Tunnel of Love is the fourth EP by American hip hop group Insane Clown Posse, released on June 11, 1996 by Psychopathic Records. It is the third "sideshow" entry in the group's Dark Carnival saga. The EP was released a day after their contract with Jive Records expired and one day before they signed to Hollywood Records in 1996. The album features Juggalo-styled "love songs". An XXX Version which contains subjective cover art and a bonus track was also released at this time, and has since become a collector's item among fans of Insane Clown Posse.

The EP contains seven studio tracks and an intro. The only featured guest on the EP is Legz Diamond.

[edit] Trivia

 Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
  • At the end of "When I Get Out" there is another game show (Like the one in The Terror Wheel) to hear the name of the next Joker's card
  • "Cotton Candy" is longer on the XXX Version, than the regular edition, as it contains the woman "finishing" at the end.
  • Insane Clown Posse has since released a "Super Balls" t-shirt which has remained a merchandise favorite ever since.
  • The album's booklet contained an advertisement for a then-upcoming Legz Diamond album titled Crime Family which was ultimately never released.
  • The cover art of the XXX Version was actually the existing boxart cover of an unknown adult film, with Shaggy 2 Dope's head superimposed over the face of the male actor.
  • The track "Cotton Candy" contains a slowed down sample of "Carnival of Carnage" from the group's debut Carnival of Carnage.
  • The track "Ninja" can be deemed responsible for the common "What up ninja?" greeting among Juggalos, although the phrase possibly came from other sources earlier than the recording of the track.
  • The track "Stomp" can be deemed responsible for the common "Woop! Woop!" cheer often used by members of the Juggalo community, although "Woop! Woop!" can be heard in Insane Clown Posse songs as early as 1994.
