Wainwright, Rufus - Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart Lyrics
Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! went the strings of my heart
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
But keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you
I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made the skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
But keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you
I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will
I hope we'll never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my heart

Wainwright, Rufus Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart Comments
in the early 70s I saw Loudon Wainwright III at a club in Greenwich Village. Can't recall many details except that I loved it. I can remember only one lyric from a song about Jesus and it was "I am the way".......doesn't sound funny now but it was fucking hilarious. Even at a tender age, I knew it was good.
This is too sad to watch. He must be high on something. His voice is flat, he is jerking and bouncing around like a silly person. It is awful.
Happy Birthday Rufus!!!
Aside from the great orchestra.... I look at him perform and can’t tell if he’s a crazy lunatic or a genius
My genius love..Rufus. You could sing the phone book and I would still walk to hear you. im so grateful I'm alive at the same time as you because seeing you live sends me into bliss! Then I go home and I HAVE to hear your voice or I go nuts! I LOVED Kate and Anna And Loudon growing up. Love love love Viva Rufus Wainwright!
Yeeeeeaaaah 💫💦🌊💛🍯🌝🌞👐🏽🌈🌊👣⚡️🎆💦🐾👐🏽💛💛💛
💛FeltfeeeeeeeeeeeelZingggs ☝🏻️🌠😌
A fantastic arrangement of “Zing! Went the Strings of my Heart”. The band was Awesome!
However, this PROVES that not everyone is cut out to sing a classic, such as this.
Mr. Wainwright, I love you on other songs, but ‘Big Band’ is NOT for you. You appear to ‘mock it’, instead
of giving it the ‘respect’ it so greatly deserves.
Happy 45th Birthday Rufus Wainwright <3
I really really love how he dances. No problem what everybody could possibly think. Love him
Love you singing this song, your voice is incredible!! Hope you come to Brazil soon.
This is not Carnegie Hall as stated but The London Palladium with a British freelance band. Shame about the vocals ......
I love his exuberant delivery and his homage to Garland, but good gosh, he's so nasally and careless with his pitch. I still like this, however! 😉
Must have stuffed his nose 'cause I don't a clothespin. Must also have missed versions by Garland & Sinatra from which he could have learned plenty, notably to pick a different tune.
WHO IS THIS MESS SINGING GARLAND?????????????
c'mon, he's great :) especially the orchestra
Rufus did a great job on this song I really liked it but with that said watching he dance was like watching a comedy act...Steve D
dat ASS!!!
I might sing that Geoff's house on the same day
This song is fantastic because of the incredible "arrangement" of the brass section! Just listen to those trumpets go!! Its phenomenal. The crowd new it too, listen to the roar, after the bridge. I love Rufus's voice, but this arrangement is a "tour da force". Bravo the MD and arranger!!😀
A Nelson Riddle arrangement, originally written for the Judy in Love album.
I might sing that at Hurstvile and Miranda and Yowie bay and Kogarah and Bexley and South Hurstvile and Beverly Hills NSW
I love this song so much - Rufus does it proud with the Garland touch !! x
rufus, top guy!
Rufus I still love you, don't get me wrong. I couldn't help thinking during your dance break how the band kept on playing even though they probably wanted to bust up laughing. Jus sayin...
By Märta & Tarja ;D from Markkus arcs.
Another kicking ass performance!
Of herself. Rufus stinks here.
You're right. We don't have the drugs that you were obviously on that night. This plain sucks.
In every artist's life there comes a moment when he or she should be shot in the face. This was Rufus's.
Or you.
You'd better call a carpenter, Rufus..... because you NAILED IT! :)
I was at Carnegie Hall the first time he did this. What you don't get at all from this video is the huge amount of fun that the whole thing was.
Amazing band wasted on a karaoke singer.
Doesn't even compare to Judy. Why on earth would you copy someone else's concert song by song? UNORIGINAL COAT-TAIL RIDER!
Judy would be proud!
Baaahhh! It's not best version, no!
I sooooo agree with you!!! I am not impressed either. Check out my rendition. I try to capture more of the spirtit of Judy's rendition.
Oh Rufus is so fabulous <3
i love him.
ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL need I even bother > Fanookieo
Jon Cryer does it better....
He is the way we all should be. He is so perfectly special. Brilliant and lovely.
Wow. Most awkward dance break I may have EVER witnessed!!!
not a good voice. how is he popular?
Judy would not be impressed.
itsjulibeesh Yes You're right. Queen Victoria would not be amused, but damn cross. "Munshi!" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Send that awful singer to the Tower, pronto." "Yes, your Vickyness, eh, Your Majesty."
i love how delicate he is..the way he dances is cute
It's weird how this song is supposed to be fun and all, yet he still looks sad. There's something about him.. His eyes always have that sad look. .__.
I love Rufus to death and I don't mean to insult, but for a gay man he can't dance for s... !!!! Lol Love him!
insult to Judy Garland
Scary. Mockery of Judy.
Ann Miller!!
stupid youtube commercials
@whurdsderodan Wow. Ok :)
just yuck... not a fan.
Rufus <3
He has a literal heavenly glow!
Does sing it in an authentic 50s style. My favourite is the Moves version though.
He phrases well. But that's about it. His voice is weak and he can't move.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!
he's sliding his notes, his timing is out and he looks like a young cliff richard !!!
joanie leigh hemingway Love that dog! Yes but Cliff could sing and was sexier
POR FIN VOLVIERON A COLGAR ESTE VIDEO DEL GRAN RUFUS!!!!!
alguien podria decirme por que lo separaron???
Bravo Rufus ! Tu as eu toute une audace de refaire ce célèbre spectacle de Judy Garland et tu as su y démontrer toute ton énergie et tout ton talent vocal.
damn "depart" is out of tune. but boy is he expressive.. excellent job and that si what music is about
He approaches the note from below, just like Judy did in many of her later performances. See the 1963 TV show, for example.
What the fuck is wrong with people? This is a MUSICIAN and a video of music, not of a professional gay person. Is homosexuality so interesting? Okay! Let's not give a fuck in anything else, and instead just sit and call eachother fags (which is not really an insult, mind you) and mock the people who actually are. Fuck you, internet.
His Dad is a VERY talented singer/songwriter, look him up, Loudon Wainwright III
This guys thinking of sucking dicks the whole time, dont delete this its true.
@onetrashdancer
It's amazing you have internet access in that cave you obviously live in...
@onetrashdancer
Not too many straight guys spend all their time watching Judy Garland videos on youtube, but just keep telling yourself you're straight and maybe it'll become true! Oh and I think you mean beating (perhaps you should learn to spell before you post comments, oh and there's an apostrophe in that's... you fucking moron!)
@onetrashdancer
Change the record moron.... you're a tragic, brainless fuckwit
Just saw him on dinner with the band on IFC and he was mesmorizing on the piano
He looks like he's just went "Fuck it, I'm having a dance." :D
I love watching him in this video! He is having so much fun!!!
LOVE RUFUS
Hey friends check out my video response of the same song. I don't have a big band behind me but I think you will enjoy it just the same. Also, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to listen . . . so THANK YOU in advance. Best Wishes, Philip :-)
my girlfriend hates me because I like this video.. but i dont care =P
lovee himmm ~
