It is true that Djokovic did sing ‘Proud Mary’ in public after getting drunk and there are videos on YouTube which support this claim. Proud Mary is a popular song written by John Fogerty and originally recorded by his band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). It was released as a single in 1969 and became one of CCR’s signature songs.

The song features a catchy and energetic rock and roll sound with elements of soul and blues. The lyrics tell the story of a woman named Mary who lives in a small town on the Mississippi River and works as a cleaner in a hotel. The song describes Mary’s struggles and aspirations for a better life.

The song’s popularity has endured, and it is often associated with the 1960s rock era. Its distinctive opening guitar riff and memorable chorus have made it a classic in the rock music canon.
