1.) The voice shouting “He my nun!” on Midnite Vultures track “Hollywood Freaks” is actually a sample of David Duchovny.
2.) Did a guest voice on an episode of Animaniacs under a pseudonym.
3.) An early version of Guero contained a track called “Octorok Motherf****r” that has never been released.
4.) Big fan of the comic strip “Pickles.”
5.) It is not known whether the reason is physical or psychological, but he is incapable of hitting a C# in any octave; only skillful use of Auto-Tune conceals this.
6.) Favorite book: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
7.) Featured in an episode of Bosom Buddies at age 11 as Sonny’s bratty nephew who stumbles onto Kip and Henry’s ruse and threatens to rat them out if they don’t take him to a baseball game.
8.) The one and only time he has ever eaten olives was Christmas 1991, and there is a good reason he has never done so since.
9.) All of his songs are originally composed on a steam calliope, and it totally makes sense if you think about it.

You know, I was really unsure, despite the “bad comedy” tag, whether or not this was an actual, factual list of things I did not know, until I got to numbers 8 and 9. Any of the rest, even the auto-tune thing or Edith Wharton, are just odd enough to actually be true.
Bravo.
Bad comedy, my ass. Olives are nasty.
Which Animaniacs episode?
The one where Rita and Runt do Les Mis, surely.
