How to Use Music in Clown Routines

On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus here in Hollywood, Florida and we're going to do, "How To Be A Clown." Hey, music. Well that's a great thing. Remember Steve Martin, his stand up show? He used to do a great bit with his banjo. He'd be playing and ahhhh, he gets his fingers stuck and he does some silly bits. Music is a great thing for clowning because it's truly international. A friend of mine used to travel in Europe and each country has its own nationalistic songs. He would play one song and people would cheer and he knew all those people were from Italy. He'd play another song and all those people would cheer and he knew those people were from France. Each country has its own bit. Well, here's a classic clown one. A kazoo is always good. And that tune, of course, comes from Bugs Bunny. Some of my favorite instruments would of course be a trombone. Trombone's are just funny. Of course, my favorite is a booffatone. Oopsie!
