Tears Of A Clown

Tears of A Clown by Smokey Robinson & the Miricles (40/365)

When I was a senior in high school, I declared in my Urban Studies class that this was the greatest song of all time. Seven years later, I'll go this far… "Tears of a Clown" and "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" are the two greatest Motown songs of all time and quite frankly, you can't go wrong with either one. This songs got hooks, a nice bass line, bridges, and all the good stuff you would expect from a great song. A sad song has never sounded so good.

Listen:


A Ska Cover I found on Accident:
03 tears of a clow...

The only thing wrong with this song is that it has clowns in it.
