Old School (2003) - Total Eclipse of the Heart | Movie Moments

STREAM ON: Peacock (USA) Paramount Plus (CANADA)

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Three men relive their carefree college years by killing off as many brain cells as possible in this over-the-top comedy. Mitch (Luke Wilson) returns home from a less-than-pleasant business trip one evening to discover his wife, Heidi (Juliette Lewis), involved in a menage a trois with two blindfolded strangers. Feeling less than welcome at home after this, Mitch rents a house near the campus of a nearby college; two of Mitch's old college buddies, Beanie (Vince Vaughn) and Frank (Will Ferrell), stop by to cheer him up. They soon become regular guests at Mitch's place, despite the fact that Frank only recently wed Marissa (Perrey Reeves), while Beanie and his wife, Lara (Leah Remini), are busy with two kids. Beanie decides to throw a housewarming party for Mitch, and since Beanie sells audio equipment for a living, he's able to trick out the big bash with a massive PA system and an appearance by Snoop Dogg. Mitch soon finds he's the not-entirely-willing proprietor of the school's leading party spot, which raises the ire of Pritchard (Jeremy Piven), a dean at the college who was the target of Mitch, Frank, and Beanie's abuse when they were all students. Pritchard arranges to have Mitch's neighborhood zoned into a student housing district, but Beanie and Frank respond by forming a fraternity and making Mitch's home their headquarters. Mitch, however, is not enthusiastic about the idea, especially as he's trying to impress Nicole (Ellen Pompeo), a beautiful divorcee who is less than enchanted with Frank and Beanie's "party hearty" lifestyle. Old School director Todd Phillips knows more than a bit about the seamy side of fraternity life as director of the infamous unreleased documentary Frat House.

It's been 22 years and i still automatically still think of this every time i hear the song.

[WealthyIndustrialist]

I can’t hear this song without thinking about this anymore lol

[paolothorpe]

This scene is way better knowing the cast had no idea hed say that🤣

[EricRamirez-cz]

I literally chocking crying with laughter. This is one of the funniest scenes in movie history in my opinion. Flipping hilarious!!!!

[binthelight]

This was playing in the lobby at work today. I broke out laughing. Guy next to me wanted to know why so I pulled up this video and now we are both still laughing 6 hours later. 😅😂❤

[d]

This movie has so many scenes that could be considered the best in comedy.

[teejaysource]

This whole scene, has some how become my spirit animal.

[Cdrop]

I was singing this randomly at work today and here I am 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[wolftotem]

The last and biggest laugh I shared with my brother before he departed this world at the ripe old age of 37.
Some may see it as "immature" but I say fuck em.
This sort of humor gets the low-class like me through some hard times.
My brother did not have to die.
He was made old way before his time and sadly let the bottle hold him instead of vice versa.

[waalaman]

This is the official song of the three headed bromance consisting of Big Daddy, Daisy and me (Uncle Wookie). I heard the original at the grocery store the other day and had to drop them a line. 😂❤😂❤😂❤

[marktwain]

Not one comment about the two backup singers, , those dudes are killing it

[robertholmes]

I heard a Downy commercial they got me looking for the original and then I remembered this version and I think this is the version I would rather hear

[CanadianMike]

This song was my go to karaoke song in my late teens/early 20s, shortly after Old School was released. My version was definitely more wedding singer band than Bonnie Tyler. The performance was so elite, there were times I’d step off the stage and be greeted by some random person handing me a beer, “ that performance was outstanding”

The free beer would not have been possible without the Dan Band.

Finnerty inspired us. It’s amazing what a few random curse words had lived and sexually suggestive dance moves can do to bring the house down. I’d even have a friend who is a baseball umpire when I was a child join me on stage in the background to hit the high notes I couldn’t hit during the, “turn around brights eyes” part at the end of the song. The random guy standing in the back providing background vocals really adds to a performance. He could hit the high notes!

Karaoke PSA: it’s not so much about how your voice is. It’s about the performance. That involves various different things: stage presence is big, voice matters because if you pick a song where you can’t hit the high notes you’re gonna embarrass yourself. Simon Cowell wrote about that in his Idol book.

Have a friend from the high school Orchestra join you on stage to play the sax during Careless Whispher

During the time where there’s the vocal break in Total Eclipse of the Heart, my move was to announce, “let’s get ready to stretch”

I’d lay the 🎤 down, begin with high kicks, left, right, left, right, high knees…left, right, left, right (imagine being in the crowd drinking a beer and watching this wondering what’s going on)
Next exercise… Freestanding squats, fantastic form, I’d switched from facing the crowd to turn sideways so they could see the flexibility, like I said it’s a about performance,
The final move…I had just seen Usher/R Kelly tour, Let It Burn, Confessions, and anybody that has seen Usher live knows that former camper at, “Puffy’s Flava Camp” is as good as it gets. He influenced me to lay on the ground, like I was about to do the worm, and I hit them audience with pelvic thrusts like I was fucking a 👻, listen to the great Clarence Carter, to about my stroke game. #IBeStrokin

My former umpire of high school baseball games, an elite rock vocalist who could do multiple different genres, a Greek with too hit chest hair in the background glistening in the light on outro background vocals.

Shouting out the location of the bar in adlibs, “Original’s, let’s hear you!”
“
Turn around bright eyes, turn around bright eyes.”

Step off the stage boom they hit you with a free beer, complimenting the, “legendary performance”

Add some extra flair here and there and it makes your performance go to the next level. The next piece or flair I want to add😂 is the friends from high school bands, m

Any song with a solo in 🎸🥁🎺🎻🎷🪕🪇🪈🪘

it’s all about aura, if you gave the right swag, you want the audience to feel you, “oozing machismo”
Final line, close wounds Stamos shoutout, “have mercy!” The crowd bid eating out of your hand.

Get the people a performance they will remember for the rest of their lives. “Mercay!” (Stanton’s voice

[nitmare]

The Dan Band "Ruined" this song for me forever. Every time I hear it, I think about this scene including the lyrics. 🤣

[matthewleevanhoose]

Turn around. Every now and then I get a little bit terrified I see the fucking look in your eye.
Fucking every now and then I fall apart 🤣

[MattDelisle-hy]

That's a true bro. He doesn't just live life he feels it in color lmao

[Fightwithfists]

" Ya f#cling every now amd then i fall apart "

[MattDelisle-hy]

Thus song is life in general. Like did that shit just happen?:

[leroysan]

😂😅😂 I would totally hire this band!!! what is the name of them?

[TurdFergurson]

Wait? Is that Mrs. Ari? Melissa Gold????
