Rufus Wainwright - Bewitched

[Piergiorgio1311]

love this version..cool soundtrack from the movie

[petrushka3369]

Could you also put up the audio of the boys singing Blackbird?

[MissAqualung1]

The History Boys has such a beautiful soundtrack <3 <3 Thanks for uploading this here :__)

Btw, do you know where could I find Bye Bye Blackbird (sang by The History Boys)? I don't even know for how long I've been looking for it.

[LordCirque]

Can you post Samuel Barnett singing this and L'Accordeoniste? I can't find his L'Accordeoniste anywhere.

[Vanpants]

@LordCirque Just uploaded both of them for you!

[MrRedlet]

@Vanpants i love that song :D x

[Catmanga39]

Thank you! :DD

[JoeCaliforniah]

ugly. really. boring voice. fake. fucked up.

[jigshoop]

@JoeCaliforniah CHECK YOUR EARPHONES...

[Fretliner]

What a beautiful interpretation, thx for posting

[italotter]

As close as Roebucks is to Sears!!

[butifarra61]

child...good job.

[zanetierney]

i loved this movie so much!! seeing it sung to dakin in the movie just made my heart ache....love rufus' version of this!

[646guy]

This entire song is about sex....probably the reason I love it so much (and sing the shit out of it whenever I get the chance....just ask my ex......)

[SirJustinRyan84]

Does anyone know the brand of the satchel/school bag Dakin carries in the film? I've been looking for a proper one and like the look and size of his.

[tristessa56079]

Beautiful version, and a great film too!

[bedroomwalls]

Dakin, Scripps, Posner, Lockwood, Akthar, Crowther, Timms and Rudge brought me here. <3

[rowancboi17]

great film, great song

[zimmermanhead]

June Christy's is still the standout version - check it out.

The lyrics are ALWAYS butchered (presumably the censor had something to do with it) Hart originally wrote ...wouldn't sleep/until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep.

And nobody ever sings the great 3rd verse, the one that closes the musical.

[Lorenzo1366]

This is a beautiful rendition of the Rodgers and Hart song "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" from their musical PAL JOEY>

Thanks for posting!

[Lorenzo1366]

The full name of this song is "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and was written by Rodgers and Hart for their musical PAL JOEY.

Great rendition by Rufus. Thanks for posting!

[flyygrrlll]

great version rufus!!



[thegun1981]

it is IMPOSSIBLE(!!!) to find an mp3 of this song! i need to listen to it at least 5 times a day because it is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song i have ever heard.

[Razz1024]

also the guy that plays Rudge in this movie was in an episode of Dr.who season 5 just a little tidbit for you people.

[Razz1024]

you know for the longest time I thought this was a song for homosexual men although I loved it to death ever since I heard it on the closing credits of history boys. Only recently did I realize that Ella Fitzgerald sang it first. Anyways I absolutely adore this version of the song something about the way he sings it like he's out of breath or something like that.

[RatherObsessive]

Both Rufus Wainwright's and Samuel Barnett's versions are beautiful.

They are so different that there can't possibly be any kind of competition.

[grai]

is it the Rufus version they use on the final credits of the History Boys film?

[5023849465]

It sure is and that is when I discovered Rufus Wainwright, and the rest is history. Love the movie and love Rufus.

[ChrisJK94]

Rufus sings with his heart

[uclrichard]

i love samuel barnett's version even more...(but this is more professional, whatever that means)

[bashfulbadger]

samuel barnett's was also very tender. rufus has the life experience to distill into it though.

[bashfulbadger]

Fantastic version. I'm so glad I didn't give up on the film before the credits or I may never have heard it. Words could have been written for Rufus or by Rufus Those guys could really write songs.

[freerange0nerd]

makes me shiver with it's wonderfulness

[tsah]

on reapeat.

how could it not be?

the film is great, the song was already great.. but this version.. God... it's transcendental.

[hopeisdeadbitch]

love this song and the movie. i cry listening to it now cause i use to sing it when i met my boyfriend now that he is gone i hear it and think of him.

