As I watched Trump's "surprise visit to supporters", these lyrics came to mind:

"But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here"

(Sorry, Judy.)

"Judy"...? regnaD kciN Oct 2020 #1

When I think of this song, I hear Judy singing it. I am aware that Streisand also recorded it Atticus Oct 2020 #3

I know she recorded a cover, but the apologies should be directed at Stephen Sondheim, who wrote that as part of the score for A Little Night Music.

but, IMHO, Judy's was the classic.

Yes, Sondheim wrote it and he was a genius, but she sang it in a way that filled eyes.

Don't care who sings it. Makes me think of Jerry Lewis whom I also can't/couldn't stand.
