This topic was in the "Off Topic" section, but the moderator tried to move it and accidently deleted it. I don't remember in what section this topic should be, so I decided to place it here.
Anyways - this time I have a question about the film "Dumb & Dumber". After a little fight between Lloyd and Harry, Harry walks away (he says "Home, I'm going home" or something like that...). When Harry is walking and hitch-hiking we can hear some slow song (music) in the background.
What is the name of the song (and who performs it)? Thanks again!
And once again - sorry for my terrible knowledge of English language.

It's not that song. The music I'm writing about is slower and it's not on the movie soundtrack.
But thanks anyway.

There's got to be Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm. I don't know if it's the same as Ballet Of Peter Pumpkin Head, but it's the only song played that scene.

Me too! The song was written by Andy Partridge of XTC, the Crash Test Dummies did a cover version of it. Here's the lyrics
"The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead"
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the vatican what gold's for
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Oh my!
Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke, it would raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
But he made too many enemies...
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said
Any kind of love is alright
But he made too many enemies...
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you
And an awful lot like me!
But he made too many enemies...
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Oh my oh my oh!
Doesn't it make you want to cry oh?
Here's the lyrics for "Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm"
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Here's a link to Amazon, they have the soundtrack listed with song samples so maybe you can listen to them and figure out which song it is.
