1. Strictly speaking
Hepburn only lip-synched to "Danced All Night"

http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0633262/bio

She did sing "Moon River" herself.

Seems unfair to count pop songs shoehorned into films in the same list as songs created FOR movies.

2. There was a couple I wanted to see...
'Jesus Christ, Superstar', and the Inquisition song from 'History of the World, Part I'...there were a few more that came to mind last night, but can't remember them now. Glad to see 'Springtime for Hitler' made the cut.

8. "Hakuna Matata" sucked!!!
There are at least 50 songs from the Disney canon that are better than the Lion King ditty, including "Be My Guest" and "Under the Sea."

12. I was surprised watching last night
to know that "Nobody Does it Better" is from a James Bond movie. I know it has the title of the movie right in the lyrics, but I never got that. :dunce: I've never been a big Bond fan.
