Teen movies are the BEST at diegetic musical numbers. "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" from 10 Things I Hate About You, "Jingle Bell Rock" from Mean Girls, and, of course, the Fatboy Slim/Usher synchronized dance number from "She's All That."

I already tried arguing the dance scene from She's All That - apparently Ben's blog doesn't "do" teen movies. Especially not ones starring Freddie Prinze Jr. What a snob.
