Postmodern Jukebox bends genres for its creative covers of pop songs, but the group's latest tune might just bend your brain. A solemn-looking clown named Puddles puts a piano-pop twist on "Royals" by Lorde.

The 7-foot-tall Puddles, with what Postmodern Jukebox describes as "a voice like Tom Jones," performs the pop hit in full clown makeup with the help of backing vocals and a band. While Lorde's version possesses a cool girl vibe, Puddles' soulful voice gives "Royals" a more solemn overtone.

In addition to "Royals," Postmodern Jukebox has released covers of other well-known pop songs like Miley Cyrus' monster hit "We Can't Stop" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."
