Steve Martin was on 'The Colbert Report' (Weeknights, 11:30PM ET Comedy Central), were he performed a song from his new bluegrass album, 'Rare Bird Alert.'

But before doing so, he told Colbert about different types of banjo playing techniques, including one known as "clawhammer."

"Clawhammer?" Colbert repeated. "It sounds like a disability ... "

"Or I think of it as a 'Kama Sutra' position," Martin shot back.

Well, you can certainly learn a lot about a man from what he thinks "clawhammer" sounds like.
