Another song question... :)


Could someone please tell me the name...and who sings the song...that they're playing as everyone is going to the doggie graduation near the end of the movie...

It's saying something about "I'm a walking disaster".

I tried googling...but the lyrics that popped up...by Powerman5000 and Sum 41...didn't seem "right".

Thanx :)

If you still care, three years later, it's "Average Joe" by Ron Sexsmith, an excellent singer-songwriter who doesn't get nearly the attention he deserves. Great song!

What a coincidence...I just happened to look in here today...and I find I have an answer! And from just a couple days ago...CooL!

Thanx SO much for the info... I'm listening on youtube now... :)

You're very welcome. I recognized his voice immediately in this film and was glad they used his music. Happy listening!

After checking out his other stuff... I do like his music.
I rarely ever watch Jimmy Kimmel...but I just happened to last night...and Ron Sexsmith was the musical guest... :)

Thanks for the heads-up about Ron Sexsmith on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I would have tuned in had I known about it, but I just watched a clip of the performance, and the new stuff sounds great.

I first learned about Ron when he did a song on a Harry Nilsson tribute album ("Good Old Desk," one of my favorite Nilsson tunes). Ron's very much in the Nilsson vein – acoustic, folky pop that's slightly baroque and quirky. He doesn't have the following he deserves, but I'm glad his music gets some exposure in films like this.
