Tim DeLaney did sound.
Andrew Woodman did pictures.
I'm puddled out...Sad clown, 3 chords and a telecaster...What am I missing here????
Everything.
8 chords not 3, and it is not even a Fender, much less a Telecaster-with those observational powers do you even need to ask what you missed? lol
Your missing a very talented individual. The way he presents his talent is great. If your "Puddled Out" don't watch...but I will and Love it.
I think he should have gone farther in AGT. He's got talent.
Rocco Rodriguez He does videos in a number of different styles. Folsom Wizard and the Paste Magazine performances are my current favorites. You should also check out the videos of his live concerts. I always enjoyed his voice and expressiveness in the produced stuff, but didn't become a completely addicted fan until I started watching the audience footage. His skill as an entertainer is incredible.
This song came out around the time I met my late husband.
I quietly celebrated what would have been our 41st Anniversary on August 27.
Today on this day we were on our honeymoon in Nova Scotia.
This song always sends me back to then as we loved it and it was always playing on the radio at that time.
My husband would have loved this version as I do.
Thank you Puddles for sending me back to a much happier time in my life.
I found my Dancing Queen in 1967 while in Viet Nam. On leave that year, I stopped at her home up north, she met me at the airport, no words, just a look, a smile, then that kiss. Welcome home. Only intending to stay for a few days, I was there for two weeks and brought her home with me to Texas. My Dancing Queen. She was with me for two more weeks before I went back to Viet Nam. When finished with the war, surviving several wounds, I went to her and brought her home forever. Abba came out with this song which became one of our favorites. I told her they must have heard me calling her my little Dancing Queen, my love. But then, on New Years Eve of 79, on the way home from a friends party, it all came to an end. I survived once more. I am 70 now, with only one Dancing Queen in my heart, still, after all this time. Puddles, you have made me smile once more. Thank you.
I thank you my friend for showing me the beautiful memory you have and the experiences you shared here. I'm glad to hear something was found of great importance in such a God awful mess as that conflict. Love is the word, and the word is love,cheers.
Thank You for the sacrifices you made and the pure hell you endured over there. Sorry to hear your story. Lifes trails and tribulations are what makes us stronger.
😢😔😢 listening to this and reading your post ... I'm in floods!
MONTE CHRISTO was your Dancing Queen Vietnamese?
This hurt me to read. But in a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing and. For your service.
I just discovered Puddles and I'm in love
ME TOO
Absolutely!
Friday night in a pandemic. Looking out to a place I cant go. This is the right kind of music.
Pushing 70 and this version brings tears to my eyes. I was once a Dancing Queen, there are memories... The only regrets are that I can no longer dance that way.
Thanks.
Avery Milieu don't say that!!! Yo're always having 17 and being the bloody dancing queen!!
We all fall apart Avery, then we fall into Gods arms.
Avery Milieu. Me too. I'm 69. The world was my apple. Not so much anymore.
Love it, Puddles! Ooooeee!
Avery Milieu he was put on the earth to stir peoples emotions. You are still a beautiful dancing queen.
Puddles and a guitar, who needs any thing more? Perfection.
Paula McCartin That was the most perfect comment!
I never imagined that Dancing Queen could be a sad song, but Puddles, oh Puddles, your plaintive vocals and spare instrumentation, at just the right tempo, turned it into an elegy.
Extraordinary.
I have always found the words to be sad. It always struck me as being sung by a former "dancing queen" lamenting that she's no longer young while watching the dancing queen.
The original is deeply melancholic
A lot of ABBA's songs have sad lyrics hidden behind sugary pop.
This song was always very sad for me.
Helll of a singer, too, love puddles!
So, my therapist suggested watching this to confront my fear (phobia) of clowns. I love ABBA. I fear clowns. This was a good first step.
Wish u the best dude
Puddles ain't no clown, he's a king
@@Yourantsally HES THE QUEEN BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clowns are awesome, humans that work in the dark all should fear...
@@mitchellbrian2585 God is, male, female. Every King needs a Queen...
Omg, his voice is like silky honey, just wow 😍
It gets you all sticky?
XD
To all the people who came here from AGT, thanks for sticking with Puddles and the rest of us.
