but the song people makes no sense to me. I like this movie but does anyknow why people needing people are the luckiest people in the world. Needing people doesn't necessarily make you lucky, just dependent on others, which makes you human I suppose. Any thoughts?
shareI think she meant it was lucky to be in love.
shareShe didn't write the song - she just sang it, so she had to sing the words that were written for it. The lyrics are inane (We travel single, oh) - what does that mean? But the tune is nothing less than lovely, as one external reviewer put it. I don't know if the external reviewer appears in the reviews on imdb, so if you look for it, you may not find it.
share"Single-O" is slang for "alone." The expression predates this song (although I am not sure whether it existed in the time that scene takes place). Look at the words to the old Johnny Mercer song, "Single-O":
"Single O, all the way
Rain or shine
Gonna stay, single O
Till you're mine..."
"You must sing him your prettiest songs, then perhaps he will want to marry you."
Gosh, I never knew it was a real expression. Can I watch with no expression? Can I watch with no expression?
When Barbra was in Up The Sandbox, the director told her it was unlike anything she'd done before. She'd have to load a handgun in the car in the Statue of Liberty scene. He asked her if she was sure if she could handle a firearm. Can I handle a firearm? Can I handle a firearm? Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! Pkew! Pkew! Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! Pkew! Pkew! (the scene where in Funny Girl where she pretends to mow down the audience with a machine gun).

I think is about not being ati-social, i mean not needing your possesions but needing who's there beside you its a great son, but anyways it barely matches the plot of the movie at that scene with nick...
shareSocial service organizations use that song all the time to put forth the idea that "aren't you lucky to be disabled..you NEED people!"
It's messed up. The melody is beautiful, but the words make NO sense.
I don't think the need is intended to be a need that makes you dependant on people in a bad way. At that point in the movie Fanny was just talking about how both of them are lone wolves, she says: "You can get lonesome being that free" he answers "You can get lonesome being that busy." Her point with the song was, I feel, that both of them are at a point in their lives they are too 'independant' to need other people to love when in fact she sees the positive aspects of "needing" someone to share your life with. I'm not sure I'm putting my idea well into words, but maybe it's clear, somehow, what I mean.
