Motor Mouth

So, I think the VH1 show Motormouth has been canceled (although there's archived footage on their web site), but I sort of enjoyed it while it lasted, because people are such idiots in the privacy of their cars. Myself included.

On the drive up to the bachelorette party on Saturday, I was rocking out to some great songs on the radio -- for some reason, "Love is a Battlefield" was in heavy rotation this whole weekend -- and having a grand old time, all by myself. I super got into Brick House, despite not knowing many of the words well enough to sing along accurately. But I sang my heart out, and bopped, and gestured, and I decided that, were there ever a movie made about me, I would want the requisite singing-in-the-car scene (see, for example, "Free Fallin'" in Jerry Maguire; "Tempted" in Reality Bites) to feature "Brick House." And the actress playing me would have to study hours of tape to get just the right amount of dorkiness to represent me accurately.

If the movie song were a duet, though (with the Smelmooo as my other half), I'd want it to be something from the Avenue Q soundtrack, although I can't choose among "It Sucks to be Me," "If you Were Gay...," and "The Internet is for Porn," all of which the Smelmooo and I sing quite loudly and enthusiastically, divvying up the characters (I'm usually Kate Monster, Rod, Christmas Eve, and Gary Coleman, and the Smelmooo is Brian, Nicky, Princeton and Trekky).

What would your movie singing-in-the-car song be?
