I saw the movie ONCE 20 years ago, and not again since...and hearing this song took me back there immediately. Tells you something (not sure what, but something....)

The whirring noise in the background is Carl Orf, wondering why anyone would do this to his Musicalisches Hausbuch.

Love this tune, not so much for the music itself but for a momentary escape back to the movie which had an absolutely great soundtrack from start to finish. One of Tarentinos best efforts in my opinion.

sounded sooo super cheesy to me... but that gave it some charm at the exact same time

Not my taste!

I don't even want to think about how you must have walked (crawled?) away from Bambi.

I think you have to see the movie to understand this particular song. It comes right after an utterly destructive shootout scene where your left wondering who is alive and who is dead.

I watched that whole film waiting for some terrible cliche violence to happen. It never did. Brilliant movie.

I don't know who does the music selections for Terrence Mallick's films, but for me it has spawned a whole new avenue of exploration.

Cool, this song has been running around in my head in bits and pieces and I couldn't remember enough of it to figure any of it out. Yea RP.

This was in the movie Finding Forrester I believe when Sean Connery is riding the old bicycle. Can't help but think of that scene, when listening to this.

Really! With a role like that Hopper really couldn't overact. He could have been merely cartoonish but he completely filled that character with evil. His role as the hopped-up photographer in "Apocalypse Now" was just as good. He must have been drawing from his personal experiences of drug-fueled craziness.

I first saw "Blue Velvet" in England with a girlfriend. We walked out feeling battered, pissed-on and generally slapped around. Outside the theater was this loud British prick laughing his head off and explaining to his equally shellshocked companions that the film was a brilliant send-up of America. I think we all wanted to beat the guy up but were just feeling too fragile.

Saw it again after a friend explained the film. Brilliant yes but one of the toughest cinematic experiences I've ever dealt with.

He's better as a supporting-role guy to me: "Rebel Without A Cause" or "Cool Hand Luke". He is great in "Easy Rider", though.

This track makes me smile every single time.
I could only stomach the first 30 minutes of the movie so I don't know if the tune is supposed to ironic, does not matter, this tune is too much fun to dislike.

For the record, I haven't seen this movie. And I'm crazy about Hans... he rocks. But this song is too LION KING... sappy... maybe was great watching the movie, but by itself.. bleh to the ninth degree. I gave it one because.. I like Hans.

This song is not cool at all.

Recently used in the movie The Descendents....wonderful..

2nded. Funny how innocent and bucolic this theme is juxtaposed on this uber-violent film.
