i thought the movie was cute... but that song has always just haunted me....
Maxwell did a version of the song;
then, what, a week or two ago Big Mike did a version of it on AI (boys hittin' those high notes AND boys singing this song when i always associate it with 'birthin'' gets to me!) and so, it was on my mind...

as for his 'not gettin' it... boys can be slow :)
