There are two types of Twin Peaks fans. Those who adore this scene, and those who despise it. I lean much towards the former! It's classic Lynchian weirdness, and a hallmark of his work featuring all the way back as far as Eraserhead. I could see why the falsetto vocals grate on a lot of people's ears. The composition of the scene is just as weird, with Donna and Maddy set-up on the floor awkwardly while James looms just above them, bent at the knee. Taken at face value, someone could interpret this scene as pure cringe with a stupid song, but there's so much going on, as a burning love triangle rages silently in the background of the whole affair. I give so much credit to Lara Flynn Boyle and Sheryl Lee here, they absolutely nail the subtle facial expressions needed to make this work as much as it does. Yes, the song itself is artificial and sickeningly sweet, but to just look at it for that alone is to miss the point.

Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under.
