You Might Be Obsessed with Rufus Wainwright If...

[rmw247]

Or if you listen to rufus wainwright SO MUCH that he could never ever be your friend because he'd want to totally strangle you? HAHAHAHA!!

[333amaterasu]

or if you get mad at the salesman in the record shop, because "All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu" is like, months old and THEY STILL DON'T HAVE IT!!!!!!!!

(but I have it now :D it's gorgeous :O)

[JamesInAsh]

guilty

[TheSafelights]

I successfully converted a couple people wooot

[libran1977]

guilty lol :p

[iterociter]

Haha! Much agree! You should have seen me when I heard he is releasing a song that has my name as the title! *bouncing off walls*

[doubletakelook]

Yes I'm not alone :) x

[noonav]

LOL, right on!

[mysarip]

totally true. I think Rufus was approve.

[mysterycat55]

LOL. Funny... I actually did try to convert my mom... And I do love that multi-colored outfit!

[Ayce88]

Also I am a huge Beatles fan so I have heard Across the Universe before Rufus<3 and I love both the original and Rufus' version :D

[Ayce88]

This is so awesome. I am Obsessed with Rufus Wainwright <3<3 Few of these are true and the others haven't crossed my mind until this video. I am also a nerd because I just copied and paste this

[Ayce88]

comment onto my facebook page.

[Saranohthanks]

ahh I love Rufus. This was amazing :3

[DavidGilmore]

YES!! I have done all those things...except throw away Barbra Streisand albums - I wouldn't own one to start.

LOVE YOU!

Your sister in obsession.

[ymaAMYyma13]

iv done EVERYTHING (apart from the accent thing.) EVERYTHING im drinking chocolate alpro soya light wilst writting this..thats the same phone background as mine.. just EVERYTHING iv done all of that today! rufus im a freak. thanks.

[bloodiedXangel]

Haha. Rufus got me hooked on chocolate alpro soya!!!

[izumeypup]

o-O your a little insane aren't you?

aww dont feel bad we all are! right Bruce lee?.....yeah im insane about him....only jeet kune do lovers would understand!!!

[Gepasan]

Great!

[putoutthetorches]

ahahahahha this is so funny. especially the one about drinking chocolate milk and smoking because of the song.

[MusicMadness86]

well, erm, from watching this, i think you could call me obsessed

[McTipp09]

If you can get the note in Vibrate...

[chickendefrango]

Oh, yes.

[groomdoggi]

uh, if you've listened to 1 Rufus song, you've heard them all.

[hamalinzor]

I hope your mom dies of cancer

[Keturahhh]

haha, guilty.

[doctorunk69]

I guess I'm in the clear. I like a couple of his songs and...that's about it. ( I was worried )

[rebelamz]

oh god, yep i'm obsessed .

who wouldn't want to be :D

[alig69xx]

How about analysing "I'm going to a town" in a music lesson about writing lyrics ...... for a class of 7/8 year olds! Their class teacher looked a little nonplussed.

Or taking the last 15 minutes working out how to sign up to youtube (couldn't get a user name for ages) so I could add the above comment!

[bloodiedXangel]

I've another crazy thing to add. Preaching the word of Rufus on your Catholic school retreat. It was a bad idea... But I got to talk about Him so it was still great

[xoxoalexi]

omg i acually did all these things no fucken joke

[xoxoalexi]

i'm a crazed rufus fan<333

[onetrashdancer]

Yea right this ass wipe can not sing , just listen right out his beak no talent must have a very rich boy friend !

[LovelyHeadline]

11 yeses. <3

[brontedesk]

em... just watched this video and I believe 'killing me softly' might be the appropriate response! Hilarious ha ha.

A definitely obsessed Rufus fan

[soundfaith]

or if you are a straight man, and make out with a gay man to try to be "closer to Rufus"

RUFUS IS A GENIOUS!!!

[chrisallenkay]

you are a fast talker

[justlikehoneyy]

I've done every single one of those things.

Thank god there are others.

