Terrible intro

We see a gray city scene and then a luxury car goes by while suspended on wires. Then a terrible song starts: my grandma is your grandma. Don't you hate how directors just randomly choose songs to throw into their films? Remember the old days when they actually had original soundtracks?
Anyway after this junk we see a good film; surprise---or is it? Not with 2 legends starring in it!

Farting in a phone booth makes up for it's issues.

Such a classic song! Very popular throw-back for 1988.

I am not 100% but I think it's in public domain, the studio pays no fees for using it.

I quite like the song, actually.

Did you go to the same institution as Ray? That song is retarded. But now I see how it fits the movie, along with that autistic woman screaming during the vegas part.

I’m sorry, but what is retarded about “Iko Iko”?

The threadstarter is trolling right? Either that or Adam60z has very bad taste.

It's a fabulous song and scene.
