Lucy Dacus - "I Don't Wanna be Funny Anymore" (Official Music Video) 

I remember in 4th grade we wrote our names on a piece of paper and we went around the room writing nice things on each other's papers and mine only had "Funny". Everyone had so many mixed things like, "Pretty, Smart, Kind, Cool" and I was just, Funny.

This song hits me at a personal level because I feel like I have to be funny otherwise I have nothing else going for me. I just want a break:/

genuinely hits me at a personal level Id kill to not be such a jokester but I can't change my nature so easily

man this appeared on my Spotify today and I cried this is how I’ve been feeling for a few months now

We both played at house of blues tonight! Some of your fans told me about you after I finished my gig so I just had to look you up. I love your video- you sound great! Keep doin what you do girlie!

[Verse 1] I don't wanna be funny anymore I don't wanna be funny anymore Lately, I've been feeling like the odd man out I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud [Verse 2] I don't wanna be funny anymore I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one Is there room in the band? I don't need to be the front man If not, then I'll be the biggest fan [Verse 3] I don't want the joke to be on me Yeah, I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed Yeah, I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest I'll play guitar and I'll be the artist [Bridge] Try not to laugh I know it'll be hard I'm serious I know it's a first but [Verse 4] I don't wanna be funny anymore Yeah, I'll be the gossip, hear it through the grape vine Pass it on, she's done with the old times That funny girl doesn't wanna smile for a while

I learned about this song today and instantly liked it. She's a very talented and blessed woman.

Heard this for a long time on the radio but one day it just hit me - coolest thing around right now. She's the most!

Found her from NPR's SXSW playlist and i'm still not sick of this song. Really hit a chord with me tbh.

I always hear this on the radio, it's weird to see it only has 92,000 views

How can such a pure honest message be labeled with this kind of vitriol? Try to get in touch with your souls, naysayers. Rock on Lucy!

I thought I heard this playing, and turned around to see them on CBS this morning. Good stuff, glad to see them on TV :D

LOVE THIS (Heard it on The Majority Report}. LOVE her voice, the lyrics, musicianship & production. Kudos.

I liked it, I especially liked the ending, It fits the mood. Sometimes music is about doing your own thing and not caring what others think, because sometimes you just need to be yourself.

Lucy just won 3 Grammys with Julienne and Phoebe!!! 👏🏻

from my home virginia!! love her voice, musically gifted group! Richmond flavor, so true to my nature!!! Need the album♡♡

i happened to just come across this and i absolutely love it . . . and something about her voice makes me listen to it over and over . . . sounds great keep rocking!

I just heard her on cbs this morning i need her music, love it

I actually rlly like the video it's simple but fits the song perfectly

Hallelujah

I can't believe it took me two years to hear this one- such a great song!

Vingt ans tout rond, des grands yeux bleus où se noyer, et une voix profonde jouant les funambules sur des morceaux autant hantés que déjantés, cavalcades rock à la Courtney Barnett, ballades enjôleuses style Sharon Van Etten : telle est *Lucy Dacus*, auteure-compositrice-interprète descendue de sa Virginie natale son premier effort (_No Burden_, le 26/02) dans le sac à dos, où elle partage avec une belle candeur des textes intimes empli de douces quotidiennetés dont on s'arrache à regret. A suivre.

Family brought me here!

I hate that people don't appreciate good music

dope

Will be in me movie this song.

Expectations from others can be rough, 'like me, like me, I'll do A,B,C, and I do A,B,c... good enough now? Well tough, tired of performing to give you my gift of Entertainment anymore... your turn/leave me alone/don't expect it all the time/don't rely on me to make your life... etc. GREAT SONG! IMHO: Her 'acting' is NOT what MUSIC is about via 'her video performance' BTW. :D

Super Lucy❤

👌

Very impressive love your vocal style sweetheart

There have only been two times since Punk Rock that I've heard a song that wasn't and went, "WOW!" This is one of them.

My only wish for this song is that is were longer.

Thanks @bertkreischer this is badass

I related to this song too much that its scary

Reminds me of Sarah from TAWOG

Good

Personally attacked by this song at 10:30 on a Saturday

Lucy Dacus' first hit.

👂👍

lucy looks like the guy from blues clues here, cheers

Funny!

Wow eee

I get similar vibes when I listen to Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. The song is brilliant.

I thought this was x

Reminds me of echosmith

I don't want to be funny anymore!! This is the result of living a life of negativity. I'm glad I have a sunny disposition. Thank you Lord God for this gift called life; and this beautiful Earth that You have created as my playground😇😍. All glory and honor is Yours Almighty God, forever and ever, amen.

i feel like all my friends look at me like im patrick star and its just so demeaning.

00:44 - That blond girl

reminds me of napoleon dynamite

fuck all you haters, I'm feeling this, thanks Democracy Now for introducing me to this song! love indie media and indie music :)

Bert THE MACHINE Kreischer brought me here.

Can anyone send me the tab for the riff part?

king krule anyone?

you struck me at a very emotional moment, because this girl at "1:25-:31" has me in tears thinking about Piers Anthony girls.

use this as the opening needle drop for whatever next Harley Quinn movie you make next DC you cowards

sounds like 365 by exo

dash attack cancelled up smash

Why so few comments?

Sounds like Life Is Strange OST.

Lucy Dacus held the previous women's raw deadlift world record in the 198lb weight class at 573lbs, and set it in December of 2015. To add to Dacus's long list of impressive strength accomplishements, a few months in December 2016, she became one of the few women to squat 700 lbs.

Something tells me she doesn't have to worry about being the funny one.
