"Clown" is the third single by nu-metal band Korn from their self-titled debut album. The video for this song, directed by McG actually referrs to lead singer Jonathan Davis painful experiences from highschool, where he was constantly picked on and ridiculed. The song itself is about how people try to be something they're not in order to be accepted instead of just being themselves. What inspired Davis to write this song, though, was an early gig where a skinhead was booing them and telling them to "go back to Bakersfield!" Jonathan kneeled down to hear him and the guy actually punched Davis in the face. The skinhead was all tattooed and looked like a clown, so that was the inspiration for the title of the song and also the line "Hit me clown, because I'm not from your town."
