Absolutely No Sense Of Humor

“Absolutely No Sense Of Humor” is a true story about something that really happened to me in Olympia, Washington.

Andy Dick is in the video directed by Mischa Livingstone but Andy Dick is not the comedian the song is about. That guy really is named Sam.

This track was recorded and mixed in one day at Bruce Witkin’s place in LA.

Lyrics

ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF HUMOR

There’s a comedian in this town
who gets mad if you call him a clown
even though clown’s just a synonym for his profession
So, let’s just call him Sam
the big comedian
with absolutely no sense of humor about the word clown

Well he chased me down the street outside of Obsidian
Shoutin’ and threatenin’
Man, he wasn’t kiddin’
and if it happened to you
you’d believe that it was true
but since it happened to me
you probably think it didn’t

Well I did this guy the grave injustice
of inviting him to do my show
It didn’t go as well as he’d hoped
and he blamed me for the whole situation
in an angry after-show text
that led me to mutter under my breath
“Aw…I made the clown cry”

That’s why he chased me down the street outside of Obsidian that night
Shoutin’ and threatenin’
Man, he wasn’t kiddin’
He was lookin’ for a fight sayin’…
“You called me a clown
You called me a clown
Admit it you called me a clown”
That’s what he shouted as he ran me down

Ain’t that hilarious?
Come on, Sam!
That’s fuckin’ hilarious, man!

There’s a comedian in this town
who flips out if you call him a clown
He’s got absolutely no sense of humor about the word clown
So if you see him clownin’ around
don’t make the mistake of callin’ him a clown
even under yer breath when he’s not around

He might chase you down the street outside of Obsidian
That’s right!
Shoutin and threatenin’
Man, he won’t be kiddin’
He’ll be lookin’ for a fight
and when it happens to you
I’ll believe that it’s true
‘Cause it happened to me…
