I like Paul Carrack's "I Live by the Groove." But on first listen 11 years ago it instantly made me think of the kind of song that might've played over the opening credits of a Disney-distributed Touchstone Pictures or Hollywood Pictures comedy in the early '90s—with the credits entering and exiting from the left and right sides of the screen—as our hero drives around in his expensive convertible negotiating some sort of multimillion-dollar contract for a client before picking up flowers and Champagne for a hot date with his hot wife. Then his whole world falls apart, albeit hilariously: he arrives home to find the wife cheating on him with the big client in his own bed, of course.
Most likely starring Jim Belushi or Tim Allen and, playing an early prototype of the "manic pixie dream girl," Penelope Ann Miller as the love interest who gives the male lead a new outlook on life.
