| I've heard this songs many times over. But the time when it most impacted me was when I watched Bowling For Columbine. There was this part in the show where black and white videos and pictures of significant events (often brought about by the US) that led to the deaths of many innocent people. This song played in the background throughout that time. For those of you who watched Bowling For Columbine, I'm sure you would agree it's one of the best parts of the show, though this song was used to achieve irony. | |

| This is possibly one of the best songs of all time. Louis wrote this somewhere way back during the early jazz years and its pretty amazing how the song and he survive all this time. The lyrics mean as much now as they did back then and that can only mean that the song will never change or get old as time goes by. It's one of those songs you can hear even when u're down and just realize that aside from whatever you're going through there still is that other part of life that we can come back to and know is there... | |

| I do not think he is denying the bad things in this world. I think he is just appreciating the good things that are there. Don't you just sometimes stop and think, man, life *really* is a wonderful thing... | |

| Adding to that above, there is devastation in the world I agree but still there is some good and happiness you can't always ponder on all the bad things happening. | |

| This song sounds very good. However it's my favorite example of "Ignorance is Bliss". It's a wonderful world while people all over the world die of starvation and diseases, while corrupt politicians steal money and make bad decisions, while the oil begins to run out and the economy goes down, while new wars start, while we polute with radiation and greenhouse gasses that deplete our atmosphere. People are so egoistic. | |
