This is perhaps one of the strangest, yet most engrossing renditions of this song you’ll ever encounter.
This is Puddles the Sad Clown, and all showmanship aside, his voice is amazing, especially considering there’s no “studio magic” added. Sorry, Lorde, but this guy’s appropriately haunting vocals make your Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy seem like a Cracker Jack prize.
Hopefully we’ll hear more from Puddles (or his alter ego Michael Geier, @Kingsized).
And if you’re interested, the song can be purchased at Band Camp or Amazon for about a dollar…and allegedly over on that iTunes place.
