Because taking a song from a children's movie and making it creepy is about as imaginative as doing the song completely straight. Marilyn Manson already got here.

I think there is way more going on on this album than most people are opening up to realize. The first time I listened to it I wasn’t taken in immediately, but there was definitely enough to make me listen too again and again, just like most of my favorite records, they take few listens. I think the Fungi Ensamble are a great dimension to Primus. I think the production, the vocals, the percussion, the haunting bass tones and the minimal LaLonde (Gilmoresque/Magic Band) guitar solo’s are all deadly. I love the creepy, dark, obscure and funny subject matter. I think it’s one of the most adventurous and coolest records I’ve heard in ages. I’m attracted. I think Primus are on to something wonderful, again, but different. One tiny winchy little issue I might have is the Oompa Loompa’s, I think that they are positioned too close to each other, but apart from that I think it’s definitely one of the best records around at the moment. Cheers Primus.

My guess is that anyone who deems this as "shit" is no older than 13 - 15. Which makes them angry kids on the internet. Why? Because you obviously don't sense the amazing parallels to the chocolate factory as a whole. It's creepy, it's trippy, it's somewhat cheerful.. it's all there perfectly punctuated. That being said, it's definitely not primus' best. Or Claypool for that matter.

Ok, this is about as primus as it gets, so if you didn't like ALLL the other strange avant garde songs from their other albums, you're not going to like this one, sorry. I like this, personally, Though the whole Charley and The Chocolate Factory has been done before, also with pointing out the creepy aspect.The beginning seems vary avant garde to me, or maybe just claypool, its hard for me to tell some times, but the jam at the end is vary tite and tasty.

It was certainly no Green Naugahyde. Thankfully.
