Just a little change of pace. My younger son alerted me over the weekend to the oeuvre of Puddles Pity Party, the band fronted by Puddles, the 6-foot-8 clown with the powerful voice.
Don’t know what to say about it, exactly. I just… sort of enjoyed the weirdness. Even though I don’t like clowns…
I was particularly attracted to the selection of the song to cover. “Royals.” When my grandson was just over a year old, he was obsessed with this song. He kept asking to see the original video on one screen or another. He called it “ah-ooh,” which was how he interpreted the sound made by background singers. (I think they’re saying “I’ll rule; I’ll rule…”)
Here’s Puddles doing another fave, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

That’s actually PostModern Jukebox. They’ve made a very successful career of taking songs and redoing them in a vintage style. Look for their version of Sweet Child of Mine. Love this band. They’re going to be in Charlotte this month, I think.
That video was WITH Postmodern Jukebox. But Puddles Pity Party is a thing, too. And note that the sign on the drum set promotes puddlespityparty.com…
