Late Night Music Part 3..............Musical Movie Scenes
Ok, this one is iffy, but still just as funny and just as much of a guilty pleasure. To qualify for this category a movie had to A- NOT be a musical, B- Have to have the scene sung by a cast member. Once again, I am scouring youtube looking for these gem movie scenes that always seem to catch you off guard. Scenes not appearing on this group, but receiving votes were "The Last Battle Scene" in "8 Mile", Jack Black's introduction of the original song to the band in "School of Rock", Whitney Houston singing "I Believe in You and Me" in "The Preacher's Wife",Jennifer Saunders as Fairy God Mother and her "Holding Out for a Hero" in Shrek 2 and Chris Tucker's karaoke scene in "Rush Hour 2". Now onto the list......
"The Restaurant Scene" in "My Best Friend's Wedding". This movie just ROCKS, and I mean seriously ROCKS. It is SUCH a chick flick but I can't help it- it's so funny! Rupert Everett is the instigator of this hilarious scene by making up a story about how he met the lead character, Julianne Potter. Everett's character, George, is actually gay, but actually says that he "played gay" to win Julianne's love. His story adds the fact that he asked Dionne Warwick at a mental institution about Julianne. According to George, she simply responded with her song "I Say A Little Prayer For You". What ensues is an hysterical sing-a-long that the whole restaurant joins in on. This funny video can be seen here.

"The Duet" in "Rush Hour 3". This impromptu duet by Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan is hysterical on so many levels. First of all, how did they know that was gonna be the song? Also- why are they not using mics? Also- I guess the light guy had a sudden epiphany to put the spotlight on Jackie Chan coming down from the balcony. Also, only James Carter would try to steal the spotlight instead of accomplishing his goal of saving Genvieve. Even as he's being shot at, Carter continues to sing.......two of the best characters in movies.........EVER. This video can be seen here.

"Leaving On a Jet Plane" in "Armageddon". This scene is great just because its one of maybe 3 funny scenes in the entire movie. This movie is underrated- yeah it was a big budget "mainstream" movies that alot of real movie critics like myself love to hate- but the aspect of diversity and comic relief shown here is part of what makes this movie hilarious. Ben Affleck, who plays AJ, is about to leave on the planet saving mission, and is singing to Liv Tyler, Grace, before leaving. He breaks into "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and is harmoniously joined by Michael Clarke Duncan, Steve Buscemi, and Ken Hudson Campbell. Woops- interesting fact- this is the second movie ever that I cried watching. This hilarious scene can be seen here.

"Jumper" scene in "Yes Man". Jim Carrey caught me off guard on this one. This movie is hilarious, but the whole crowd joining in to sing this Third Eye Blind song being played by Carrey to try to keep Luis Guzman's character from committing suicide by jumping off a ledge is great. The fact that Guzman.....and the crowd including the firemen join in and sing make this scene classic. Check it out here.

"Wannabe" from "Chicken Little". This movie is good, in fact, it's in my top 5 animated movies ever. This movie is not only hysterical between Joan Cusack (Abby Mallard) and Steve Zahn (Runt of the Litter). This random scene really has nothing to do with anything in the movie, and really caught me off guard. I wish I had friends that I could just karaoke to crappy 90's songs with. Oh, the ideas we get from movies. This clip is here.

And I can't believe I initially forgot, but of course one of my favorites is the "Johnny B. Goode" scene in "Back to the Future". Michael J. Fox, who had gone back in time to have his dad get his mom, thus letting himself keep in existence, winds up playing the Chuck Berry hit with a group called the "Starliters" at his parents senior prom. Fox actually played the guitar AND sang on this scene. I am not an overly huge fan of this movie like some people are, but I do love this scene and I do love MJF. The ending of it is particularly funny. Watch it here.
