Top 10 Unexpected Singing Moments in Non-Musical Movies

[@klausoshaunacey8429]

I don’t think anyone expected “Take Me Home, Country Roads” to be in or to be sung as well as it was in Kingsmen 2

[@jacobhoffman188]

I remember being in middle school when Anchorman came out, every kid was obsessed with. We were at that age where a lot of the stuff would go over our heads. I remember me and my buddies practicing the song the way they sang it in this scene and getting looks of confusion and concern from adults, we had little to no idea how sexual the song was.

[@gracieliz95]

I like "Jumper" in Yes Man.

'Afternoon Delight' from "Anchorman" was a big bag of awesome perfection & is arguably top 5 spontaneous singing #'s ever, in my opinion. Also, "Nacho Llbre" is so underrated, it's a tragedy. It's truly hilarious.

[@dwightpilotin7958]

[@judithonyancha6827]

[@blackclover2119]

Wasn't that lip synching to the song though?

[@jimmydeguzman8254]

Lip sync not included.

[@Paul12169]

[@vanessastegall]

Cant believe they didn't include the Pippin (aka Peregrin Took) song from Return Of The King . Talk about unexpected singing moments , a beautiful folk song in the middle of a battle scene that actually works . Amazing

How could you cut off the Almost Famous clip before she said “You are home” ? A moment that makes me misty eyed every time lol .

I said it out loud. You probably did too. For those of us who feel something in that moment of the story, the affect was there, even without saying the words.

I just watched Stepbrothers and thought the aria sung by Will Ferrell near the end was totally unexpected and incredibly well done. I found it hard to believe that he really sang it (and John C. Reilly actually played the drums on it; actually only the very end of his drumming was impressive).

Pirates of the Caribbian: the hanging scene Mockingjay: hangmanstree

[@Banyo__]

There is a video where this whole bridal party re-enacted that scene from My Best Friend's wedding at their wedding complete with crab claws...it is so good. The original was one of my favorites, but every time I see it, I'm like, if people really broke out in song like that, why aren't the people in the background taking notice in the beginning? Like is that so normal at this restaurant for visitors to just sing, that no one even looks up?

[@BeeWhistler]

They always seem to have honorable mentions that are better than the ones in the list. I thought the one in Young Frankenstein should have been in the list at least, if not #1. Bohemian Rhapsody was a huge deal, though, so I do think it's placed right.

[@brickmclargehuge2429]

In "Beer for my Horses", Rodney Carrington sing "Shout" in a rest stop bathroom with strangers. One of my favorite, partly for the song/singing, and partly for the facial expressions Rodney makes.

So... the introduction mentions that lip synced songs aren't included in the list, yet Michael J Fox is included - who is clearly lip syncing to something that isn't his voice.

so you're saying mcfly was lip singing a song that didn't exist yet?
