Clowns is a black and white arcade game released by Bally Midway in 1978. It is similar to Exidy's Circus from the prior year, in which the player controls a seesaw to propel two clowns into the air, catching balloons situated in three rows at the top of the screen. It was released on cartridge for Commodore VIC-20 in 1982 and for the Commodore 64 in 1983.
"Clowns" is a folktronica song performed by British duo Goldfrapp. The song was written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory for the duo's fourth album Seventh Tree (2008). It was released as the album's fourth single in October 2008.
On 20 October 2008, "Clowns" was available to digital download for free from Goldfrapp's official website and MySpace page. A live version of the song, performed at the 2008 BBC Electric Proms, was also released as a free download. As part of the newspaper's week of free Goldfrapp giveaways, The Guardian released a live version of "Clowns" recorded at Union Chapel in London, England. The song was played over the film's end of Veronika Decides to Die (film). It has been covered by Melora Creager of Rasputina.
In a video interview with Blender, Alison Goldfrapp claimed the song was about the overabundance of women on reality television with breast implants.
