Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk -Rufus Wainwright Official video

[mrghin22]

This song and everything about it says Nilsson. I am not complaining, I like this...good job

[krapticfool]

kinda reminds me of Julian Casablancas

[whtsthfck]

nice shoes

[MisterMassador]

HIMYM



[YuriKeyes]

Straight male here really confused by the debate over HIV and sexual orientation that's crept into the comments on a video of a brilliantly written song by the musical powerhouse that is Mr. Wainwright. Can we agree that Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is an amazing song?

[ThunderButt89]

You are all gayer than a two dollar bill.

[spotlessmindofmine]

@ThunderButt89 hahaha and how gay is a two dollar bill exactly? i bet it's ecstatic.

[26095]

@ThunderButt89 You say that like it's a bad thing. But you... you are just sad. Pathetic, really.

[lookatmycommentplz]

Questionable shoe choice

[brianspenceni]

I'm a little bit Irish! Love this song, and the politics are bullshit. Music should be culture-free. Rufus is an extremely talented guy - love him!

[model23girl23]

Now I'm cooking chocolate milk...umm yummy

[SlamJaw]

This is bullshit. Poor Loudon.

[123jsbach]

@SlamJaw this is not bullshit. it is the dogs bollocks though.

[MidnightAngel606]

great song when morning smoking

[IFUCKINGLOVEYOUTOO]

I wouldn't mind smoking a few reefers and drinking some choc milk with this guy. I need a voice like this.

[Nathalorial]

Ah, one of the suggested theme songs for Badou Nails from Dogs: Bullets and Carnage =) Never heard it till now, but it sounds cool.

[tinkerbell716]

listen to his voice too long and your ears start ringing.. loll i still love his voice and songs :) <3

[gleekFinnhudson]

chocolate milk is weed

[GoreyOr]

@gleekFinnhudson Weed is an herb. Chocolate milk is processed dairy.

[MrMikePearce]

Ahhh this is just great...Get the silly arguments off the top comments please >.>

[Bread9002]

it was a strange incident that first got me listening to Rufus Wainwright. I had downloaded (please don't bash me) quite a few Elliott Smith songs, one name cigarettes was actually this song :) thanks Elliott for expanding my musical tastes

[LillaVieira]

Everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger

A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me

(...)

It isn't very smart

Tends to make one part

So brokenhearted

[gordonpimple]

key words:: "friendly intervention."

[LouVivaMorrissey]

I LOVE CLOGS

[MetaJay1]

what a fucking genius.

[DonovonCrane]

What're the chords to this song?

[ForThePriceofACoke]

oh he is so pretty!! those puppy eyes get me!

[giddyinc]

23 people are addicted to the dislike button.

The number of cases of acclaimed "assoholics" seems to be growing every day. Very few people know about this rapidly growing addiction. Please, keep yourself safe by being considerate, compassionate and intelligent. Don't become another part of the crowd, it only leads to a life of loneliness.

May those suffering from this horrible addiction get well soon and learn to live happy, warm-hearted lives!

---

Also. this song is amazing!

[miaslover]

thats like me when I go for my walks :)

[Stjimi92]

@miaslover Sorry but really? on your "walks" you consider your heavy drug use, your self-destructive and prodigal lifestyle living off inherited fortunes and how it leaves you a physical and emotional mess but you enjoy it anyway?

[miaslover]

@Stjimi92 er...no...I didnt mean it in that way

[Sunyata111]

@Stjimi92 Actually it's pretty common to contemplate life on "walks". I think many great revelations and contemplations were accomplished because of a good walk. What's more important to consider than your own heavy drug use and lifestyle?

[Kekszolo000]

AMAZING!

Kiss from HUN

[TVsJester]

stupid drum beat kills this song. Rufus doesn't need it, he is a god.

[feroxcvpiditas]

The added drum track is strangely arbitrary and well...wrong.

[ZorbatheFranc]

Why does everyone seem to think all of Rufus' songs are about guilt over being gay? "The Maker Makes" had a similar stupid comment.

[bunkafashioncollege]

anyone know where this video was filmed? 

[narwalluvr]

Sexy devil you are Rufus.

[MrGermantim]

Yes he is gay, and the "other cravings" are methamphetamine 

[ciaracustard]

@ZornSunshine Well I wouldn't usually tolerate the crocs but Rufus can style them out pretty fucking good. Seriously though, I think he's beautiful - like a young Nick Cave.

[123jsbach]

@ciaracustard Crocs are never a fashion statement. They are waterproof and comfortable, but ugly as fuck. However, I feel I have to point out that it looks like Rufus is wearing cloggs, which are all that crocs are, except not as comfy or waterproof. Just saying.

