DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? (singing starts at 1:38)
Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso/You won’t go any more, amorous butterfly
Notte e giorno d’intorno girando/Fluttering around inside night and day
…Lestat knows this entire song.
Tom does our beloved Lestat so much justice here. That he can be so joyous at such a bizarre moment, to the point of dancing w/ a corpse (especially considering how vampires have little tolerance for even being NEAR dead bodies), really shows how much sunshine he really does have bursting inside him. He’s elated that Louis is FINALLY GETTING IT.
Also, re: *~Butterflies~*
Those 2 dogs Louis kills instead of the gorgeous older lady?
They’re papillons. French for “butterfly.”
That lady even says that and translates for us: “My papillons, my butterflies, you killed them! Ohhh noooo…!” Butterflies go through metamorphosis; so does everyone who gets turned into a vampire in this movie.
Regarding the Nicki audio, it’s originally from an interview given to a french channel by ballet dancer Jonathan Klein, who took part in a french talent show competition around 2012. You can find the video the audio was taken from here: https://you tu.be/Rwl21dY2934
That would be the Piano Sonata in Eb by Joseph Haydn ;D
WHICH, IIRC, Tom had to actually learn how to play, because we do see a shot of his hands. His version sounds tuned differently than the version below, and if so, that would make sense bc Lestat himself is ~tuned differently~ in this scene.
^Go to 3:18 for the start of Lestat’s piece.
He plays Haydn in that scene because Claudia loved his music. It was a taunt.

It’s Armand and it’s actually canonand one of my favorite parts to visualize in QotD(although it’s honky-tonk not ragtime, but their styles are related) I mean, just imagine Daniel waking up to that, looking completely DONE.

It’s update time! You were right
@i-want-my-iwtv in your assumption that Lestat would love it.
Now go ahead and imagine them dancing to these tunes.
#IT GOT BETTER
Thanks for the update, @luthi69! If anyone is in a bad mood, just TRY and keep that mood with this bouncy happy music on, JUST TRY.
And now I AM imagining Lestat, Daniel, and Armand paying a jazz band to play this all night at a club in NOLA, dancing to it w/ people and having such a good time ❤
