365 Days of Mike Patton: “The Big Kahuna,” Faith No More (1997)

Though it was recorded during the Album of the Year sessions in 1997, “The Big Kahuna” is one of a handful of Faith No More songs that have filtered out to the public even though the tune was never actually released on an album.

Somehow, hearing a B-side like this makes it just a little more interesting when you listen to it. It feels kind of like you’re listening to something you were never supposed to hear.

It’s a frenetic, kinda crazy song that wanders all over the place. It’s certainly good enough to be on an actual FNM album. It’s a fun song, and sometimes, that’s all you need.

Previously from Album of the Year:

• “Last Cup of Sorrow” (Day 52)
• “Ashes to Ashes” (Day 48)
• “Naked In Front of This Computer” (Day 18)
