Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Fancy Clown

In "Fancy Clown" MF DOOM Performs As Viktor Vaughn One Of The Many Aliases And Personalities He Has And Makes A Phone Call To Chew Out A Girl Who’s Cheated On Him With DOOM Ironically With His Usual Excellent Lyricism. The Song’s Title Comes From A Lyric Of ZZ Hill’s “That Ain’t The Way You Make Love” Which Was Sampled For This Song. DOOM Yeah I’m Used To Working Like That So It Wasn’t Hard For Me To Work With Him And The Spontaneity. For Instance Fancy Clown I Love That Song. Now The Beat Was Already Arranged Like That So I Had To Write Around What He Had There So He Had The Chorus And Kind Of Everything In There And I Had To Make Up A Concept Around It Like ‘what Is This Gonna’ Mean?’ And I Wrote Fancy Clown Around That Based On The Original Record I’m Not Sure Where It Was From? Madlib Oh You’re Taking About The Loop? The Loop Was ZZ Hill. D ZZ Hill? That Shit Is Ill. So The Chorus Is Already There So I Wrote The Whole Story Around The Arrangement. The Beat Was Already In The Middle The Verses Space Were There You Left The Spaces There For Me It’s Almost Like The Instrumental Was Made First And It Was Already As It Is. So Yeah Spontaneity I Learned From This Guy To Really Hone In On That. I Was Doing It Before But He Reminded Me. Source Bonafide Magazine