[sign543]

Yes! And we must stick together! :)

[jamesmatthewphx]

You might be obsessed with RUFUS if you are flying 1,200 miles to see him in concert for the first time (YAY KCMO FEB 21 HERE I COME)! RUFUS is my cell phone wallpaper, I've converted 3 people in the past month to RUFUSISM, I'll never forget the dream I had where he picked me up in a bio-diesel converted vw bug, I've bought magazines off ebay cause RUFUS was in them, I ADORE the Beatles but RUFUS' Across the Universe, I could listen to it over and over and over. Ummm, Sign. I may be obsessed. :)

[sign543]

Oh, my! You've got it bad! Not to worry, though. If you are too concerned about it, I suggest you relieve your anxiety by promptly listening to "I Don't Know What It Is" from Want One and if that doesn't help, listen to at least 5 tracks...all in a row from "Poses". That's powerful enough to cure cancer! ;)

[mabuhaykamihindikayo]

John Lennon's version, is, OF COURSE, better.. and prolly the BEST amongst others. But, Rufus does have a nice voice!

[sign543]

In most cases, I feel the Beatles had the best versions of their own songs, but in this case, I don't. Just a personal preference. John's version sounds so dated and the flange they put on the vocal is annoying. I can understand why many do prefer his original version, though. :)

[TheSafelights]

@mabuhaykamihindikayo

LIES

Rufus's version is FABulous

[pavonibus]

I'm seven of these. Sigh. Hahahaa.

[bloodiedXangel]

Oops...

- I have said 'may' on occasion. But I do talk like that sometimes...

- I have used references. People seem confused and think I have bad memory when I talk about my mysterious bruises that I got from falling into a table (I was hyper from chocolate milk)

- I have gotten pissy at people who don't like Rufus. It's just not natural!*ehm*

- My wallpaper would be a Rufus pic if I didn't own a stupid block that made him look nasty. I didn't think it was possible until I saw my phone!

[bloodiedXangel]

- All my friends now hate Rufus!! It might be my fault for talking about him non-stop. But my mam likes some of his amazing songs = )

- When I say Im listening to music, everyone knows who Im listening to!!

- Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk got me addicted to Alpro Soya chocolate flavour!

- Oh yea, going to see Primma Donna in July!

- Rufus quenched my musical thirst, something almost impossible. But its nice not to have Phantom Overture running through my head for 24 hours...

[bloodiedXangel]

- That suit is fabulous!

- I had a Rufus dream. It wasnt nice, but he was still there

- I heard both songs on the same day. Kinda freaky, but I love them both.

And yes, I'm on a Rufus high. Hence the three posts in a minute!!

[alexiamedusa]

...I've listened some operas because of him (I have my tickets for Prima Donna this summer in Manchester).I always love his clothes he's so cute and stylish!!

I didn't know Across the Universe by John Lennon before Rufus covered it and I think that it is so much better....And I would probably have smoke a cigarette with a chocolate milk if I were a smoker !!! Thank you so much for this video I feel less lonely now^^ !!!

[sign543]

Haha, right now, I have Want One in my car...I've been playing it over and over for months. I especially love "I Don't Know What It Is"...:)

[alexiamedusa]

From Want One I think that "Go or go ahead", "Want" and "Dinner at Eight" are magic but I couldn't choose, I love the others so much too :D

[alexiamedusa]

So funny !!!...and so true!!I might be obsessed with Rufus Wainwright. Well I don't pronounce the everyday words "may and bay" because I'm French but this is hilarious...

Indeed my wallpaper is a picture of him, I'm often talking of Rufus Wainwright to my family and my friends, I didn't listen anything else but Rufus Wainwright for months (and yes, I felt guilty when I listened to other singers lol!!)

[aharon59]

Funny..and I don`t even know why.

[WlCKED1VA]

For some reason you remind me of nutcheese, are you guys related....the physical resemblance is amazing.

[isabellebrodin]

Funny ;D

[Whoester]

Hahahaha this sounds like me :D

[msscott73]

DUDE, you are so funny i love this video.

[Calistake047]

Okay:

- I'm trying to converting my friens into being Rufus's fans, so far to no avail -.-

- I do find his dressing fabulous in any case.

- I wasn't even aware "Across The Universe" was a song of Lennon's, before Rufus showed up in my life xD and anyway I swear I like his version oh-so-much better.

- My wallpaper IS a Rufus picture xD

Whaddaya think? That kinda works fo me... or, should I say, meeeeeeey xD

[OBOYME]

"I love Dr. Pepper. Everything it seems I like is a little bit sweeter"

Lmao.

