Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
I've Got The World On A String
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Looks like you got the world on a string)
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
And I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see? I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing
As long as I've got that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let you go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on the rainbow
I've got that string around my finger
Oh, what a world, and what a life, I'm in love
Life is a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a crazy so-and-so
If I should ever let her go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I got that string around my finger
Oh, what a world, what a life
Oh, what a world, what a life
What a world, what a life 'cause I'm in love
(He's in love, he's in love)
I'm in love
(Got the world on a string)
And what a wonderful thing
(Alright)
When you get the world (uh huh) on a string

It just goes to show you that, no matter how much time passes, the crooners of an age will always find their niche in society. It's hard to not be popular when you've got the looks, the charm, the attitude, and quite the voice; but it takes that certain charisma that's both sincere and honest that makes this man stand out.

One of things I truly love about Bublé’s story is that his poppa lived long enough to see his faith and hope in his little grandson repayed one hundred fold. Bublé is the result when someone has abiding faith in you.
