A perfect pairing of Sound & Vision part 16. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Once More, with Feeling

Part 16 is from a TV show. The musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. 'Once More With Feeling'. One of the all time great TV episodes. I'm not joking.

Unbeknownst to it's inhabitants the populace of Sunnydale is under a spell cast by a tap dancing jazz hands demon. They all keep bursting into song and no-one knows why. It's an hour of TV full of brilliant music. It's a unique novelty episode too in that it uses its songs to move the story forward in surprising and moving ways. But this bit is special. A beautiful scene and a magic moment where we see Tara explain to Willow just what she means to her. Plus if you listen to the lyrics it's chock full of innuendo and manages to end with a scene I'm amazed got past network TV censors. 



A 3 minute long bit of sound and vision perfection.
