Wow, this song describes so much of how I feel. A little out of step, a little behind, not quite good enough or cute enough or smart enough. Always a little wrong. Rufus is so great.
Welcome to the ball! How did you discover him, too f I might ask? I’m discovered him in 1996...before he even had a record deal! I was living in Montreal and saw him live. He opened for his sister, Martha!
This is so gay...I love it so much... I wonder if it was his goal to make the gayest music video ever...if so I love him even more. I'm also digging the mustaches
Every time I listen to any of his songs, I feel like reaching through the screen and handing him a blanket and a pillow. He's just so bloody unique! :B
I hadn't listened to my extensive Rufus collection in a few months....listened to ever song today. Why the hell did I go so long without my Rufus?!?!?!?!
I will never be as cute as you, according to the board of human relations I will never fly as high as you, according to the board of public citations These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods All my little life I've wanted to roam Even if it was just inside my own home Then one little day I chanced to look back Saw you sittin' there, being a sad culprit These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods These are just the rules and regulations Yeah, these are just the rules and regulations And I like every one, yes I like every one Must follow them
@Rufus Wainwright I appreciate that. Even if you were to release a horrible song, I would listen to it.. (at least once). I often randomly just want to hear your music, and Alexa helps out. I did see you live in Ann Arbor, MI a long long time ago. I really enjoyed that show, and hearing you live.
Listen to "Unfollow the rules", his last album (released in 2020). Amazing! Now he's doing concerts with his sister Martha ( "Mother" recitals, songs related to mothers and, of course, their own mom, the great Kate McGarrigle)
Dont worry any of you, i am but a cat. A cat with a huge love for this man. Little does he know, I tell him everyday, but he replies "Oh, you're hungry kitty?" In which is always reply "Yes, hungry for a wedding, diamond rings and a glass of wine". He just give me some canned catfood, but I guess its close enough.
Hate to break it to you: there's a difference between being a straight girl and a gay man....and Rufus has just proved what I already knew, how fabulous and m
Where do you get one of those bathing suits? I was looking all over and couldn't find! (BTW, I'm newly discovering Rufus W. He's fantastic. I just bought his "Out of the Game" CD and love every track. What a great discovery!)
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see this as necessarily gay. I see him showing us what I take to be Victorian Age gentlemen, and saying that our rules and regulations are archaic. But then again, I might have missed something.
Would anyone like to offer an interpretation of this video? I like it... a lot... but I'm not sure what it's saying. (Possibly because I'm slow/tired).

Rufus is so great.
Ithinkyouregreat :)
There's not a weak song in Rufus' repertoire. One of the top songwriters of all time, with the voice of an angel.
This is an underrated gem, absolute masterpiece.
Great choreography! Rufus has a 1960ish quality to his vocal delivery that I like.
Just discovered Rufus, utterly brilliant, how have I missed this music for so long?!?!!? I love this song, especially the live version.

This was an absolute delight the first time I saw it, still makes me smile.

One of my top five favorite music videos. He keeps a Mona Lisa look on his face the entire time. LOVE IT.
What a talented songwriter.
What AVERY QUIRKY RECORD BY THE VASTLY UNDERATED RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
I think he’s only underrated by those who don’t know him. His fans are wild about him.
This was the first clip I ever saw and first time i heard from Rufus in MTV, and i fell in love with such a wit!
Every time I listen to any of his songs, I feel like reaching through the screen and handing him a blanket and a pillow. He's just so bloody unique! :B
There aren't many people who can carry this look off - Rufus is truley unique
I've loved his music but had never watched the videos. What a badass! I love him even more now!
+Rebecca Coleman I dance this way in the disco. Same tracksuit and moustache.
This is possibly the best video ever created.
I Love Rufus
A thoroughly epic Edwardian presentation....love it :)
I hadn't listened to my extensive Rufus collection in a few months....listened to ever song today. Why the hell did I go so long without my Rufus?!?!?!?!
We are hearing this for the first time, and admiring it for its beauty and sublimity.
God blessed us.
Very underrated tune by an underrated singer which I thought was brilliant.
i feel so good and happy listening to rufus :)
Not my typical style, but the guy is briliant, great music, one of the best
artists ever!!!!
Oh God, his voice is magical. I love his musical talent.
I will never be as cute as you, according to the board of human relations
I will never fly as high as you, according to the board of public citations
These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds, and the bees
The earth, and the trees,
Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods
All my little life I've wanted to roam
Even if it was just inside my own home
Then one little day I chanced to look back
Saw you sittin' there, being a sad culprit
These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds, and the bees
The earth, and the trees,
Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods
These are just the rules and regulations
Yeah, these are just the rules and regulations
And I like every one, yes I like every one
Must follow them
Angela Musso "Saw you sittin' there, the *innocent culprit" ?
Angela Musso obrigada!!
Back when this video came out they were Victorian bodybuilders, now they're just your standard everyday hipsters rocking their normal gymware...
Dos melhores compositores autores da atualidade! Obrigado!
Love, love this, very delightful song, great music!
3:04 - too late, Rufus. Everything's been on display long enough....;-)
Why does this make me feel so happy?
Is there nothing this amazing man can't do??
Luv 'im!!
I love the melody of this song
God is Rufus's fan.
Rufus is so so beautiful
I love you, and miss you Rufus. Looking forward to seeing you soon. -Gene