[floatmyboat]

my dad named my dog after rufus wainwright

[HuggalotXOmocha]

roflmao xD "oops. Wrong picture."

[sistergrenadine]

AHAH!

Yes to all! All! :D

Great video.

[euraledm]

very very funny and very true too. Goods job. But a bit scary too when you realise you can relate to many of these...

[octogirlpretty]

LMAO!!

Have you been observing my life for the passed 2yrs?!

The Opera one--YES

Cell wallpaper--YES

Conversational Rufus plugs--YES

Rufus haters defenders--YES

People ask me to stop playing Rufus--YES

Play only Rufus--YES!!

Damn it...This is all me!!

[sign543]

I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!! :)

[chickendefrango]

I'm so obsessed! Great video, five stars!

[shauli1984]

Hilarious!

[RossRossford]

That was white milk, sorry bro, voting 1.

[63sweetheart]

so true I guess I'm obsessed with him then!!! I love you Rufus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LewisHabb]

May and bay

[swissclerk]

Great video. Too true. I love the "be and me" to bey and mey!

[charminglydaft]

"I love Dr. Pepper. Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter!!!"

AMAZING. And yes, I have to say I can relate to most of these. Oh, obsession. :')

[mrsrufuswainwright]

If you've ever pushed your boyfriend away in bed when you're having a few Rufus thoughts ;)

[kawaii50]

If Rufus saw this he'd be pleased...or really scared. ^_~ I enjoyed this video. Rufus is love love lovey!!!

[fehquig]

The only Rufus I know is that dumb dog...

[00fle00fle]

Lmfao. This is hilarious! I've done quite a few of these things.. >.>

[Squeaky1423]

LOL! I love Rufus, but I guess not this much! ha ha ha ha ha!

[amjPeace]

I've done all those things, but not for Rufus Wainwright.. I'm obsessed with Josh Groban!!!

[sign543]

Yeah, I love Josh, as well, but when I stumbled across Rufus....GAH!

[kitashtonmusic]

Guilty as charged (mostly)... K ;)

x

[NickyFontana]

Okay, I need to tell everybody this, yesterday I went to a Rufus concert and I saw Rufus Wainwright just as he was walking into the theater. So I ran across the street gave Rufus a huge hug and took a picture with him. He said hi but the look on his face read "get this crazy girl off of me", but who cares how he felt, I MET RUFUS. Then when he left, I never saw somebody so happy to get away from me. The best 30 seconds in my life!

[sign543]

I am SO JEALOUS!!

[RandyJMayfield]

I am only a small fan. But when I grow up. I want to be a big fan.

Funny video.*****

[elenitaholanda]

You are amazing, someone on the Rufus forum recommended this video and I cannot begin to tell you how much I laughed!!

You are a genius!!

[violinist06]

this is SO true. great video :)

[deradun]

Great one Sign54. I especially liked the bit about buying magazines you never otherwise buy. I have a collection!

[labfan8]

Ah ah ah...this is very funny! Love it! The sad thing is that I could see myself through it...

[soonerryan2000]

Thanks for the vote over there on Zipster's channel ... btw, I'm a pretty solid if not big Rufus Wainwright fan. The only CD I own is "Want One," but I've worn it out, particularly "I Don't Know What It Is," which I think is one of the best pop songs of the decade.

[sign543]

Your "Different World" song reminds me of some of his more cabaret type stuff. :)

[soonerryan2000]

That's a heck of a compliment, sign543. Thank you!!! ... I have a subscription to Rhapsody, so I need to catch up on his CDs ...

[Steffactotum]

haaaaaaahahahahahaha! Awesome!

I did ditch almost every other singer, band or whatever since I met Rufus. He's just... toxic.

And you're right, I listened to Across the Universe for the first time sung by our very own Rufus.

Anywho... again, awesome.

[homie413]

Ohhhh you met Rufus, tooo?? When/where?? Isn't he AMAZING!? I met him in January! I was soo excited! I'm going to my 4th concert in 3 weeks! =D I basically listen to Rufus and show tunes!

[Steffactotum]

I didn't actually meet the guy, I meant "since I came to know his music". English isn't my mother tongue, sorry! ^^

I live too far away (and I mean Star Wars far away :D) so the chance of meeting him is... remote :/. But I'm glad you did, I bet it was great!

