This is a great unknown. It mainly appears on the original VHS version of the movie but showed up on some TV edits.

I went through and added all the times and scene descriptions to each of the songs. I significantly shortened the scenes I wrote so they would display on mobile. I matched the times to the version of the movie I saw while streaming on Max Go (Cinemax).
