Not That Funny Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
[Verse 1]
It’s not that funny is it?
When you don’t know what it is
But you can’t get enough of it
It’s not that funny is it?
[Chorus]
Don’t blame me!
Please, please, please!
I didn’t want to bleed so
I didn’t want to be this late
So don’t make me wait!
[Verse 2]
Well, it’s not that funny is it?
No one to turn you on
All your hope is gone
And it’s not that funny is it? (Yeah)
[Chorus]
So don’t blame me!
Please, please, please!
You’re here ’cause I say so
Didn’t wanna be this late
So don’t make me
Don’t make me wait!

About Fleetwood Mac’s Not That Funny from Tusk (1979)
Lindsey Buckingham shared in the
liner notes
:
This was directed at Stevie a little bit. There’s something we are still having to deal with as a band: ‘What’s important here? People thinking you’re cool or thinking you’re cool yourself?’ It’s more how you feel about yourself, isn’t it? This is a classic pitfall of the entertainment industry. It draws people to it who are looking for a Band-Aid to fix things that have happened in their lives. The celebrity culture we live in is a very Roman manifestation of something gone a little wrong with the value system. It doesn’t speak of substance; it only speaks of visibility. It’s about not buying into other people’s idea of you — that’s the important thing.
The guitar sound is just a Stratocaster; but I love using the [Variable Sound Oscillation]. I just slow the machine down, come up with a picking part like that, double or triple it and tweak the VSO on either side so that it’s slightly out of tune, and the whole thing comes out with all this phasing.

What has the media said about the song?

Like many
Tusk
highlights, ‘Not That Funny’
began as a solo Buckingham experiment, down in his home studio. It has lyrics in common with
Tusk
‘s ‘I Know I’m Not Wrong,’ but it’s raunchier and rougher. ‘You have to allow yourself to get totally drawn into the music,’
he said in 1980
. ‘Once you’re there, the hardest thing to do is let yourself do anything outside that. I’d come out of my basement studio after about six hours, and Carol, my girlfriend, would be sitting in the living room watching TV or something, and I just wouldn’t have much to say. My mind would be racing. I love it.’
