Favorite musical numbers in non-musical movies...
What I mean by that is:
There are movies (mostly comedies) that have musical numbers come out of nowhere.
So, what are some of your favorites?
I like the "Get Up Offa That Thing" number performed by James Brown and danced by Dan Aykroyd and a group of people dressed as hookers and pimps in "Doctor Detroit".
I'm also a fan of the Elisabeth Shue/Albert Collins duet "Babysitting Blues" in "Adventures In Babysitting".
Anymore?
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...

I second Brook’s mention of Singin’ in the Rain
In a different vein:

Great call on In Dreams and CK guys. Of course Monty Python goes without saying.
Bill, I would have included something from The Ruling Class, but it has enough songs that it could be considered a musical.
