Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

It took me a while to warm up to Rufus Wainwright's music, even though I knew he was very well-respected as an artist and really liked his cover of "Hallelujah" (as played in Shrek).  Fortunately, when my friend sent me this song years ago I saved it in the hopes that I would eventually grow to like it, and it worked.  Much later, after listening to another song that made me start to really like his music, I went back and listened to this song again, and appreciated its ironically cheery tone and clever lyrics.  Which are about drug addiction.  o_0  So yeah, some dark comedy right here!

And how could I NOT include the live performance? (I am SO JEALOUS of his piano skills!!):
