
@ well, actually, the other way around because Primus was around for about 15 years before Mr. Bungle.
@@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance ya i know its still funny sounding

This song seems so fucking terrifying for some reason to me. I love it!
To me too, see the original video, there's a carrito that seels "Delicias Oaxaca".
You should see the video.
When I first heard this song and saw the music video, it creeped me the hell out and I had trouble sleeping because of that fucking pig man
it's the amount of discordance in the melody.

Welp. I fell through the rabbit hole of whacky music that no one I know would listen to. Thanks Dad, love you for that. Hahaha

Uncle was a drummer and listened to tool and Primus down in mexico, mexican drummer uncle is the reason why i listen to what i do, so thankful.

Primus sucks!
@@kylekarcherwhy are you here then
@@Donut-sw3zd
I can tell you haven't been a fan of primus for very long.
I heard this on the radio today and when i did my mouth dropped and all i could say was holy shit.
That's pretty hard to say with your mouth hanging open!
I wish they played that on the radio where I’m from
this was a song I hated my first time listening. and here I am back every weekend
primus sucks
When I first heard it, it was absolute suffering. But something about it made me look it up again. I love the almost perverted feel it has
@@tracymorgan2983 yes it does
Mr.Krinkle sounds like a good clown name.
It really is. Look up Mr Krinkle cereal commercial. Creepy old clown.
missfabolous000 I've seen that.
U got some going for your brain you fucking wallop
Mr Krinkle always reminds me of Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, telling the secret service agent his name was Henry Krinkle. I even had that as a username for awhile.
Madness Combat animator Krinkels bases his name on this song. One of the biggest main character in the series is a clown.
i feel like if there was an instrumental of this it would make a good boss battle theme
the caped coconut or good soundtrack for a horror movie
Glad someone else agrees, used this for a boss battle theme in my last D&D session
Itll be a giant pig
@@gussysussy47 ^
There is a boss on this planet? Show me

I don't always listen to primus. But when I do so does everyone else in my neighborhood

That was a good one I love it
HELL YEAH

You never touched soggy bread.
They played this at Aftershock this past weekend. FUCKING EPICCCCCCC
Nitrousoxide2k dude I was there , best performance ever
16yr old me....1996 and Mr Krinkle....now those are good memories. Love my 90s tunes.....so good. Like apple pie for my memories
I saw a beef commercial before the video
Oh please...
At least you didn't see a pork commercial amirite?

*listening to this while standing on a ledge*
Insanity now has a soundtrack, thank you Primus!
Les Claypool: genius or madman? We may never know!
Couldent of said it better myself
Possibly both... probably both...
insanity now has a soundtrack!! thats is what i was thinking too
Both but shit we all madmen now
Damn, haven't heard this in years. My childhood. 😵
Ler's using so much chorus on that guitar that it starts to sound like a heavy metal accordion at times... :P
This is moonshinin' music
Paul Smith Mmhmmm.
I like it
Larry's guitar work on this song is absurd. Much original
Why do I get the feeling of walking around, all stretched out like a piece of gum when I listen to this?
mr krinkle is one of my favorite songs. its just so good :D
My dad just introduced me to this band and now I live off of it
How old are you (at what age did he introduce you?)
I love filthy old school Primus
Big mother fucking stand up bass alien music.
God, so do I. The stranger the better
great song to listen to while butchering an aanimal
Wow never thought of it that way but you're totally fucking right
@@ryanmarks1567 calm down bud
bad song to mute while birthing a treefort
Like the whole of the pork soda album si good for that
I'm taking a backflip out of reality whilst listening to this...
they CAN all be zingers!
That album art is pure nightmare fuel
Lol, "Heavy Hometown New-Wave, Cold-Filtered, Low Calorie, Dry."

