I know it's old, but...

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the song playing when Roman (Dan Akroyd) and his family are driving in the car near the beginning of the movie.

Thanks for any help!

Does anybody know the name of song played at the end of the film? It's during the credits when everybody is dancing at the bar. It sounds like a song from 70's or 60's. The singer is naming off a bunch of dances in the song. For example, "Do the mash potatoe." Been looking for a while haven't been able to find it.

It's "Land of 1,000 Dances." It has been covered by many singers and groups. I think the Wilson Pickett version is used in the movie.
