I need info about this song in Benny and Joon. Name, author, lyrics, anything. Here's a snippet from the script:
Sam is making grilled cheese sandwiches with an iron

Joon: some cultures are defined by their relationship to cheese

Benny: is that a fact?

Joon is in bed and Benny walks in

Joon: he can really cook cant he?

Benny: uh-uh yeah. All for the grilled cheese I might of used the wool setting.

Joon: that’s what I told him

Benny: really? What did he use?

Joon: rayon. Silk would have been too soggy. Cotton would

Benny: would of burned it

Joon: right. Fortunately he consulted me before giving it steam. I was four square against it. I wish he could be my new smeal.

Joon hums a tune and they both start singing the words. It flashbacks to when they were kids and their parents died in a car crash.

Benny: good night

Joon: good night

The next morning and Sam is writing a letter to him mum
Any idea what song that is? Lryics, Composer, etc etc etc?

    The only song I know from that movie is I'm Gonna Be (the 1,000 mile song) by the Proclaimers

    "And I would walk 500 miles..."

    Any help?

    Alternatively, I'd look up the movie soundtrack or the actual movie credits where they list all the songs used in the movie, then listen to them til you find the right one.

    Hope that helps

    Here's a link to the soundtrack with samples of each of the songs. I don't recall what was playing in that scene, but hopefully if you play the sample of each piece you'll be able to figure it out.

    If this is correct I will be so impressed that I will overlook the fact that this is a six-year-old thread.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    I must say it's a little disconcerting to see a thread that I posted in 6 years ago on the front page. I don't even remember making that post. I just clicked on H&A, said "Hey, Benny and Joon thread, lets checks that out!" and saw my own name in the thread. Thank goodness Ceres pointed out this was a necro, or I would have worried that I'd been sleep posting again (or worse).
