And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns. Well maybe next year, “Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana”, “To me clowns aren't funny. In fact- they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus - and a clown killed my dad.” - Jack Handy, Dare to wear the foolish clown face.
This scared the willies out of sonmi when she was 4 years old.
From a tot’s perspective Leo was on a par with Stephen King’s ‘Pennywise’.
He sounds angry and demented.
Also, I was highly confused as to where his huge hair had gone.
Now, when you watch the video – in the middle section where Mr Sayer makes a job lot of weird noises (scat), imagine a small, curly-topped child of four years old belting out said scat flawlessly, as though reciting some kind of powerful hex, mimicking the creepy clown voice perfectly.
Sleep well.

That is wonderfully impressive if you could do what you suggest you may have been capable of; not that I’m doubting you mind, but your wording is a tad ambiguous – did you actually do that may I ask? No need to answer if it’s too personal. Whaddya think, are there some Joe Cocker movements in Leo’s shtick? In the meantime, that Jack Handy quote is one to ponder. Coco the clown once dragged me into the middle of the Big Top when I was a similar age, and I don’t think I’ve ever recovered from the deep emotional scarring. You will understand; I know.

I feel your pain. But you can have it back now, because I’m trying to enjoy myself here laughs.
Yes, it is true. My older sibling had the single and played it on a loop whilst I sat there soaking it all up. I should say that I am not big (nor tiny) Leo Sayer fan, this was just a moment, a snippet.

I’ve had altogether too much contact with scat lately, on my walks – https://pendantry.wordpress.com/category/dogshit-gallery/ – but that’s a different kind (and it’s certainly not ‘good’!)

P.S. Stephen King’s novel “It” was made into a film, which terrified me nearly to death – and I was an adult.

Ah yes I recall the film, I was a huge fan of his when I was younger. The adaptation of The Shining was pretty scary too, no matter what age you are.
