Need a 'Drinking Buddy'? Check Out Marylouise Burke in Music Video of David Clement's Comic Torch Song

We love an amusingly random music video, which is why we found Marylouise Burke’s rendition of “Drinking Buddy” by David Clement irresistible. Burke is a theater favorite for roles in Is He Dead? Fuddy Meers and many more (not to mention as Paul Giamatti’s mom in Sideways), and she gives it her all as an elderly torch singer with a gift for befriending gay men in bars. Clement, who is married to Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright, is a popular indie singer/songwriter currently developing a musical about the Weather Underground.
