Tom Wilson sings about being a "Back to the Future" star

Want your questions answered by the guy who played Biff H. Tannen? Well, he's three steps ahead of you. Watch it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y)

Some people have told me that they don't get Youtube in their respective countries, so here are the lyrics:

When I'm flying in a plane or I'm on the street,
There's a lot of [unintelligible] people that I like to meet.
They shake my hand and never ask my name,
And they start asking questions that are always the same.
"Hey, what's Michael J. Fox like?"
"He's nice."
"What's Michael J. Fox like?"
"Nice guy."
"What's Michael J. Fox like?"
"He's an alien. Stop asking me the question!"
I went to the bar mitzvah of my nephew Josh
Now I'm not Jewish but I like to nosh
Put on my yamulke, started to pray
When the rabbi leaned over and I heard him say:
"Hey, was that real manure?"
"No, it wasn't."
"Was that real manure?"
"No!"
"Was that real manure?"
"It's a movie! Stop asking me the question!"
"Can we take your picture? Come on, look mean!"
"Would you call my friend a butthead on his answering machine?"
Hey, questions, questions, just fill my head
I went to my doctor; my doctor said,
"Hey, what does a key grip do?"
"Set up lights."
"What does the best boy do?"
"Help the key grip."
"What does a producer do?"
"I don't know! Stop asking me the question!"
"Do you all hang out together?"
"No, we don't."
"How's Crispin Glover?"
"Never talk to him."
"Back to the Future IV" not happenin'--stop asking me the question!
"Hey, who's the nicest famous guy you know?"
"Adam Sandler."
"Who is the biggest jerk?"
"Gary Busey."
"How much money do you make?"
"More than you do. So stop asking me the question!"

Salam,

Didn't BttF come out, like, 25 years ago? Was it a big hit, like, in the US?

If you can believe the statistics...


Back to the Future spent 11 weeks at number one [at the box office in the continent of North America]...The film went on to gross $210.61 million in North America and $170.5 million in foreign countries, accumulating a worldwide total of $381.11 million. Back to the Future had the fourth-highest opening weekend of 1985 and was the top grossing film of the year. Adjusted for inflation, the film is the 57th highest-grossing film in North America, as of October 2008.

Also, according to this source (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm), it remains to this day the 58th highest box office grossing film of all time worldwide if you adjust for inflation. (The top ten are, in order, Gone with the Wind, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, The Sound of Music, E.T., The Ten Commandments, Titanic, Jaws, Doctor Zhivago, The Exorcist, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.)
