Wonderful, Wonderful

Wonderful, Wonderful is a popular love song originally created by Johnny Mathis but entered infamy as the theme of choice for Edmund Peacock, the patriarch of the twisted Peacock Family - who acted as the main antagonists of the X-Files episode "Home".

The song was constantly played by Edmund as he drove the family car, symbolizing his admiration and pride in his family and their incestous "love" for each other - it is infamous for being played on loop as he and his "brothers" beat the local sheriff to death, as well as being played at the end of the episode when Edmund and Mrs. Peacock escape to create a new Peacock Family after escaping capture by FBI Agents Mulder and Scully.

While the song was originally made by Johnny Mathis the version used in "Home" was done by a sound-alike as Johnny Mathis did not allow his original track to be used, as he objected to the horrific nature of the episode : despite this it has gone down as one of the most disturbing villain themes in X-Files and TV culture.

Lyrics
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea

And we breathe in the cool salty air,

You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes

And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful my love.

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill

And we gaze at the earth and the sky

I turn to you and you melt in my arms

There we are, darling, only you and I

What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful my love

The world is full of wondrous things it's true

But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evenings I sit by your side

And we're lost in a world of our own I feel the glow of your unspoken love I'm aware of the treasure that I own

And I say to myself, it's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful my love!
