Rufus Wainwright - Wonderful/Song For Children

The original beach boys version is best, but this is an amazing cover

This is simply a beautiful work of musical art. Nothing can match the greatness of the original, but Rufus does capture much of the magic with this rendition. It will probably never be covered better.

No one can sing this song like Brian...

I am a fan of both RW & BW, but for me this dosn't really cut it... I mean, it's very good etc, but I don't think RW's voice is anywhere near Carl Wilson's in the BB original...

To be honest I also think that the mix of this is terrible - let's face it, the Beach boys were all about harmony, and you struggle to pick out the majority of the backing vocals in this! Yes, they're there, but they should be FAR more prominent in the mix...

All of the above is opinion. Please don't take offence! :)