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

Thank you so much for uploading this - I've been listening to it over and over until my copy of the soundtrack arrives. This version is beautiful and works so well with the film.

[eveningthought]

My favourite movie ever, along with one of the most amazing songs ever written. I'm so smitten. Rufus is incredible.

[Ilikebeans1]

Delighted rufus covered this song : D Hes a genius x

[gonaruletheworld]

Hey, I love this song so much, but I can't find it to download anywhere at all. Could you find it in your heart to send me the mp3 please? If yes i'll send you a message or something with my email address.

xx

[EvanescenceBella]

he's very good, also LOVE his version of "Across the Universe" that he sings with Sean Lennon on acoustic..very very good singer!

[gmadix]

Vanpants - you will always rule. I have looked for Rufus' version on You Tube forever, and was disappointed. Today, you made it happen for me. He never stops in my town. Maybe someday. . .

[walkingtoNewOrleans]

I agree! Thank you, I've been looking everywhere for the Rufus Wainwright version!

x

[prothobs]

Same here thank you

[splato92]

@gmadix omg i agree totally, i couldnt find it ANYWHERE but now... i am complete. x

[5023849465]

Thank you for the correction. For some reason, I had connected it with the great Porter bio-movie "De-Lovely" with Kevin Kline. Who knows why?

[5023849465]

My Gosh, this is the song that made me aware of Rufus Wainwright. I loved the move "The History Boys" and appreciated the rendition of this song in the movie. When the credits ran, however, and I heard this beautiful sexy, smoky interpretation, I sought out the singer, and the rest is history. Cole Porter's songs were written with an ambiguous sexuality which I am sure caused him to chuckle. If he were still alive, I am he certain he would applaud Rufus' interpretation.

[wrkin9to5]

This isn't Cole Porter.  It's Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.

[nemzeti9]

I hope you're enjoying the "horizontally speaking" bit. Ella Fitzgerald sings a beautiful version of this - and longer. The "trousers that cling to him" isn't usually sung. "Pants" would be usual in the US - it's not usually sung either

[Vanpants]

Haha thanks for the feedback. The Ella Fitzgerald version is good too but wasn't the version I was looking for at the time (I actually just uploaded this to link to my bf originally - and somehow it became my most popular video)

[Atlavocat]

Excellent song - Actually nemzeti9 - thirty years ago men in the U.S. rarely used the word "pants" for men's clothing, "trousers" was the word used by men. One of the few advantages of being older is experiencing how language changes over time.

[meganthemagnificent]

@nemzeti9 Well Rufus is Canadian, trousers isn't used that often here. Maybe if this was just done for the movie, not sure.

[IamBen2]

my boyfriend and i just danced a while to this - just the sweetest moment :)

[oldixe]

@IamBen2 What's better than a slow dance to a classic tune? Rufus sings this song the way it should be sung - slow and sexy.

[Livfor1Love]

Thank you so much for posting this.  Rufus Wainright has such a lovely voice and History Boys was an awesome movie. I just watched it and immediately came to listen to this song after contemplating watching the movie again. I've decided to wait a little while but I'll probably watch it again tonight. I feel like watching it again I would pick up a lot of other things. So beautiful! Thank you!

[Livfor1Love]

I've become addicted to this song! Listening to it over and over-wonderful!

[alexandermh18]

LOVELY SONG

[Hoofer26]

I have been listening to this on repeat for days! my favorite version of the song!

[Kiddae27]

All three comments so far have got a smiley face.

That's no coincidence..this song + Rufus' voice = :)

[LikeRufus]

i love this film! and this song!

its wierd, i've actually just finished watching it and then my friend sent me this link out of nowhere

:]

[skittlesjc]

Lovely. :)

[vintagefish921]

I love you I love you I love you! Do you know how long I've been waiting for someone to post this?!?! I finally got the soundtrack last week but then I couldn't figure out how to put the song up here! Did I mention yet that I love you? :) :) :)