Puddles should do Stand by me !
AnimeChuck He deserved to win.
I first saw Puddles when his first AGT audition happened to appear a short time after it aired on TV. I don't watch AGT but was very impressed with his audition. It's ingenious that he always appears with his suitcase so it's impossible to forget his name. Like many others, I started to look at his videos and wasn't able to stop until I saw just about everything. I'm not sticking with Puddles because of anything that did or didn't happen on that show.
I was very disappointed that Puddles wasn't able to express his complex talent appropriately because of the manipulative format of that show. I wish he'd been able to leave more on his own terms and not because of the manipulation which obviously occurred but I'm very grateful that I "discovered" him, no matter how. I believe that he certainly could and should have won if his talent had been allowed to be expressed appropriately and fairly.
After puddles first appearance on AGT, I knew he had to be famous. I googled him, went on youtube, and subscribed to his channel (something I was afraid to do, since I am older and don't know some of the computer things like subscribing to channels ....and facebook for instance). He is such a gift. I look forward each week to his new songs on Tuesday and Friday. (And love the older videos, too).
Same here. AGT introduced me to Puddles. It is his amazing performances that have me staying. He has completely sucked me in, in a manner no other artist ever has. His UA-cam channel is my first UA-cam subscription. My only playlist, which I play daily (multiple times) are his songs. Dear lord, he moved me to write a poem for the first time in 20 years. I adore him as an artiist. And I can't wait to see him live!!!
This song reminds me of my father. He died of cancer when I was 5. I remember he took me everywhere I want by car while listening to this song. Thank you for bringing back memories of my happiness. Love your voice so much.
It's strange, I had a memory of a old girlfriend. Seems like a lifetime ago and I haven't thought of her in decades. I guess it's because she used to love when I took her dancing... Those were the days. Wish I could live them all over again, what fun life was at age 19-22.
This version of the song is a real masterpiece!
It is
This is disturbingly beautiful! Never thought I'll find my guilty pleasure in an ABBA song, then agIn it's Puddles. He can do anything, and he does.
surprisingly touching....emotional too
Indeed, but I have to disagree on your view of ABBA, they were phenomenal really, even if you're not into that genre, they were very talented to create so many catchy hits that still command huge fans even today.
ABBA IS FREAKING AMAZING!
ABBA is one of my addictions!
Dottore nice avatar
Puddles.....no words man, no words.....👍
Puddles what I admire most about your singing is not just your voice but most important is how much heart you put into the song and your own interpretation of it. It's like listening to a different side of a story that's been told the same way so many times before.
Puddles is my Elvis, I just found him and I am totally amazed.
Me: how can "dancing queen" POSSIBLY be emo??
Puddles: *sings first note*
Me: Oh...
lol really
Actually its a very sad song, even in abbas version
I was almost that, but i thought "how can ABBA sound sad without destroying the song?"
Well.. It sounds like he is singing to a girl that used to be a dancing queen but she isnt anymore, as if she changed. Its a sad story. He did it... And NAILED it
Nice
For me it sounded like he was singing about a young girl who was being taken advantage of sexually, like all the words describing how fun it is is a bitter poison he has to drink as he watched this child do things she's going to regret
'anybody could be that guy' shows everything beautiful about Puddle's voice.
Why isn't there 1M subscribers?
The voice that will not get out of your head, singing to all your songs, keep going, you are AWESOME!
The way that chap both sings, and stays in character is the sign of a master of their trade.
#professional
He's just naturally a sad boi.
The BEST sad clown that makes everyone smile! Your the best puddles
the guy can sing better than 90% of the "famous" artists
What an incredible interpretation... I'm in awe...
This guy is absolutely incredible, and the whole “pity party” persona is original and brilliant !!!
Man, I love this guy. Sure, the clown bit is weird but his talent is undeniable.
I agree! He's genius.
compete authenticity wrapped in a clown suit........He hits many chords in our psyche and hearts. Love it.
I don't even see the clown part anymore
think daft punk, there are a few others but daft punk are likely the most notable. they masked up so that they couldn't be recognized on the street, so that they wouldn't become celebrities and could focus on their passion, the music. if puddles went out without makeup nobody would ever know who he was, even with such a simple setup.
