Pushing rope. For some guys, it’s a reality. For The No Talent Ass Clowns, it’s a song.

“Pushing Rope,” the new song from The No Talent Ass Clowns dropped last week to thundering praise. Hear what everyone is raving about:
Like many Ass Clown songs, Pushing Rope contains a chorus and not much more than that. “We don’t believe in writing stanza after stanza,” says singer Lars Gunblade. “It’s a pain in the ass. I’ve got much better things to do like bang groupies anyway. And let’s be honest here… people just want to hear the chorus anyway. We decided to skip a step and just came up with the chorus. Some would call that lazy. I call it good business sense.”
When asked why the ass clowns decided to write about pushing rope, Gunblade was candid. “Hey, look, when you’re hooking up five or ten times a day, this is bound to happen. You know what I’m talking about. You just gotta soldier on and get the job done, even though it’s sometimes a miracle if that happens.”
I Find “Pushing Rope” Funny, Say Vas Defrens
Guitarist Vas Defrens is bemused by the song. “I’ve never in my entire life had to resort to pushing rope,” says Defrens. “For me, it’s meaty and massive and there are no complaints from the ladies. For Lars, however, pushing rope is a daily reality. I’ve seen it happen countless times backstage when we’re trading groupies back and forth. Sometimes, I’ll just grab a warm beer and watch him desperately try to finish what he’s started. When he doesn’t, which is often, I ridicule him, push him out of the way and take over… you know, in keeping with the situation. It’s only fair to those chicks he was disappointing. I mean, that’s my take.”
The song features several guitar solos by Gunblade, which has caused Defrens some aggravation. “Lars told me that he was taking all of the solos from now on because I’ve been making fun of him pushing rope. I guess I had that coming.”
