Be One of Us #27 - "Victims of a Clown" / myLot

September 8, 2019 10:40pm CST

Of the 50 songs in this countdown, all of which cleverly have the word "of" in the title, only two of them can be considered as being new, having been released in 2018. This is the 2nd newest. I am not really ranking the songs in any particular order, just going with whatever strikes my fancy at the time, but we are at #27: "Victims of a Clown" by Ministry. I'm not even going to tell you which clown! I will tell you that you can cross Pennywise, Bozo, Clarabell, Krusty, Scabs, Weary Willie, Dodo, Ronald McDonald, Blinky, Jack, and Shakes off of your list of probables. No, this particular clown is both terrifying and unintentionally hilarious. Let's just say that, at age 60, Ministry leader Al Jourgensen still is not afraid to speak his mind, and it's no accident that a certain color appears in the lyrics. "Victims of a Clown" is the 3rd track from Ministry's 2018 album, AmeriKKKant (their 14th,) and a groovy industrial metal tune that harkens back to the group's glory days. Nice job, Uncle Al, very nice indeed! (Info verified by Wikipedia)

I say chucky or Trump. Chucky is more less a clown the doll not the coach. I already told you how I love John Gruden. Orange is a color. I am not sure about the rest of Mylot but I always think Ministry isa treat. No one plays them anymore being radio stations except the or 2 MTV did, now nope, can't have a brain band here.

- Not Chucky, and certainly not Jon Gruden. I don't get the impression that Uncle Al cares much for sports, although I did read that he was on the ski team at the University of Colorado when he was there. Uncle Al, not Gruden.
