“Another Body Murdered” is a 1993 single by Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., taken from the soundtrack album for the film Judgment Night. The brainchild of Cypress Hill’s manager, Happy Walters, the soundtrack paired rock and hip-hop acts on each of its songs; Faith No More sought out the American-Samoan Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. after becoming interested in Samoan a capella singing. Charting in several countries, including Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, “Another Body Murdered” has received mixed reactions from music critics, with some seeing it as a harbinger of later acts such as Korn or Limp Bizkit, and others comparing it unfavourably to Public Enemy and Anthrax’s earlier crossover single “Bring the Noise”.

Production
The 1993 film Judgment Night featured a soundtrack album composed entirely of collaborations between hip-hop and rock acts; the soundtrack was the brainchild of Cypress Hill manager Happy Walters. He was inspired to create the pairings based on several influences in the early 1990s―the emergence of Rage Against the Machine’s rap-influenced rock sound, and the success of Cypress Hill opening for a Pearl Jam concert in Seattle.

Following the release of their 1992 album Angel Dust, Faith No More received several offers to appear on compilation albums, with bass player Billy Gould feeling that the Judgment Night offer sounded unique, described it as “something that we could do that’s kind of cool”. Gould and singer Mike Patton requested to work with the American Samoan group Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. after becoming interested in Samoan a capella music, and were impressed by the latter group’s instrumentation. Faith No More’s guitar player at the time, Jim Martin, did not wish to participate, so Gould provided the guitar parts for the single, with Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. providing bass guitar. During the music video shoot for the single, the band staged an intervention for keyboard player Roddy Bottum, who had been dealing with a heroin addiction at the time; Bottum successfully quit the drug after attending rehab as a result.

Release
“Another Body Murdered” was released as a single in September 1993. It subsequently charted in several countries, including Ireland, where it spent four weeks in the Irish Singles Chart, reaching a peak position of 13 New Zealand, where it reached number 41 during a two-week chart run; and the United Kingdom, reaching a high point of number 26 during its three weeks in the UK Singles Chart.

You can almost imagine Fred Durst’s cousin Marvin excitedly calling him to play this over the phone.
–Writer Sean O’Neal on the song’s influence.

Reception
“Another Body Murdered” has been described by Jeremy Allen of The Guardian as a “grim dog-eat-dog tale of foul play” that serves to showcase Mike Patton’s versatile vocal range. Writing for The A.V. Club, Sean O’Neal described the song as having “a chest-puffing, smack-talking energy that’s undeniable”. O’Neal cited it as an influence on later bands such as Korn or Limp Bizkit, stating “you can definitely hear the ground being laid for the scores of bands who would strip Faith No More of all its oddball eccentricity, then regurgitate only its meatiest chunks”. A contemporary review in Spin magazine by Mark Blackwell was unfavourable towards the release, finding it to be overly derivative of the earlier Anthrax and Public Enemy collaboration “Bring the Noise”, writing that “it’s a concept that wears thin fast”.

Lyrics
… Turn me up
… Now I gotta murder da’ murder ta’ get away
The eyes gotta peer now the fool’s gotta pay
And if they pay then they pay with they life
So watch another man try to hold on to his life
… Cause’ I keep lookin’ and huntin’ just like a lion
Let the sucka’ know that it’s them that be dyin’
I show no remorse to the source of the tales
And if they tell then the hungry better battle
… Aw I keep it comin’ and comin’ across the table
And if I miss, I never miss, cuz Im able
I’m lookin’ forward and I’m lookin’ over my shoulder
And I’ll make a simple sin to make the bonus
But I’ll never bless the rest, so never cease
I’ll do a motherf**ker with this restin’ piece
Cause’ what they saw they never seen or even heard of
And if they live, it’s just another body murdered…
…another body murdered…
… I’m makin’ deals for deals that make a kill
And anyone looking gonna’ get that ass killed
I’m livin’ like a criminal and criminal I be
And I’m respected in the hood like a ‘G’
But if they think I’m blasted then they gone
I’m takin’ off they’re head with a motherf**kin’ chrome
I gotta pay the play the pay ta’ get crooked
And I ain’t ‘BOO’ til’ I dump another fool
I see the fool runnin’ and runnin’ but where they goin’?
Had to witness my murder now they knowin’
What they blast so blast so at the pad
I’ll have the thing fixed… My life was goin’ in a flash…
If I went to say
—- that’d be my ass
Searching for these fools while stepping cross the squares
Cause they can’t hide and hide and that’s real
And what you just witnessed with your eyes got ta’ kill…
…another body murdered…
… Bang your head to this… Turn me up!…another body murdered
… …Faith No More…
I had to get it together to watch a body get murdered, ehh…
Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E…
… I have to get it together to watch a body get murdered
… Bang your head… come on… Bang your head…
…Bang your head… Bang you head to this…
… I see a fool an’ I try an’ test the fool
I testify that the fool will have to lose
Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. gotta keep it low
Cause the brother that was shot with my motherf**kin Uz.ooooh…
As I bail with my head up
Round they crowd someone kicks my luck and then I get up
All these busters on my trail
Well they get where I’m at, but the fail cause’ they can’t bail
I keep bailin’ I been stickin’ my sh*t ever since they’ve had me jailed in
But it ain’t all about servin’ time…
It’s about breakin’ down the verd(ict) and servin’ mine…
… Another pass or passive
You wanta’ play it by the Ridd did the king start blastin’
All these fools goin’ up they sigh
They try to test mine
They never get to know why
Oooh how long can you live when a gangster like the Ridd keep smokin’ that ass…
… Bang your head to this…
… Turn me up… I had to get it together to watch a body get murdered.ehh
Faith No More… I had to get it together to watch a body get murdered
Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E… Murder well I won…
