This song can be very happy and very sad at the same time and that's why it should be loved.
I don't get the bashing. Yes, it doesn't live up to Gene Wilder- anyone who loves this song knows that- but it was a lovely and proper rendition and stayed close to true of the original. Beautiful job Glee, I enjoyed it and it touched my heart.
@thegoldyshow i know it seems like they just pick random popular songs and cover them, but if you watch the covers within the context of the show then they make much more sense and seem to belong there. The people on the show never compare their versions to the original, they merely express that the songs they sing best exemplify the emotions they aren't developmentally ready (since they are children) to share.
When they sang this and the tapes started rolling. I was balling, I could'nt stop. It reminded me so much of my grandmother. So innocent. I miss her so much, love you grandma.
This song is so eerie, i absolutely love it! it brings me back to the days i would watch willy wonka and the chocolate factory at my grandmothers. i will forever love this song and i adore the glee version.
@megsbee1224 ok i love this song it is amazing and powerful but that song completly fits the funeral that they held and how do you now death is not just a world that is what you imagine your paridise to be no offence

I still love the original, but I like how Glee slowed it down. If the first line is at normal speed, it doesn't make sense to me.
