The Babysittin' Blues

Adventures in Babysitting is on TV right now, and I have decided that one of the finest scenes in cinematic history may be the scene when Elisabeth Shue, the kids and Albert Collins sing "The Babysittin' Blues".

And in no particular order:
2. The Aretha Franklin scene (or any other scene) in the Blues Brothers

3. The huge jam session at the close of the otherwise terrible Blues Brothers 2

4. The choral competition in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit with Lauren Hill (and Jennifer Love Hewitt)

If you're in a bad mood, I defy to to sit there smileless and watch these musical numbers.

"Nobody gets outta here without singin' the blues."
