there are a lot of montauges in this movie

but I don't think it is the number one song... a lot was shown during that song.

I think I know what scene you are talking about... they take their final and there are close ups of kent eying chris taking his test. Chris abruptly looks at him and kent goes back to his test...

meanwhile we have a lovely look at chris's eraser on his pencil a penis.

I actually think that some of these instrumental scores are made just for the movies they are in. if you notice how the song kind of lifts when something unexpected and quick in the movie happens.

I'm guessing part of the score. I used three different song recognition apps (Shazam, Sony, and Google), and only Shazam was even able to make the correlation to the movie Real Genius....but gave no song title.



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

I think it's part of the score by Thomas Newman. He's composed scores for 115 movies (according to IMDb). My favorites are the scores for Desperately Seeking Susan, The Shawshank Redemption, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Revenge of the Nerds.
