'Ultimate,' 'A Little Bit Alexis' and 13 Other Fake Songs We Still Can't Get Out of Our Heads
These tunes have surpassed only existing within the worlds of their shows and movies and gone on to become cultural phenomenons all on their own No matter how many years pass, these songs have made their mark on our collective consciousness, seemingly for good. And no, it doesn't matter that they are not "real" songs and only existed within the confines of their respective television show or movie. In fact, that only adds to the magic. From Annie Murphy's showstopping performance of "A Little Bit Alexis" on Schitt's Creek to Lindsay Lohan rocking out to "Ultimate" in Freaky Friday, read on to see our top 15 favorite "fake" songs that we can't stop singing to this day. "Ultimate" - Freaky Friday No one was cooler than Lindsay Lohan in 2003 and performing "Ultimate" at the end of Freaky Friday with her her fictional band Pink Slip only helped solidify her status as queen of the early-aughts. While we're not sure what's on their set list these days, Pink Slip's return in the upcoming Freakier Friday movie is sure to provide at least one more anthem. "A Little Bit Alexis" - Schitt's Creek Throughout its six season run, Schitt's Creek provided countless laughs as audiences watched the outrageously hilarious family dynamics play out between David, Alexis, Moira and Johnny Rose. One of the most memorable moments, though, came during season 5 when Alexis, played by Annie Murphy, auditioned for the town's production of Cabaret with a live rendition of "A Little Bit Alexis," which was "the title track off of my critically reviewed, limited reality series." What followed is an incredible 30 seconds replete with choreography we've all tried to replicate. Though the show has been off the air for more than five years, this song will surely live on for decades to come. (And don't worry — there's a full 3:26 version of the song, written by Murphy herself, if you need a longer dance break.) "Smelly Cat" — Friends Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe Buffay belted out several perfectly quirky tunes throughout Friends' 10 seasons. Whether it was inside cozy Central Perk or outside on the streets of New York City, Phoebe had a song for everything. While many were eternally catchy, none have stood the test of time quite like "Smelly Cat." "The Bone Dance" - Hannah Montana How many of us used Miley Stewart's "The Bone Dance" ourselves when trying to remember the names of all the bones? "When I milk the cow, on Uncle Earl's farm, I use the Ulna bone, that is in my arm." With lyrics like that, along with her matching choreography, it was an instant classic and very useful! "Let's Go to the Mall" - How I Met Your Mother When we meet Robin on How I Met Your Mother, it's been years since her career as Canadian pop star Robin Sparkles. But it was only a matter of time before her friends found out her dark secret and introduced us to the instant classic "Let's Go to the Mall." Go ahead and rock your body 'til Canada Day. "On a Roll" - Black Mirror Miley Cyrus was back belting out made-for-TV earworm when she played Ashley O on Black Mirror with the song "On a Roll." Rocking a purple bob wig, the accompanying music video is instantly iconic "Boyz 'N Motion" - That's So Raven This song from the fictional band of the same name made me so very sad that they only existed within the realm of the That's So Raven universe. It's been 20 years since the season 3 episode premiered and I can still see those three boys dancing together to the catchy tune like it aired yesterday. "Feeling the Love" - That's So Raven (Again!) Another That's So Raven hit came from Raven's little brother and his band (which featured David Henrie before he broke out on Wizards of Waverly Place). The song might have been short but its impact is two decades strong. "Crazy, Funky, Junky Hat" - Wizards of Waverly Place As best friends do, Alex and Harper on Wizards of Waverly Place had their fair share of inside jokes and silly moments, one of which is the famous "Crazy, Funky, Junky Hat" song — shout out Keira Knightly! Years later Selena Gomez and Jennifer Stone took a trip back in time and revisited the song in a TikTok video where the two did their old choreography, though this time, with a drink in hand. "In the Moonlight (Do Me)' - Modern Family Though Haley might have been moved by her boyfriend Dylan's love song and its accompanying video, her family had a bit of a different reaction — perhaps it was due to his lyrics "I just want to do you/ Do you want to do me/ Underneath the moonlight?" The song might have gotten Haley grounded but Dylan and his eyeliner have been stuck in our heads ever since. "The Legend of the Rent" - School of Rock One of Jack Black's best roles came more than 20 years ago in 2003's School of Rock, in which the comedian plays a guitarist who pretends to be a substitute teacher for reasons. Rather than teach math or english, Dewey Finn opts to teach his students music and crucial life lessons, and during one of his lessons performs an impromptu performance of "Legend of the Rent." inspired by his recent eviction from his apartment and band. "Supernova Girl" - Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century The year is 1999 and Raven-Symoné and Kirsten Storms are bopping along as they're serenaded by Proto Zoa singing "Supernova Girl." There's spiky bleach blonde hair, a silver leather jacket and they're all in outer space. It's a pretty unforgettable moment in Disney Channel Original Movie history. "Squirrels in My Pants" - 'Phineas and Ferb' "There's 104 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it....," you know the rest. In addition to animated series' theme song, Phineas and Ferb was the source of many fun tunes. They include "S.I.M.P. Squirrels in my Pants" about, you guessed it, the experience of having squirrels crawling around your pants. "Pop Goes My Heart" - Music and Lyrics Movie openings don't get much better than 2007's Music and Lyrics which sees Hugh Grant decked out in full '80s glory singing the song "Pop Goes My Heart." There's long hair, dark shades and killer dance moves. "Shiny Teeth" - Fairly Odd Parents With his pearly whites secured back in his mouth, Chip Skylark is ready to film a music video for the aptly titled "Shiny Teeth" about his teeth that "twinkle just like the stars in the space." It would be hard to talk about Fairly Odd Parents and not also talk about another iconic Chip Skylark song from the series "Icky Vicky" about Timmy's babysitter, which gets an honorable mention on this list.

