"It Must Have Been Something I Said!" was the fifth comedy album from the Smothers Brothers (released April 15, 1964 on Mercury Records). It reached number 23 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The single "Jenny Brown" peaked at #84 on the 1963 Pop Singles chart. The album was recorded at The Ice House in Pasadena, California. The cover photograph showed Dick having just smashed a guitar over Tom's head, thereby justifying the album title as a word balloon.
