Our friend Gullotta spawned this mad need to hear Ed Helms sing “Stu’s Song” from THE HANGOVER. Facebook statuses are the gateway drugs to unstoppable earwigs. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
The search begat a link to The Playlist which begat an interview link to Coming Soon. It’s there we learn how Stu’s Song was born.
CS: The song that Ed [Helms] played on piano, was that completely made-up on the spot?
Phillips: It was improvised as in it was never in any script, but it wasn’t improvised like “Action,” and then he made it up on the spot. He wrote it that morning though. I said, “Do you know what would be funny?” ’cause he kept playing the piano on set in between takes. He’s a really good piano player and he has a good voice oddly. I said, “You know what would be funny? We should just do a song.” He’s like, “Where would that go in the movie?” I said, “Why don’t we put it in the scene while we’re killing time after we drug the tiger?” He’s like, “Great,” and we just threw out ideas of what that song would be about and settled on “What Do Tigers Dream Of,” and then he just went off and wrote it. It was great.
Play the song(above or restricted if you’re nasty) while singing along(lyrics below the cut) and re-live the best HANGOVER of your lives.
