LOL, The Secret Song from Disco Volante is the song with the best story. Most people think it's about Jim Martin bitching about being kicked out of Faith No More. It's not.

"The story behind the song goes something like this: It was originally recorded without Trevor Dunn, and no one told him about it. He found a copy of it, and in response to its being kept a secret from him, he added the "old man" lyrics like, "I know the secret song now," and, "they kicked me out of the band."

To add another dimension to the secret nature of the song, knowledge of the new lyrics was kept from Mike Patton until shortly before Disco Volante was released. Basically, the name of the song and the lyrics are an inside joke, meaning relevant to the people in Mr. Bungle" - Mr. Bungle FAQ

Also, on the LP, the song is double grooved with Carry Stress in the Jaw. If you play that side of the record normally, you never hear the Secret Song. If you drop the needle at the beginning of the song and catch the other groove you will hear the Secret Song instead of Carry Stress in the Jaw. Of course on the CD you can't pull tricks like that so it just plays after Carry.
