Viva La Vida (from Super Bowl 50) - Sad Clown Style Coldplay Cover ft. Puddles Pity Party

Two years ago on Halloween, a very tall, golden-voiced sad clown named Puddles made his video debut with PMJ; since then, he's become a pop culture phenomenon, touring the world and contemplating the human experience. Here he is, returning to where it all began to reflect on this journey with a cover of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida."

I always knew what Viva La Vida was about but I don't think I ever really UNDERSTOOD it until I heard this clown singing it. He sang it with all the emotion of a once mighty person who's fallen from grace. Damn Puddles.

[Tefixitafuckme]

As a non-native English speaker, I thank Puddles for letting me understand each of the words he sings

[walderlopes]

Puddles don't just sing, he gives life to whatever he sings. It's amazing.

[rebeccaelise]

This version almost sounds like it could be a big sweeping "fall from grace" ballad in a Broadway show. Just gorgeous.

[rolanslide]

obsessed with the PMJ covers featuring Puddles, both because he's incredibly talented but also because it's played completly straight despite the nearly 7ft clown being the main performer

[DeadnCold]

I just can't stop watching this video, Puddles' rendition of this song just has this amazing and powerful honesty about it that the original lacks. You really believe he is a fallen king looking up at all he lost, with regret and a little shame.. It's just beautiful.

[toaster_]

when he's the one singing it the story of the song seems even grander more beautiful and all the more tragic

[tonywizdard]

I want to hear this guy cover Sound of Silence

[blindreddragon]

The combination of his amazing voice and the sad clown make up makes this arguable one of the most beautiful, soul touching songs I've ever heard. I tip my hat to you sir, thank you for blessing the world with this.

[defective]

His voice makes me float.





WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE

My 8 year old kid just said, hey its Puddles... he was in the other room and just heard his voice without seeing him... A tear to my glass eye. He is learning what a great singer sounds like! Love Puddles!

[AWFguitar]

Great job Puddles and band! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I'd love to see you live.

[Nihilnovus]

been counting the days for when puddles would collaborate with postmodem jukebox again and not disappointed

[sabinaliu]

Every time I hear Puddles sing, I feel like the lyrics and meaning of the song really come through.

[craigwest]

Anyone else finally understanding the lyrics to these songs??! I love this guy! We don't hear voices like his anymore!

[RodrigoBarbosaBR]

If I had any words, I would write them now.
Absolutely amazing.

[GalacticLion]

This song was made for Puddles. This song makes me sad but I can't stop listening. Wonderful!

[ALINA-sxro]

This is actually brilliant, it could fit in some sort of broadway production where a sad clown remembers the days he ruled the circus.

[jeremyromand]

Puddles is amazing but these musicians are just top notch too! Love it

[emmabarker]

I love his covers, but I'd also love to see Puddles in a musical theatre production. He's more than a singer; he's a storyteller with his performance.
