Singing In The Rain vs. A Clockwork Orange's Singing In The Rain

Featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange the main character of Alex starts singing singing in the rain, the classic song from the classic movie, while him and his gang are beginning the process of raping this women and beating her husband. The difference in the two is the context in which they are being sang. In the original version the main character is happy and in love, while in A Clockwork Orange Alex is taking part in a rape in which he loves to partake in. So they are both in love however the context is different.