‘Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time' focuses on disaster victims, who reflect 20 years later
It's been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina reshaped the City of New Orleans. Spike Lee examined the disaster with two big HBO documentaries, the 2006 'When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts,' just a year after the event, and a 2010 sequel, 'If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise,' and is involved with a new work for Netflix, 'Katrina: Come Hell and High Water,' arriving in late August. Other nonfiction films have been made on the subject over the years, including 'Trouble the Water,' winner of the grand jury prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Nova's 'Hurricane Katrina: The Storm That Drowned a City,' 'Hurricane Katrina: Through the Eyes of the Children,' and 'Dark Water Rising: Survival Stories of Hurricane Katrina Animal Rescues,' while the storm also framed the excellent 2022 hospital-set docudrama 'Five Days at Memorial.' As a personified disaster with a human name and a week-long arc, it remains famous, or infamous, and indelible. In the gripping five-part 'Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time,' premiering over two subsequent nights beginning Sunday at 8 p.m. on National Geographic (all episodes stream on Hulu and Disney+ Monday), director Traci A. Curry ('Attica') necessarily repeats many of Lee's incidents and themes. But she finds her own way through mountains of material in the series that is at once highly compelling and difficult to watch — though I suggest you do. Though there are many paths to take through the story, they lead to the same conclusions. Curry speaks with survivors, activists, scientists, officials and journalists, some of whom also appear in archival footage, but her eye is mainly on the victims, the people who lost their homes, people who lost their people, those unable to evacuate, for lack of money or transportation or the need to care for family members. If the storm itself was an assault on the city, most everything else — the broken levees, the flooded streets, the slow government response, the misinformation, the exaggerations and the mischaracterizations taken as fact — constituted an attack on the poor, which in New Orleans meant mostly Black people. ('The way they depicted Black folks,' says one survivor regarding sensational media coverage of the aftermath, when troops with automatic weapons patrolled the streets as if in a war zone, 'it's like they didn't see us as regular people, law abiding, churchgoing, hard working people.') Effective both as an informational piece and a real-life drama, 'Race Against Time' puts you deep into the story, unfolding as the week did. First, the calm before the storm ('One of the most peaceful scariest things,that a person can experience,' says one 8th Ward resident), as Katrina gained power over the Gulf of Mexico. Then the storm, which ripped off part of the Superdome roof, where citizens had been instructed to shelter, and plunged the city into darkness; but when that passed, it looked briefly like the apocalypse missed them. Then the levees, never well designed, were breached in multiple locations and 80% of the city, which sits in a bowl between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, found itself under water. Homes drown: 'You're looking at your life, the life that your parents provided for you, your belongings being ruined, your mother's furniture that she prided is being thrown against a wall.' Residents are driven onto roofs, hoping for rescue, while dead bodies float in the water. This is also in many ways the most heartening part of the series, as neighbors help neighbors and firefighters and police set about rescuing as many as possible, going house to house in boats running on gasoline siphoned from cars and trucks. A coast guardsman tears up at the memory of carrying a baby in her bare arms as they were winched into a helicopter. And then we descend into a catalog of institutional failures — of governance, of communication, of commitment, of nerve, of common sense, of service, of the media, which, camped in the unflooded French Quarter or watching from afar, repeated rumors as fact, helping create a climate of fear. (Bill O'Reilly, then still sitting pretty at Fox News, suggests looters should be shot dead.) More people escaping the flood arrive at the Superdome, where the bathrooms and the air conditioning don't work, there's no food or water and people suffer in the August heat, waiting for days to be evacuated. Instead, the National Guard comes to town along with federal troops, which residents of this city know is not necessarily a good thing. Many speakers here make a deep impression — community organizer Malik Rahim, sitting on his porch, speaking straight to the camera, with his long white hair and beard, is almost a guiding spirit — but the star of this show is the eminently