It shows more of the burning remains of the building. She passes a toaster and now it shows that she is in a burning fun house. She proceeds to kick over a toilet and picks up a framed photo.

There are 'evil clowns' throughout the area who are picking though the rubble and playing the instruments as the band.

The singer delivers with full force, colliding with lively guitar licks and hints of synth' and giving it a 81% approval. Something we havenвЂ™t seen from P!nk since ' Trouble' back in 2003!' BillboardВ also gave the song a very positive review, saying 'P!nk again displays her versatility on this complex number, which calls for blues, funk and rock vocal stylings that few other pop stars could pull off. There's More Where That Came From gave the song an A- stating, ''Funhouse' has the energy of ' So What' but surpasses it half-way through, when the song breaks into true rocker mode. I went to the studio the next day and told Tony Kanal from No Doubt, and he was like, 'That's a song.' Д¬ritical reception of 'Funhouse' was generally positive, with the song being regarded as one of the musical and lyrical highlights of the album. Just walking through the halls, it was like a museum. I had to go there one night and I had to crawl through the doggy door because I didnвЂ™t have a key.

I hadnвЂ™t been at my house in a really long time since Carey and I had broken up. Speaking with The Los Angeles Times about the writing of the track, P!nk revealed:

This was the first song I did with Tony Kanal of No Doubt and his writing partner Jimmy Harry.

Or wanting to forget it, but we all have those songs for every feeling and situation that we can think of and this is just a song LOL.Prior to the album's release, P!nk explained the song's meaning on her official website: 'ItвЂ™s about when the box youвЂ™re in doesnвЂ™t fit anymore, burn that fucker down and start a new one. We should rather learn from the experience than just burn it away. The only thing like I don't like this song is that she's burning the memories. It's that REALIZATION, that it's not what it was. When we have fun, we don't look at all the dangers and at hind sight that's when you can see what things are really like. We all had a part in our old/current relationship(s) where we thought of it as good times and it just turns bad. I mean it turns from 'funhouse' to 'full of evil clowns'. But this song speaks to me on a relationship basis, an ex at that (though current relationships work too)

I think of it more of a relationship that is well 'full of evil clowns'.
