Lady in the Radiator: [singing] In Heaven, everything is fine. In Heaven, everything is fine. In Heaven, everything is fine. You've got your good things. And I've got mine.

Composed by Peter Ivers
Lyrics by David Lynch (uncredited)
Performed (Sung) by Peter Ivers and Fats Waller (as "Fats" Waller) (Pipe Organ)
The events draw you along in morbid curiosity as Henry goes about his business, fate not being very kind to him at any particular point. The pacing is slow enough that one has time to muse on the meaning of what transpires while the dank grim surroundings press down on oneself as they do on Henry.
Should be watched in the evening with darkened lights. It is a trip, if you are willing to take it.
Those who are bored should not watch it. They should rent 'Rambo', or perhaps 'Smokey and the Bandit'.