[PomBare]

Brilliant song, terribly produced. Live version is much greater

[cleanpalette]

@PomBare I agree with you a lot on this. The live version is much more intricate and conveys the meaning of the song better. But, you can't deny that this version is good, too. It's catchy. Also, I like this version for the video :))

[MsFelixtheCat50]

@PomBare I have to agree, the beat thing going on in the background just doesn't fit...were they trying to ghetto it up to appeal to more people?

Comparing this to his music video for Going to a Town, there has been an astounding amount of improvement since this video

[olifurrrr]

Cigs and choc milk are just a couple of his cravings.... hmm i probably don't want to know about his other cravings! great song tho

[gleekFinnhudson]

is he gay ?

[dan0sx]

@gleekFinnhudson yes

[Bhasarrived]

Questionable sexuality

[els9874]

@Bhasarrived....how is it questionable? He's gay. No questions there.

[Saiirah374]

What album is it off?

[ciaracustard]

@ZornSunshine Really? I think he's goregous.

[Experimentada1]

Amazing song ♥ I love it

[Ceejayismyname]

This song makes me intoxicated.

[123jsbach]

Fags and chocolate milk are a fab combo, but who woulda thought it would sound this good in a song!?

[atkersong]

First Rufus song I ever heard. And it only took about 10 seconds to be completely in love.

[GeelovAr]

<3



[GeorgiePPuddinPie]

I luv you sedwick117, although Godiva chocolates does it for me. Cigs and chocolate are saved for the stressful times. Interesting song.

[BoogeyPanda]

he just looks soo... bored. but his music is fantastic!

[cleanpalette]

@BoogeyPanda That's the point :P This song is about addiction, and how it can make us dead inside. 

[ThornWitch]

Wow... really prefer the version with just him and his piano. The drums in this just drown out his super-human amazing piano skillz ;)

And the flat notes in this are just, like... awesome :3

[Ryan58981]

@GGWB1999, he's not British. Sorry to tell you, he's actually Canadian-American. I didn't know either

[GGWB1999]

he is british u idiot u can tell when he sings and i am really young and i know that

[3BodhiSvaha]

@GGWB1999 You are wrong.  The end.

[Kayla82988]

@GGWB1999 lol he isn't British..........moded

[MangoStarrx3]

I was watching a gay movie on Logo channel... and i SWEAR to GOD he was a gay guy in it :D either that or someone who looked exactly like him ._.

[RuFFNuTTProductionz]

Fuuucken crocs... we meet again...

[assassinx12]

is this dude like chinese? mexican? white? Cant tell. Name sounds very white tho so i guess hes white

[mtailgator]

@assassinx12 French Canadian

[dangerousmuse1]

Congratulations! Rufus is a father! Viva katherine Wainwright Cohen :)

[RenSanti]

@sedwick17

Seven Stars and a glass of whole milk is my fairy tobacco+dairy combo

[gleekFinnhudson]

WOW no one in my school has heard this thoose bastards

[gooseandsmokes]

The Soundtrack to my adult life.

[Loron316]

See, back when I played dungeons & dragons we knew the best way to kill a troll... Kill it with fire.

[buny101]

the whole verse goes as (explanation in parantheses):

And then there's those other things

Which for several reasons we won't mention (homosexuality)

Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger, a little bit harder

A little bit deadly (erect penises and AIDS)

It isn't very smart (gay=stupid)

Tends to make one part ((actually was first writeen "depart" as in death)

So brokenhearted (for both parents and their hell bound children who are gay)

His words, not mine.

[dentoncallander]

@buny101 While you are clearly an idiot, who here wouldn't agree that erect penises are deadly? What a good way to go though...

[soxoncox]

@buny101

If you're going to bullshit please do it within the constraints of your own mind and don't pain the rest of us with your homophobic, uneducated, mindless crap.

If you'd bothered doing any research you'd know that the biggest cause of HIV worldwide is HETEROSEXUAL SEX not gay sex you tool. I'm pretty sure HARD drugs are more likely to kill him than hard penises.

"Being gay=stupid"... yeah 'cus that's not a stupid, uneducated comment at all. You know what = stupid? Your homophobia.

[TheSebP]

post your revolutionary insightful ravings somewhere and just call him a peasant wanker!

[Delathblue]

@soxoncox While Buny101's statements seem not necessarily true, and perhaps purposefully offensive, yours seem to have the same faults. If people do not share their opinions, how are they to be corrected? I posit it is beneficial for all to discuss the world as they see it. I would support the cause of researching statements made. However the insulting terms you use do not seem to have persuasive intent.