This song used to make me sooo happy when it first got out, but now i found it again in like 3 years and it makes me happy again lol
01:53 , dude in red shorts notices his wife entered the set and brought him lunch.
Love Rufus
love this!
This is probably the funniest I've seen.
Rufus is such a talent. I hope he's okay. Cos I've not heard much of his stuff recently
Listen to "Unfollow the rules", his last album (released in 2020). Amazing! Now he's doing concerts with his sister Martha ( "Mother" recitals, songs related to mothers and, of course, their own mom, the great Kate McGarrigle)
how and why and I am so so foolish to ever forget him....bring back my records to me

Rufus as Evelyn Waugh's Lord Sebastion Flyte. I am smitten.
Ruf I love your music .Damn
I want to like his music, I really do.
Love this video!

i'm damn straight, but i love this guy
Yep he is!
loving this video!!!ciao
He's so pouty... Its very cute... :)
I'm in love with him!
well said Anthony
Brilliant
Hahaha! Great video, great song.
Almost Monty Pythonesque
so true
Like a shifting mood lol
Being a genderfluid icon before it was even a thing! Love him!!!!
i love how at 1:17 hes getting into the song and he starts tapping his foot
awesome
you are not the only one! U_U
Great tune and video (and I'm straight lol)
it ever there's a talent show, and i enter it, i'd probably sing and act out this video
college radio stations seem to play this a lot.
My, what a packet!
❤

blimey
So cute)))))))))
he's such an oscar wilde kinda cool gay and with his smooth voice i could only care as little as i care reading oscar wilde :)
Be yourself
I love it!! Hi, hi, hi... Lol!!
Thank you Rufus. Yes, I still really enjoy your music. Happy New Year with Health and love, Mercedes
2:55 What A look!
Good
Can't help hearing trumpets like that and thinking of Penny Lane!!!
2:42 - 2:57 ... 3:36 - 3:58 That flute's also very Fool on the Hill.
Nice song if I ignore the video, especially the long johns!
I am fairly certain that was the school they used in Lost and Delirious.
This is so gay.
I love it.
he looks like an older version of kurt hummel! I love it too
music is great-dancers aren't to bad either!
How would you like to have Rufus as your personal trainer?
i don't think he would be very good at it to be honest ;-D
Maybe he would idk
As soon as I saw those mustaches...I knew something was up! -__-
Was this about soccer? I thought he had a project at one time where he was collaborating with someone to make a musical.
An opera? Because he did make an opera. I think it’s called Prima Donna.
Where do you get one of those bathing suits? I was looking all over and couldn't find! (BTW, I'm newly discovering Rufus W. He's fantastic. I just bought his "Out of the Game" CD and love every track. What a great discovery!)
@londonafter definetly
need new music Rufus ;)
Not to Mention, The Gods.
люблю под сливу
he's bloody hot!!!
Gay, Gay, Gay - I love it!!!
he was? who would do that hes the most innocent and sensitive man on the earth...and hes cute
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see this as necessarily gay. I see him showing us what I take to be Victorian Age gentlemen, and saying that our rules and regulations are archaic. But then again, I might have missed something.
Where's 'in these arms, tonight' ?
I will never be as cute as you.
Di vi no ❤
Someone needed to make a Picture of Dorian Gray film.
Would anyone like to offer an interpretation of this video? I like it... a lot... but I'm not sure what it's saying. (Possibly because I'm slow/tired).
@AntChaotix Some guys have all the luck
@sacozone pretty sure women say that because they find him attractive, most of them don't mean his music is ruined because he is gay..
@lilmisslaurie101 hahaha, Me to!
AND he is super hot.