Puddles is an artist. Every time I heard his rendition the style was totally different than the original. I usually don't understand the first time maybe it's so different, but then I listened to it over and over and I could get in Puddles world. The feeling is unbelievably good, and I think that's what a real artist gave me, not just his beautiful voice but actually took me into another wonderful world! I love ya Puddles!
No, he is a Musician! An artist is someone who uses autotune and thinks they can sing, Puddles though, He can sing and play instruments, and not need any enhancements to his voice, unlike those "artists" that get all the airtime and make me want to puke.
Awesome on so many levels! I forgot about hurricanes, forest fires and earthquakes for a few minutes. Thank you sad clown you make me smile.
Puddles has got a voice !
Puddles has a way of staring into all of our souls, riding the lyrical wave of his delivery through our eyes, to those timeless moments which allude us, but which he summons with an almost frightful effortlessness.
It’s this self pity party he surprises us with. The purest embodiment of the clown, if I ever saw one.
BEST VERSION!!! Love you so much Puddles ❤️🎪
Yer the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nick Cave applauses ))))
@@PuddlesPityParty would there be any way you could be talked into getting together with PMJ (you, guitar, Scott, Wurlitzer 200, Adam, bass [acoustic upright], and Martin on drums, and maybe a couple horns thrown in, done in this exact tempo/style?)
All we missin is a red guitar and the truth.... Make that... A red guitar.
I feel every word of the song.
I don't ever want to hear this song done any other way, this was perfection! Your voice always brings up so many emotions when I listen. Thank you for singing for the world, you make it a better place.
Will see you Monday in London. Got a 17 year old studying dancing at the moment. She will not be there, but mum will be. I'll drum along and cry if you sing this. I'll bring the tissues.
Lucky you. Puddles, please perform in Indianapolis. Cincinnati works too..And Chicago. You are sublime!
My Word. Humanity does not deserve this man’s talent.
Maybe, but it needs it.
Puts the emotion into the song. Got to love it. Please put your spin on Take on Me by Ah-ha.
Received my first ever punch at the Junior School Disco while this was playing.
💞💝💟❣️
Funny, I threw my first punch at a dance with this playing. I connected.
Who on Earth could punch someone while ABBA was playing? Whatever I'm angry about, if I hear ABBA, the feeling just melts away.
I'm 55yrs and this was one of my first ever dances
You has it coming 😆😉💞
I'm not usually a fan, but you are growing on me. There's something addictive about your originality and wide vocal range. I look forward to checking out your other covers. We seem to have the same diverse taste in music.
I am in awe of the talentless hacks on the radio. How do they succeed when real talent actually goes almost unheard? Dude, you are seriously talented AF.
Mercadotecnia
Thanks again. Awesome as always. You always make my day. I spend my days. Long days taking care of my 87 year old mom who has Alzheimer's. At the end of the day I am totally spent. Puddles dear man, you bring peace to my emotional well being. EVERY time I hear/watch you sing. Thanks for sharing your gift with us🎶💕🎶💕🎶
peculiardeb *Hugs*
Thank you Peculiardeb for taking care of your mom. It's a hard job, I know. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself too. You deserve time to nurture yourself!
kaspi thanks so much😀
dundeedell1960 thanks so much. I laugh I'm a senior citizen taking care of a senior citizen..lol. But it's ok..we are both hanging in there😀💕
What a great way to head into the weekend. Thanks Puddles...!
Listen to him sing crazy train. It's really nice..
Thank you for singing this song for us.
Puddles for President!
Duececoupe long live the clown!
this would be amazing!
He's got better hair
If USA is gonna have a clown as president, it might as well be an awesome one like Puddles unlike the one in charge right now! :)
And he would be a good contrast to our current president. We can go from talking waaaaaaay too much to only speaking through song, and not too much
Brilliant
I am always impressed by you Puddles 🎼🎵🎶
Wanted to say "THANK YOU!" again, Puddles, for all of your referrals. I've seen a lot of "Puddles sent me" comments on that one vid. Thanks! I hope you're doing okay.
Hello, my friend. You’re a champion!!! I’m ok here. I hope you’re well. Keep on rockin!
