Ever left a movie theater with a tune in your head?

See also Western Animation for animated films.


If you want to view
Paradise
Simply look around and view it...

It's just a jump to the left, AND A STEP TO THE RI-I-IIIGHT!

Say you bought a heart or new corneas/But never managed to square away your debts/He won't bother to write or to phone you/He'll just RIP THE STILL BEATING HEART FROM YOUR CHEST!

    • "Maggots, VERMEN! You want the world for nothing! Mua ha ha ha ha I'll keep those vultures guessing!
    • "IIIIIII REEEEEMMMMMMEEEEEEEMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBEEEERRRRRRRR! Remember what you did to Marni!"
    • GRAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEESSS.
    • "AH would you like comment sir?" & " AT THE OPERA TONIGHT!" & "FROM MY WINDOW.

I CAN SEE THE WORLD FROM THERE. NAME THE STARS AND CONSTELLATIONS. COUNT THE CARS AND WATCH THE SEASONS"

Funky towel, towel's got the funk!
Funky towel, towel's got the funk!
Baby I got the loooove (baby I got the powaaaahhh!)
Come on girl and rock my world, and my funky towel!

Second verse same as the first!
