Mad World with Haley and Puddles on PMJ Top Hat on Fleek

[Miguel]

I think the PMJ approach to "Mad World" gives the song a dream-like quality. And a crazy dream can be seen as a mad world.

I had this thought the other day about Puddles: he's a lot like Scotty McCreery. While you might expect that voice to come out of 6'8" "Big Mike" Geier, you don't expect it to come from a clown.

That it does disarms and instantly charms some people.

Geier’s signature band, Kingsized, has evolved into a dynamo ensemble that performs killer interpretations of swing, rock and soul favorites. Around the same time he started Kingsized, Geier also launched Dames Aflame, a dazzling Parisian-style burlesque revue, which became a key component of the Kingsized shows. In 1996 he created Elvis Royale, a Las Vegas-inspired spectacle with him and the Kingsized band channeling the music of “the king of rock ‘n’ roll.” And as if those weren’t enough, Geier has created smaller musical spinoffs from Kingsized, such as Bogey and the Viceroy and the Kingsized Jazz Trio. He also formed Tongo Hiti, an eclectic Tiki bar band, and more recently has developed a cabaret clown act called Puddles Pity Party.