@@PuddlesPityParty Thx. I am trying!
Which video did Puddles refer?
I've seen some of your religion related videos a long time ago and recently discovered the wonderful Puddles.
Dancing Queen
ABBA
Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen
You did NOT just make me enjoy an Abba song. Yes, yes you did, Puddles you magnificent bastard! Thanks again Puddles!
LOL. Same. He made it so.....less cheesy. Like, I wouldn't embarrassed to blast this version in my car.
The thing is, we all enjoy ABBA. We just cant accept the fact that we actually like them so we keep em as our "guilty pleasure" jam
He has a great voice!!!!
I have never subscribed to any artist, till now! I found you quite by accident on UA-cam. I can't get enough of Puddles. When I hear you sing, it sends shivers down my spine and I get goosebumps all over. On some occasions, you brought me to tears. You have a rare gift and you are a national treasure, please continue to share your gift with the world!!!
there's just something that keeps bringing me back to listen again
sneekapeek707 me too! I want to listen again and again and again ❤️
Ok, Puddles, you gave me goose bumps! (Puddles bumps?) That's always a good sign when I'm listening to a new song. I'd say this is a winner!
The original sounded like a woman remembering her time as the most popular person at the club. Puddles' version sounds like a guy on the outside looking in at the popular crowd wanting to fit in and knowing he never will. So much feelz from this song of all songs. In my estimation, that is the highest form of art.
I never have gone to a concert but I will be seeing puddles.
Great! Given that the Nashville coffee shop version of this is one of the greatest videos on you tube how could this miss? Thank you for the joy you bring into the world Puddles. Please do the Beatles For No One.
This guy is amazing! I love his renditions of songs!
I saw ABBA live during the Voulez Vouz tour, the only time they toured the U.S. I thought this was going to be some sort of goof on ABBA, but it's great! Wow.
grossly underrated talent, this is an ARTIST!!
Those big rich tones make me all swoony. Luv ya, Puddles!
I'm a huge ABBA fan. But this.. this is level with the original.
I've watched this easily 20 times in the past few days.
Puddles you rock.
Puddles has one of those voices that, with the ability to express such strong emotion, leaves me captivated, floored, breathless, stunned............... wanting more.
How on earth did you make a grown man cry to an ABBA song?? You have some serious talent to connect with people sir!
Puddles can sing any song and make it sound better than the original. He is a true artist, his voice has such range and depth that you can just sit and listen and be mesmerized by the music. Amazing talent!
It was one great dance song, but Puddles made it little bit sad and romantic... Puddles, you are the best!
From American idol, up to now l love Puddles and his voice is beautiful,soothing and Lovely 💜💋💋💋💋💋💋💋l love you and will never get tired of your voice/singing
This guy doesn't clown around... Outstanding!
WOW! Just spent the better part of an hour watching and listening to Puddles who I was just the other day introduced to by a co-worker playing the Pinball/Folsom mash-upo n his phone. Wanting to say something significant that might live up to Puddles artistry but doubt I can come close.
Forget the artistry of the imagery, which it is fantasist in it's own right, and I DO like it. Just close your eyes and listen to the performance! The interpretation of these well known songs on its own is brilliant and amazing and brings something more, fresh, and different to the music. Then add that voice - GREAT voice! I wish I could say it better but to get to the point,
Puddles is outstanding, simply out F 'in standing!
I will be listening to more!
Thank you sir! THANK YOU!
I am new to your music Puddles but I have quickly become a fan. This cover is brilliant. Thanks!
Picasso of voices ! Can’t imagine the decades of practice to hone that voice!! Could easily be in the top 10 voices of all times!!
I must admit, this guy is VERY intriguing. Excellent!!
The first time I have ever heard the lyrics to this iconic song ...as ever, Mike's diction is impeccable.
His style turned this disco , upbeat song into a meloncolic ballad and it works .
You got the voice, the timing... and plenty of WTF... I'm liking it!
Great talent. Thank you for being you.🎶
I was never an ABBA fan but now I love Dancing Queen. I love you, Puddles(in a friendly way).
