I just realized that they're dressed like witches because of the line in Wizard of Oz when the Witch of the West is melting, and she screams, "Oh, what a world, what a world!" They are so darned clever.

My father always used to play this whole album back when I was a small child, and even back then, when i must have been about five, this was the song that stuck in my mind. It almost became the soundtrack to my childhood. Anyway, I was digging out some of my dads CDs and I found this album and when this song came on i began to get very sentimental. Silly I know, but the memories just came flooding back. But I'm fifteen now and I'm sure that now I've rediscovered it, I will forever cherish this song. Sorry for the paragraph

His voice is so damn perfect! I'm a musician, but when he sings I sometimes cannot even pick out the individual instruments (which I always do); he's perfect.

I was beginning to notice the similarities between the structure and Bolero, and thought it was a nice little nod to the classic...then it went full out in the melody of Bolero and I was a little blown away.

Calm Dust, you are one of the few people I know of who discovered Rufus after I did. I found him in 2015, and got to my first concert mid-2016. I’m still a newbie as the people I know who follow him have been doing so for many years. I hope that you have gotten to a few of his performances, because he always puts on a great show.

Ben Brower, I’ve always loved Rufus’ reaction when he sings “straight men” in this song. In this case, he says “right”, but sometimes he shrugs, the message being “what can I tell you; straight men don’t read fashion magazines.” Thanks for noticing.

Approximately 14 years ago I heard this song on a late night show ( Johnathan Ross I think) and it took my breath away..his performance, his voice, his presence ... . I never heard it again but his name and the word plane would occasionally visit me...I mentioned it to my partner and he found this little beaut...goose pimples!...I just completely fell in love with Rufus Wainwright and this crazy world we live in all over again!!

It is a sample of Ravel's Boléro, it's been in a number of films but it is actually an orchestral pice from the late 20's... and at the end there's a brief sample of 'Over the rainbow', which is from the movie 'The wizard of oz'. I personnally think this song is a proof of Rufus' genius and vast musical knowledge... really beautiful and optimistic ;)

Regardless, he makes great music and you can tell that he's really into it. He sings from his fucking heart, unlike most musicians these days. This clip made me smile the whole way through.