Nathan Baker I want to know what this genre sounds like
Its Funk metal
Goblin rock
@@subeeinsuresh5896 I prefer the Alternative Hillbilly Country Funk Metal genre
This sounds like being in Ren and Stimpys world
My dad had me listen to this and loved it,so now I blast it when I drive and it's creeps my neighbor's out looking at me like a weirdo. Well GOOD 😏
My dad downloaded this onto a CD for me and made me listen to it when I was getting into drugs as a teenager,😉
Well, your dad's fucking awesome

Is Primus gluten free?
Yep!
+Opinion Onion yeah well that's just like your opinion man
Nah man, primus sucks
non gmo too
Pork Soda isn't
It's beer backwash. Beer is wheat-based.
Damn, I miss the 90s!
Listening to this whilst playing fallout 2 hits different

+Brad Roe he'll yea
+Jano Perez I was there too!!!! primus blew my fucking MIND!!!!!!!!
Jamie Lake-Boyd I wasn't really a fan of primus but it was different to see them live, now I think differently
Another great song from our era!
i knew about primus for years, but holy shit i love that cello in this song so fuckin rad man
Primus have some really great songs
Dianza jig is more than great
Srimus Pucks !
You suck bitch
Am I right Folks damn straight
Joshua Brunson Ha! Fuckin' moron doesn't get it.
I know its a reference to a Primus song, but what song is it?
+Gavin McKay it’s a reference to a conversation with the band during a concert, a fan said “you guys rock!” And Les replied “Nah, we suck!” It kinda stuck after that
thank you!
There's nothing like primus. Never will be again.
Primus is the official soundtrack to the mind of a child that has had to much crap at Halloween
Delicias Oaxaca!!!
Damn right it's good!!
Now I'm understand how sounded soundtrack of my mind when I was 11
Tweaked and Wack ! I Love This !
I named my cat Mr Krinkle and nobody knows why!!!!
The bass tho...
The scratchy cello.
Mr. Krinkle wants to join the Secret Service.
The Secret Service wants to join Mr. Krinkle.
Hell yes this song is dopeness
Oink!
I see where Little Nightmares get their inspiration from.
glad you covered the pigs mouth xD scary stuff..
Doesn't that Pork Soda just make your tummy rumble?
favorite song
am i the only one who doesn't find this song terrifying??? it's so fun and funky and the cello goes fucking INSANE !
this hits the cold meds hard
Man Pork Soda is such a trippy album. Good thing I have weed.
some the roots bro, you don't get as high but if you shake off the dirt it probably won't hurt ya
I didn’t smoke weed in the 90s when this came out and still love it. I tripped acid one time later in the 90s and wish I would’ve thought of listening to it then, it would’ve been awesome.
Pork soda is so one of my favorite albums from any artist😅
Sounds like the intro to an old video game.
Like that!
Yep!
Like the song keep it uppppp
Heard this at Free Press Summer Fest last week. It was fucking amazing.
this should be be the soundtrack to every stalker
So then does everything happen for a reason? This song is brilliant!
Whoever put it he lyrics is a dumbass though.
So many words are wrong.
Fuck ya love how the ending goes hard
So *_o m i n o u s ._*
More excited about the Bill amd Ted Face The Music movoe ad I saw prior to the track, honestly.
Yo that's funny because primus was in bill n ted 2
I have loved this song since day one. I thought "crazy person" as well as "man sitting on his porch complaining about life and his team movign away". You think "crazy", too? interesting.
Sam
Reminds me of my dad when I was a kid lol
beast mode
wheres the comment that has the lyrics
Anyone else listening to this in 2020?
It is the band Primus' slogan, meaning that you would say it if you really like primus
Track 11 of pork soda album
damn how did you get 1080P on this
❤️
The idea of someone aircelloing makes me smile. Only Primus fans...
beat is freakin awesome the pig on the other hand....is scary.. O.o Fav part: Cmon' mr krinkle tell meh why reason: sounds coolio
A pig only Ms.Piggy could love.
The Boys! 🥰
Who else thought this was a primus song for a bit lmao, mr krinkle could also work hella nicely 😂
1k here
Les with a cello is the best.
It's an upright bass.
Kleneu66 no it's acelloin the video
reelphresh bass
reelphresh it's a double bass.
Sounds as a cello.
I am primus for life
East Bay! West Coast!!
I could really go for a shot of pork soda
I'm sorry, i don't understand... is that a fan thing or do you mean it literally? i am new to Primus.
Primus must have foreseen the election of tRUMP and wrote this.
What about mis krinkle
The cello scared me
So this is where the creator of madness got his name
the drums reverb
I do not understand the meaning of this song lol
