motpasm23: The very last scene in the movie "50 First Dates" is on the sailboat in Alaska. When Lucy comes up on deck & meets her daughter, the song is "Over the Rainbow." I would love to know who does that rendition of the song. I hear it all the time, and it's even on a commercial right now, but I don't know who the male vocalist is. He starts out humming. If anyone knows, please post it!!!
