Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrell singing Whole Wide World written by Wreckless Eric

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There’s only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her

Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas
Where the Carribean sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody’s told her ‘bout you

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there’re girls all over the world

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in a heatwave there
Hoping that I won’t be long

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We’ll be sharing the same next of kin

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

In fact, when shooting the music video for her song, Duffy was caught unawares by the strength of her feelings. The tears she sheds are real ones, and if you have ever gone through a breakup, then you know how she was feeling. 

Interestingly enough, the director hadn’t intended for the entirety of the music video to be shot in the cab. However, with the real tears and the feelings that came through from Duffy that day, he felt the scene to be just right, and so continued shooting
