Trivia/Info

  • This song was first mentioned in an interview in July 1999 by John Flansburgh published on alt.music.tmbg, and premiered on Dial-A-Song in January 2000.
  • TMBG Unlimited: "Flansburgh's unflinching fake German accent, along with the unwelcome idea of clown nudity uniquely qualifies this as an inappropriate song for kids. One of the first tracks for the children's album, this song was deemed "too creepy" to be for kids (by everyone)."
