I know that "Beverly Hills Ninja" with Chris Farley features "Low Rider" by War, but it wasn't a correct answer :(



I'm old enough that Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke immediately and iconically came to mind.

The song is played in its entirety during the opening credits instead of being used for like 15 seconds.

And it is an incorrect answer.


Yep, after it told me that was wrong I just assumed it's been in tens of movies and gave up..

There exist dbs of what songs are in what movies, it should probably accept any of them as alt answers IMO.

BTW, War is still touring. I saw them in concert a few weeks ago. And yes, they played "Low rider", last song, place went nuts. There were rumors that George Lopez owned the rights to the song, as part of his TV show, so the band couldn't perform it anymore.


Yeah same here!


The list of films that use that song are (at least according to IMDB):

I guessed "dazed and confused" and was told that was incorrect. From the hint it would appear as though they were looking for "gone in 60 seconds"


Thank you! I also guessed Dazed and Confused and was confused when it wasn't right. Thank you for at least showing me I'm not crazy.


I did not know IMDB offered this, thank you!


Yeah i guessed Up in Smoke which did use the tune so seems like it needs to accept any correct answer or provide something that narrows it to a specific movie. But I like the idea.


I guessed "Dazed and Confused," for that song, which was also wrong--sadly. I guess "School's Out" might have been a _better_ pick for Dazed though.


I tried to guess "A Gnome called Gnorm" but it wasn't even an available option :(