Okay, I have changed from a person intrigued by Puddles interpretations to a full fledged fan. This was a change from a silly 80's pop song into an ENTIRELY different song. Instead of it being happy, it changed into an introspective sad and heartbreaking song. Wow! Way to go, Puddles!
So creamy and dreamy … you’re melting US into ‘puddles’. I'm diggin' the electric guitar and those smooth octave changes. The song bookends... sighs, coughs and the extra high warm-up "eewoooOOOH!!" … are unique, authentic and add an overall sweetness creating even more smiles. KEEP GOIN’!
Margie J "creamy and dreamy"... amen, Sister!
Puddles is the only singer I have ever heard whose concertbI want to attend. But I missed him. He was in New England in September 2023.
I remember his first song ... when he opened his mouth he blew me away... just Fabulous! Would LOVE to be his harmonizer.
jon gibson I can say yes but then, I have never heard myself. ☺️
jon gibson sadly, I am too old now but Thank you.
Does he never blink?
You're right! He never does.
No!
I don't know because I keep blinking...
Could be he painted eyes onto his eyelids and his eyes are always closed 😂😂😂😂
If you're crying you don't need to blink. Your eyes are always wet. Just try to cry for checking. ;)
smooth puddles... silky smooth...
Puddles' sadness makes my day brighter. I never thought that dancing queen could be this good.
I'd never thought of the lyrics to Dancing Queen like this before. It's not about a party girl at the top of her game, it's about a down-and-out Looking-for-Mr.-Goodbar failure of a woman, trying desperately to relive her glory years on the dance floor. Maybe if the stars align just right tonight, she'll get a tiny inkling of that old thrill back, before it all comes crashing down around her again and she drowns her sorrows for the night in a bottle of Jack Daniels.
I love this and I love you Puddles!!!❤
Puddles, I love the clown suit, it's like a match struck against an inner emotion, your angelic voice, the shadows cast, you sir are a living poem and beautiful to behold, simply breathtaking, thank you for sharing the gift of you! Amazing! Bravo! I could go on but my heart and eyes long to experience your own version of " Love hurts" by Nazareth, please kind sir, if you would, thank you, and thank you!
Nicely put: "a living poem"👍😊
This is a Masterpiece.
Puddles music: only for connoisseurs.❤️ Greetings to all from NYC 🗽
Just celebrated my 17th birthday... this makes it better

Never knew about Puddles til AGT, I fell in love with him that first time when he sang Chandelier! I was sad when he was eliminated; he was one of the most talented they've ever had! I've since found myself needing my "Puddles" addiction on a daily basis! I even tried to get tickets to his live show in North Carolina, but they're all sold out 😏, good for Puddles, sad for me!
Such a gifted voice
The melancholy you put in here is so gripping
You did NOT make me cry with an ABBA song - they always make me feel pretty gay and like dancing, but now I just wanna cry and listen to this on repeat. The feels you put into it just amazed me!!!
No. Fucking. Way.
You got me with the elvis cover forever... but now this? Nobody realised how amazing ABBA is. They truly have the saddest songs, but they are so upbeat nobody notices. I just went through a break up and have had ABBA on repeat for weeks. Now i'm on a puddles binges and the fact you covered them just made my week. Thank you puddles!
Lol , ABBA , my mother when I was just maybe 5 , had me repeating this 45 over and over , ABBA is GOOD stuff ,
Let's go! Still good in 2023! Thank you Puddles!
There is a lot of focus on the clown image. I can't think about anything but his voice - it is absolutely gorgeous. It's flooded with emotion and the timbre, vibrato, control, and clear articulation of words are flawless - in my opinion. He is a devoted artist of the highest caliber, and I look forward to hearing more from him.
Well said!
great cover Puddles.. for some reason when I was very young, this song made me cry.. it still does.. you have an amazing voice
I have always felt there's something sad about this song. Never been able to put my finger on why.
Puddles... you are never wrong. Thank you for all that you give us.
Please understand, That at the end of 2020, this man (dude) is a god! Thank you for your depth..
Simply awesome... I am very impressed with his voice. His voice is fantastic.
It is really strange how shows videos from years ago in the list to watch. Seeing this for the first time, it is awesome. Made my day. Love this version of the song.
Thanks! I love how YT will do that.
love this!!! beautiful idea!
