it's not slade, first off, and curt wild has nothing to do with oscar wilde - in the film it's jack fairy who finds his pin (but there's no implication that he's his descendant)...
anyway, i love this song. i do think the line "this wooing is one of mourning" is painfully beautiful. also, it is very nice to wail tunelessly along to in an exaggeratedly camp fashion, waving lipstick and boas about (but in slow motion, obviously, like a sad clown)
