Any song from Ray
Got My Mojo Workin', Meet the Fockers
Accidentally in Love, Shrek 2

[Luke]

"Got My Mojo Workin'" is not a new song, as far as I know. Pretty sure it was in the first <i>Meet the Parents</i>, and I don't think it was new then.

At this point, I'd like to see <i>The Incredibles</i> win Best Picture, or at least a nomination. But there's no way that will happen, so if it's able to outShrek <i>Shrek 2</i> for Best Animated Film, I'll be glad.

Bill Murray needs another nomination, but I'm not sure if <i>The Life Aquatic</i> will be too quirky for the Academy.