[jamesmatthewphx]

i heart u

[lalalafayette]

yes indeed i truly love my precious RUFIE!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!

[beatnikplaysatune]

Haha this cracked me up. I always try to convert people to become a Rufus fan. First time I heard him was on Moulin Rouge. I was like man who is this guy! And when I saw his picture I laughed because it was like this big voice is coming out of this tiny man! It was such a sad thing to know he's gay I was going to ask him to have my child :]

Haha the video was great :]

[sign543]

Oh, I think it's fabulous that he's gay....but I know what you mean. :)

[shaneanu]

this is lovely!! I think Rufus would love it too :)

[sign543]

I hope he sees it!! :)

[arthurinuk]

Funny, and true!

[jesusapalancares]

I think that I may be obsessed with Rufus... last month I travel from Mexico City just to watch his performance at the Wiltern in LA... coming back the same night to my country, for be at my office next day at the morning. I was burn out, but it totally worthed it.

[sign543]

That's awesome! :)

[stitchesintime]

Great Video, I enjoy watching all your videos.

[sign543]

Thank you! :)

[soniathehedgehog]

hahaha i love you for doing this!

and yes, as much as i am a faithful fan of the beatles (as well!), rufus has brought an improvement to across the universe imo :)

[sign543]

I agree...even the best songs can use a facelift every 30 years or so. :)

[dorna997]

Haha, I loved this video!

Rufus rocks!

I really didn't know Across the Universe was a remake though...xD

[sign543]

I didn't either, never heard the song before Rufus did it. Yeah, that's not good, haha!

[renthead1993]

How sad that I just recently "discovered" Rufus, and I am osbessed! My son, who introduced him to me, is scared of my new love. I completely feel this video!

[sign543]

A lot of us are new. I've only known him since November last year...and my son is also saying things to me. "You're going to hate him soon, you play him so much!" Yeah, right!

[Starshadow]

Hahahaha!!

Happy Ostara, dollink. I called you. I'll be home sometime tonight, or tomorrow after ten ayem.

[sign543]

Tomorrow fer sher...I tried to call today, but no answer. :)

[skasoooretro]

haha i am there with you. Nearly all these things. "Don't you ever listen to anything else?" And thanks to him i am also obsessed with your youtube videos.

[sign543]

Aw, thank you!!

[susanmuses]

...if you've ever contemplated trying to seduce Loudon so you could be Rufus's stepmom...okay, I thought about it briefly after "Want Two" came out. Rufus is awesome.

[sign543]

LOL, nice!

[MGB1000]

Who is Rufus? I dont know him.

[sign543]

Watch my latest favorited video. That will give you a good idea. :)

[MGB1000]

OK, if I can find your page. :-)

[MGB1000]

Yeah, I see it now. Good video. I like the April Fools one too. Now I know. :-)

[auntienem]

i cant help it...i'm obsessed with rufus....since 1998

[GillerificGill]

Nice to see I'm not the only one, 'are you listening to Rufus AGAIN??!' is a question I hear a lot...

[BMPmama698]

Leaving my Rufus Reply...Love him!

[Marihani]

I am almost afraid to ask - but WHO is this Rufus guy???? (Am I showing my age? or maybe my location?)

[aluisha]

Rufus is the hottest man alive, and being a non-conformist makes him even better *shudder*

He also happens to be our current Music God.

For more information, you might want to Wikipedia him =)

[Marihani]

Wiki it is! If he is HOT, I am surprised I haven't at least noticed a picture! ;-)

[cindyloohoo19]

Brilliant - I can relate to SO MANY of what you mentioned in your video!! :)

[night0wler1]

Loved the video- and

guilty as charged!

[mariempunt]

you've said everything i've been saying for the past 8 years!

PS - i eat jellybeans now too!

great video

[sign543]

Nice!

[rufusfan08]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[childre24]

LOL, I could do the same thing with my obsession with the beatles. :)

[sign543]

I have an uncle who is a Beatles FREAK.

[childre24]

very cool! I wouldn't call myself a freak LOL ;) but I love them. John was my fav. :D

[aluisha]

Holy, FINALLY a bunch of people who get what I've been trying to say about Rufus for a while now. HE IS A MUSIC GOD.

