When Sherry is shopping for her daughter’s birthday present, she’s listening to her Walkman. At one point she says, “Yeah, we do!” and then takes off the earphones. What song could she have been listening to? Faith No More’s “We Care A Lot,” Talking Heads’ I wanna make him stay up all night (not sure what the title is)? I have no clue as to how to go about finding the answer with such sketchy info, so amaze me, please!

Thanks!

Do you actually hear any of the song, or just her chime-in?

Now I’ve got the Talking Heads tune in my head 🙂

The Talking Heads song is called Stay Up Late, and there is a line after a chorus where David Byrne shouts “Yeah we do!”, so that’s my guess…

I’m pretty sure that the OP is referring to the movie [SherryBaby](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0423169/), starring Maggie Gyllenhaal.
