"Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye. Barry later sings it near the end of the movie. It is a pretty good song, I must say.
Tim Robbins . I love Tim Robbins. If you haven't seen him in "The Shawshank Redemption", I highly recommend you do.

Vince and Justin. They call themselves "The Kinky Wizards".
Evil Dead 2. That scene is one of my favorites, it is so funny!

The Double Door. That is where he met Laura.
Penny Hardwick. He was upset that she wouldn't sleep with him.
Stevie Wonder . "Rob, top five sins perpetrated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s? Go. Sub-question, is it fair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins? Is it better to burn out than to fade away?"
The Reader. She does an interview with Rob before the release of "The Kinky Wizards" single. She also used to go to "The Double Door" when he was a DJ there.

Katrina and the Waves, "Walking On Sunshine". This is where Barry does that funny dance! Very funny! Barry is well played by Jack Black, who has some of the funniest lines in the movies, such as, "I never thought I'd say this, but can I go work now?"