[lcmtvbreath4]

@soxoncox may be transmitted more heterosexually now, but who passed it into the heterosexual community? Even more reason to recoil in horror...

[ChristinaZeak]

@soxoncox YESSSSSS.

[Akkad100]

@soxoncox Pfft that's why the new epidemic predicted in the eighties that was striking down so many young men never materialized, I guess. Doesn't seem to be a lot of concern about the transmission of AIDS among heterosexuals, I'm afraid.

[Delathblue]

@buny101 I'm pretty sure those are his words and then your words, not exclusively one or the other.

[buny101]

did you notice when sings about, "and then there's those other things

which for several reasons we won't mention..." there is a shot of the church spires (13 spires reaching into heaven). This is indicative of the 13 lovers and their spires and how they are keeping him from heaven. Poor soul, he knows those penises are going to keep him from heaven. This is such a sad song of acceptance of his fate ordained to hell.

[Acerbitas]

@buny101 Uh, or he's talking about is struggle with addiction.

[DrWeiland]

@Acerbitas Nah, all he's talking about is life ;-)

[Pinker33]

Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of Leo Kohorst.

He introduced this song to me and it makes me smile.

[buny101]

sad that a talent as his is going to burn in hell for all eternity. Sad.

[lupocephalic]

@buny101 troll harder

[buny101]

@lupocephalic if I were trying to "troll" then I wouldn't bother wasting that comment on a site that gets approximately one comment per day, would I?

[lupocephalic]

@buny101

Not trolling? Ahh ... Well then.... Take your bigoted bronze age bullshit elsewhere, you hateful little cunt. You knew very well it would go over like a skunk at a sunday school pic-nic, so go fuck yourself.

Trolling for lulz is acceptable ... Honest bigotry is not ... Please leap from a great hieght.

[buny101]

@lupocephalic bronze age? Lol! I plan on bringing about the new age of love and order. It's called the taliban. The fastest growing religion is the religion of peace, and through methods of peace, they urge their homosexuals in their midst to abstain from sinful practices. For males, this includes super glue. I am starting a mosque next week. They are the future. Bronze age? Stone age, actually, and yet, still the future...

[lupocephalic]

@buny101

Suddenly the words of Admiral Ackbar echo in my mind.

[xxxKATE2293xxx]

@buny101 It amuses me that attention-seekers like you actually think they'll succeed....

NoH8 x

[anitaguti187]

LOVE IT!

[CLuTcHMasTeRFLeX]

worst thing ive ever listened to

[iluchristian1]

@CLuTcHMasTeRFLeX then get out and stay away

[CLuTcHMasTeRFLeX]

@iluchristian1  faggot.

[iluchristian1]

@CLuTcHMasTeRFLeX nobody cares about your sexual preferences

[sarahification13]

Everytime I listen to this song I always think "Why is The Office theme song playing"?

[texastodd1954]

Great stylistic music! The melodies are inescapable.

[jazzandmint]

I am madly in love with anything having to do with Rufus Wainwright. :)

[Windflower63]

Love it :)

[misshorseyhottie]

@watnotch those aren't even close to they lyrics

[handsdown101]

@misshorseyhottie lol no doubt

[watnotch]

somewhere in the world

the strreets are paved with gold,

the US has streets spakled with gum.

A lessening tightrope......

[Hhersoug]

I love the song, he looks retarded when he plays the piano while looking at the camera

[PomBare]

What a tragedy this record is compared to the piano acoustic version he plays live, I just don't understand why he'd cheapen it this way

[skellytun]

He looks like Kristen Wiig. LMAO. I think I saw him open for Tori Amos years ago? Could be wrong. I immediately bought his album.

[skellytun]

He looks like Kristen Wiig. LMAO

[mayaDUDE998]

@4Minikin lol yeah if I was a gay guy I would be like YES!but thats just me :P

I never got to see him in concert,lucky you... :(

[mayaDUDE998]

when I had a little crush on him and found out he was gay I was crushed :( but now Im just his devoted fan lol

[marouan1020]

Best Melody Ever !!

[yorunohoshii]

smoking is not cool

[2000everett4]

Can't get this melody out of my head. I love ciggy's and chocolate milk too, oh yeah and Rufus.

[BBoydgirl1]

What a beautiful and brilliant man Rufus is! I will always adore this man!

[goingtoscotland]

cigarettes and chocolate milk together are amazing. not the song, the song's okay, but not that great.

[SHIRLYevron]

i actually prefer the Nataly Dawn version

but its a great song:)

[rmw247]

@SHIRLYevron i'm glad you said that. i like her cover a lot.

[danzemuzik]

"always been a shoe made for the city" ...uh, rufus....sorry but your shoes aren't very fitting for any occasion!

