Rufus Wainwright
Oh, What A World
Comment on the track.
oh, what a world
I want to comment on how great of a track this is! In my top 10 of Ru's songs.
It is a must for me to listen to every time I am on an air plane...
It makes me want to get trashed off of wine by myself and smoke Camel No. 9's... and sing as loud as I can! Haha.
Oh oh, and I MUST link you all here:

Re: Oh What A World
{q a=[[Johnny_Alpha]]}The song that introduced me to Rufus. Simply wonderful. {/q}
Me too. I saw him on the Frank Skinner show and fell in love with the song. I couldn't quite believe what was happening when Balero came in half way through the song - I half expected Torvil and Dean to come skating past!

Great American Songbook
This is a wonderful song. There is nothing else like it. I just have to shake my head at the imagination of it.
I have been listening non-stop to Rufus for several weeks now (only broken intermittedly with bits of the wonderful, wonderful Martha) but a few days ago I decided I was becoming obsessed and would have to wean myself off. So I listened to the radio for a while, only to discover that everything else sounded really crap, so plain and vanilla-flavoured and thoroughly uninspired. So back to Rufus I be.
Obviously I picked up on the Ravel's 'Bolero' reference, but there is another song in there, which for the life of me I cannot place. It sounds like a bit of 'Rhapsody in Blue' or something -- one of those great American songs. (So great that I can't remember it!! But then, I don't happen to be American.) Can anyone place it? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
