Postmodern Jukebox Covers "Mad World" Vaudeville Style W/ Puddles Pity Party & Haley Reinhart

New collaboration from Postmodern Jukebox featuring Puddles Pity Party and Haley Reinhart - a "vintage vaudeville" cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World."

Via Billboard:

"This remake came together quite quickly; Puddles stopped by unannounced, in typical Puddles fashion (he also surprised us at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago just recently!)," Bradlee wrote on his website. So I decided to give Haley a call to see if she was around to stop by, perhaps while wearing a fun hat!"

Bradlee said the difference in height made for a fun juxtaposition in the tradition of old vaudeville, as Puddles--the gloomy one -- begins the song as a dirge and the bubbly Reinhart joins in to liven things up.

"I chose “Mad World” because it’s simply one of the darkest, gloomiest songs to ever become a hit," said Postmodern Jukebox leader Scott Bradlee.

Great voices and personas here. Imminently watchable.

Postmodern Jukebox & Puddles Pity Party Cover Coldplay's "Viva La Vida"

Seven foot tall clown, Puddles Pity Party, joins Postmodern Jukebox for a second tune after rocking the internet with their first collaboration - a cover of Lorde's "Royals" - which to date has over 14 million views.

Puddles is back with a "Sad Clown" cover of "Viva La Vida" from (my fave rock band) Coldplay.

Clip description:

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."