[vivaconcordia]

@danzemuzik

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! Sorry, love you Rufus, but that was funny :D

[andreabaer1]

I so feel alike...

In this case I'd be happy to be a man to maybe attract this very handsome young man...

[andreabaer1]

I so feel alike...

[JiMyHAE]

great headphones !!

[MrPigfatbitch1]

Questionable shoe choice.

[thebandnork]

@MrPigfatbitch1 bahahahahahahaha

[abciance]

@MrPigfatbitch1

and when you see comments like this you know the fans are gonna be limp and weak minded and the music is probably mainstream droning pop hooks and melodies and wailing some cheese filled lyrics lol

[ChigirisWrath]

@MrPigfatbitch1 I love that you noticed that. Amusing...

[timjharrison]

Do you ask somebody if they are straight?  What does his sexual preference have to do with this song?

[toitybeee]

I love the song, but this is one of the lamest music videos I've ever seen.

[andreabaer1]

He's soooo talented and good looking...

[nicotinebrain]

what a dooopeyy song! XD

[EdNortonisMineLol]

He's so handsome... makes me wish I was a gay man! :L

[11Rebell11]

I sounds a bit like Nik Kershaw now.

[MrMadwolf92]

I think this dude needs to splurge for a collar button.

[sedwick17]

i quit smoking but strangely enough Marlboro lights and bordens dutch chocolate milk were one of my favorite combos.

[denabean]

i don't care if you're straight. but i do care if rufus is gay. he's awesome!

[theEmilyHaney]

chocolate milk, yes. cigarettes, ehhhh.

[jmcgrizzle07]

this is terrible

[megapain500]

@jmcgrizzle07 youre terrible

[jmcgrizzle07]

@megapain500 nice

[merbert12]

i cant lie rufus, i crave the same things

[ChipKoekjes]

i absolutely love his smile at 2:40 and 3:18 ! <3

[danzemuzik]

@ChipKoekjes i knoww gorgeous much :O

[bananachip33]

I don't care if he's gay or not, he's rather good looking.

[fkholmes]

@schizoiddruid

hey ashleigh

[Rytah01]

"a little bit Irish" <3

[dritch11]

this is pretty good who cares if hes a flaming homo

[Sellercigarettes]

I love smokers!

They - my life and my business.

[darkbutnotemo]

FURIA LATINA

[JadyLester]

torching without goggles and guys with handlebar moustaches...

[lovesGenet]

Yeah ,Yeah,Yeah  rhymes with gay , gay , gay . This is da music for our time!

[yourwhackfoo]

i love this song!!!

[moonstonemama]

An amazing songwriter, like his dad.

[supernene68]

love this song!! but, why is he always so serious?

[marionestephens]

Ur just amazing that god I've been lucky enough to see you play & meet you.... ur the best Rufus

[Htrerise]

he's so hot I wish he wasn't gay lol

[icec0rpse]

GREAT FUCKING SONG!!! Reminds me of good times.

Sentimental Valiums...

[skatapoopy]

to bad this is like the most boring video EVER!

[goochboy347]

if peaple can love ellen she deals with some big stars like cloney and timber lake if we love her we can aso love rufus for being gay i mean ther put her on american idol

[Yeeaaaaaahhhhh]

LOL at how he says cravings at the beginning.

[denisedc]

I love this song, everything about it. I can relate. And is that downtown L.A? It looks like near the Diamond District.

[Lonelykeanefan]

love that coat...

[azuremlk]

Dude, haven't heard this song in yeeeeaaaars. Ah, brings back awesome memories. I love Rufus lol.

[Htrerise]

perverts are perverted

[binkles79]

he needs to date MIKA!

[LimeGirl08]

@binkles79: I like Mika, but I don't see them together at all. Very different styles and as far as i know Mika is a very picky little boy. And his second release sucked because he increased the "childish" factor by 10.

[chumshot1]

@LimeGirl08 LOL it's true

[skatapoopy]

@LimeGirl08 Mika fucking sucks

[ombregrise]

lol at 3:12

i love rufus, he speaks for so many people

[theocean1973]

i like how a song about whims and addictions has an ad for "smoking cessation".

[PepperLust1]

maybe he does drunks..thats why he craves chocolate milk.

[leondenis00]

Hey Ruffus, Quit smoking and quit chocolate and milk. Bad for your health! But great for songs like this masterpiece...

[BruDiggity]

I'm not saying whoever mixed this did not do a good job... but it wasn't necessary. The song was fine enough by itself.

[louistop89]

@BruDiggity this version is the last song on "Poses" entitled Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk reprise

[ombregrise]

@BruDiggity it's just that this version is more radio-friendly and accessible