Why don't the rest just get what he's trying to say and why he is SO...magnetic?

[sign543]

Exactly! :)

[ssha53]

lol that was hilarious and soooo true. lol "just listen to it again, Grandma"

[artsgirl07]

lol awesome. I haven't heard much of his stuff but I ADORE Hallelujah, it's the most fantastic song there is in the world :)

[mothberries]

Haha! That was pretty funny! Though when he says 'may' and 'bay' it's more drawn out, as if your drunk

[shutupjessica]

-squeals- I have converted people into Rufus Wainwright fans thank you! and HEY I was a fan of Opera before I even heard of Rufus! :D

No idea why but this video made me happy!

[sign543]

You're happy because you are thinking of Rufus!! :)

[Gabecky]

oh my God! your video makes me feel so understood!!! When I talk to people about Rufus they just don't know anything about him, or don't get his style, and I can never understand why!!! To me, he is simply the greatest singer/songwriter ever and his voice makes me very happy on sad days. Your rock!!!

[sign543]

I completely agree!!! :)

[Green4321]

Trivia question: What song did Loudon write in honor of the birth of his son, Rufus?

[sign543]

Rufus is a tit man!! Ha, you can't stump me!!

[kayliesings]

i want rufus to be my best friend...

[sign543]

Aw, that's sweet. Get in line behind me, sister!!!!

[Ahnyanka]

Hehe! So cute!

[nowonder456]

[sign543]

Who is Rufus Wainwright? Search on YouTube for "Across the Universe Rufus Wainwright"...you'll see. :)

[JAKE9000000000o]

[anonymus88]

LOOOOOOOL

[moomay11649]

Who is Rufus Wainwright?

[sign543]

Rufus Wainwright is arguably the best songwriter alive today. Others might disagree, but some have said that. Elton John said it. Do a YouTube search, Moomay. :) *hugs*

[souldistortion25]

HAhaaha so funny man, cracks me up. i really should listen to mr wainwright if you like him so much because you're a pretty creative guy. love your little sound effects and music, makes the vids so much better. keep making vids!

[Scholiast1]

[cooksterz]

Oh yes Dr Pepper! HA - Hey i just heard about the Partnership! Yippeee, i mean like the happy kind of yippee. Oh you said chocolate milk! Yes!! CONGRATS SIGN!!

[sign543]

Thank you!!! :)

[likkerisqwikker]

it's odd you made this vid when you did.

I just discovered rufus wainwright by hearing him sing "bewithced" (end title to "the history boys").

I searched his name on youtube and your vid is the first result!

[sign543]

That is weird!!

[rufwainFan]

You are sooo funny!

[rufwainFan]

I'am definately obsesses!

[sign543]

[MalyssaAK]

[sign543]

You ARE supposed to!

[NickyFontana]

OMG MORE RUFUS WAINWRIGHT FANS!!!!!!!!

(please tell me you are not being sarcastic)

I'm going to go to his concert in April (I'm bringing my mother...she's not a fan so it will be interesting)

[sign543]

On most of these, I am not being sarcastic.

[tunisianswife]

well how about those you turned onto Rufus(like me). You little converter box, you. Susan oh yeah, love the new tattoo.

[sign543]

LOL, nice....I think I'll get a tattoo of the Golden Girls.

[musosf]

OMG Rufus Rufus Rufus. Appear as rabid fan in audience in his live DVD at the Fillmore...check. Favorite live musical moment of all time is when he and Sean Lennon duetted on "Across The Universe" last summer on tour...check. Freaking out that you put "The Art Teacher" in the tags...check. Saw him perform that song live at the Apple Store before "Want One" was even released...check.

Yep, I might be obsessed with Rufus Wainwright. Glad to see you're a friend of Rufus too. :)

[sign543]

Rufus and I are like this (puts two fingers crossed)...okay, wait, we're just like this (fingers side by side)....I overshot, we're more like this (two fingers 3 inches apart). Okay, he has no idea who I am, but stop being so picky.

[mikeforduk]

lol ur so random i like it :P

[showersinger34]

omgomgomgomg i forgot, i was in math class and we were learning trig, right? so theres sine, cosine and tangent. i swear to rufus, everytime she said sine i though "543!" it was creepy!
