I could see this going either way, two great tracks. I voted Mondo Bongo and the atmosphere of Bummed Out City is just perfection.

I will never understand the weird love for Mondo Bongo, a perfectly serviceable album track.

I adore Mondo Bongo precisely because it is weird (at least for joe anyway). A Tymon Dogg tune i think, with admirably nonsensical lyrics by Joe.

Anyone not supporting Bummed Out City has never felt how perfectly it encapsulates getting the deserved silent treatment from someone you love. Mondo Bongo is a great track and probably the only time Joe expressed sensuality well in music.
