"Never Lose Your Sense of Humor" is a duet between Paul Jabara and Donna Summer from Jabara's The Third Album. It was released as a single in late 1979 to little success, perhaps partly down to the huge success of Summer's single that was out at the time ("No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", a duet with Barbra Streisand, which coincidentally was co-written by Jabara. The format tempo of the song follows the same one used for Summer's "Last Dance" release written by Jabara as well. The full title of the song, "Foggy Day/Never Lose Your Sense of Humor", begins as a slow tempo song ("Foggy Day") and progresses into an up-tempo dance track. The song's title is also indicative of Jabara's personal views as he tried repeatedly to intersperse humor into many of his recording and theatrical ideas. The song has been released on CD only once. It is on the CD, "Greatest Hits... and Misses" released in 1989. The song has been edited for this greatest hits package from the original 1979 lp release (7:21 from the original 9:46).
