Less than a half hour left in my Saturday and so I bring you a Saturday Song feature that needs little to no introduction. And to be honest, it’s more fun with next to no explanation. Maybe you’ve seen him already, but I just fell in love with this seven foot clown this week, and man, can he sing!
You can look up Puddles, the Sad Clown with the Golden Voice at PuddlesPityParty.com, like it says on his suit case, but the moment you watch one of the few videos on his YouTube channel, you will find scores of links to videos taken by fans, and unsuspecting strangers on their phones and cameras at various clubs from Seattle, Washington to Bethlehem, PA, including this sad moment in Atlanta. One of my favorites is a very serious, and apparently utterly spontaneous rendition of “Dancing Queen” at Joe’s Coffee Shop in Nashville.
This Saturday Song below was introduced to me by a friend on Facebook this week, and if you don’t recognize the original, you’ll have to look up Lorde’s version. But if you listen to the radio at all, even just in the store, you’ll recognize the lyrics quickly enough. And while Weird Al’s parody was priceless, THIS one, with Puddles and Postmodern Jukebox is undoubtedly my favorite cover of “Royals:”

Had seen anything about him before…thanks for the introduction…I must live a very sheltered life. 🙂

Isn’t it wonderful? 🙂 The sheltered life, I mean, not just the clown. 😉

So strange! Very interesting though. It puts things in a different perspective for sure. Thanks. k.

I know, isn’t it! Strange and yet oddly compelling for me. I keep finding myself singing his version of both of these songs, randomly throughout the day. If I were taller it could be a good Halloween idea. 🙂 I get stares as it is already.
