Was when the homeless cabaret singer showed up in drag holding balloons at Amanda Plummer's office and sang about the video spot.

There's a similar scene in 'Brazil' where a cabaret singer goes to the main characters home and sings out an invitation to a party. It seems Gilliam puts a lot of similar scenes in these two movies. In fact, this is almost like a different, more optimistic version of Brazil.

For me that was the worst scene of the film. Made no sense. Hurt my ears and my head. Couldn't even tell what he was saying. He was not singing - he was screeching.

shareHis singing hurt the ears and the sight of him hurt the eyes, lol.
