At the end of the episode where Burns meets his long lost son, there is a party with free beer and music. What I want to know is: What is the song played at the end of that episode? It goes:

All night!(music)  
All night!(music)  
Oh, Every Night!(music)

Any way you want it,  
That’s the way you need it  
Any way you want it  
(music)

It’s been stuck in my head for a while and since that is all I know it is really annoying.(not the song, just the fact I don’t know it all)

That scene is, of course, a loving tribute to Rodney Dangerfield’s immortal fairway dancing in **Caddyshack**. The only good golf movie ever made.

_Tin Cup_ was pretty good. You’re probably just bitter over _Bagger Vance_, and I can’t say as I’d blame you.

**Whammo** , I love the rank out on me (seriously, I was cracking up), but I was hoping someone would come back with Rodney Dangerfield’s line in Caddyshack: “So what? so let’s dance” in the scene with the song mentioned in the OP. Either no one got it, or more likely no one really cared.

BTW, in case you are wondering, I can’t fall asleep and I’m just reading through some old threads which is why I’m only noticing this now