sensible Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honoré(now retired), a Louisiana Creole, who was finally brought in to coordinate operations between FEMA and the military. (We see him walking through the streets, ordering soldiers to 'put your guns on your back, don't be pointing guns at nobody.') Honoré, who is free with his opinions here, had respect for the victims — 'When you're poor in America, you're not free, and when you're poor you learn to have patience' — but none for foolish officialdom, the main fool being FEMA director Michael Brown, mismanaging from Baton Rouge, who would resign soon after the hurricane. When buses finally did arrive, passengers were driven away, and some later flown off, with no announcement of where they were headed; family members might be scattered around the country. Many would never return to New Orleans, and some who did, no longer recognized the place they left, not only because of the damage, but because of the new development. The arrival of this and the upcoming Lee documentary is dictated by the calendar, but the timing is also fortuitous, given where we are now. Floods and fires, storms and cyclones are growing more frequent and intense, even as Washington strips money from the very agencies designed to predict and mitigate them or aid in recovery. Last week, Ken Pagurek, the head of FEMA's urban search and rescue unit resigned, reportedly over the agency's Trump-hobbled response to the Texas flood, following the departure of Jeremy Greenberg, who led FEMA's disaster command center. Trump, for his part, wants to do away with the agency completely. And yet Curry manages to end her series on an optimistic note. Residents of the Lower 9th Ward have returned dying wetlands to life, creating a community park that will help control the next storm surge. Black Masking Indians — a.k.a. Mardi Gras Indians — are still sewing their fanciful, feathered costumes and parading in the street.

This Pitch-Perfect '80s Horror Throwback Hits All the Right Notes and It's Free on Tubi
Tons of movies try to pull off the vibe of classic 1980s horror movies but it's not as easy as dropping in some neon spandex and sprawling synthesizers. One film that does a fantastic job of capturing the "Me Decade" horror aesthetic is The House of the Devil (2009) and you can stream it free right now on Tubi. If you're in the mood for slow-burn suspense with serious '80s horror vibes, The House of the Devil should be at the top of your list. Directed by Ti West, this retro thriller ditches cheap scares in favor of creeping dread and pitch-perfect atmosphere. It's a masterclass in tension, channeling cult classics like Halloween and When a Stranger Calls with a modern edge. The story centers on Samantha, a broke college student who accepts a mysterious babysitting gig in an eerie old mansion. What starts as a quiet night quickly unravels into something much darker. With its grainy visuals, vintage soundtrack and escalating unease, this one sticks with you-and it's streaming for free on Tubi. This horror flick is gory, grim and shockingly true to its vintage setting. MPI Movie Group/Screenshot by CNET From the opening credits, The House of the Devil sets the tone with a ridiculously accurate and detailed retro aesthetic. It doesn't just take place in the 1980s -- it feels like it was made then. The grainy film texture, era-appropriate costumes and hair are absolutely perfect. It's set to a curated soundtrack with tracks including The Fixx's One Thing Leads To Another and The Greg Kihn Band's The Break Up Song. The movie doesn't just feel like it's dressing up in '80s tropes but like it was birthed from that time. The movie was shot on 16mm film, creating its specialized throwback look. It lifts cinematography straight from '80s filmmakers along with a slew of other techniques to evoke classics of the era. Everything, down to the credits, is period accurate and I appreciated all the attention given to making sure everything matches, down to the cups at the pizza restaurant seen early in the movie. The Ulmans have a secret reason why they hired Sam to watch "Mother." MPI Movie Group/Screenshot by CNET Sam realizes something is amiss when she stumbles upon proof that the family who hired her for the babysitting job isn't the same one in the photos. Realizing she might have been deceived, she attempts a 911 call but she's already eaten a piece of tainted pizza. She passes out just as she gets a glimpse of what exactly it is she's been hired to "babysit." The movie's path is fraught with grisly moments (just ask Sam's best friend Megan, played by Barbie director Greta Gerwig), with believably gruesome practical effects that unsettle and chill to the bone. The hideous "Mother," who Sam discovers is connected to her original job, is an example of '80s filmmaking that would have made audiences sick to their stomachs. Sam's friend Megan is not pleased at all by the situation at the Ulmans' house. MPI Movie Group/Screenshot by CNET Without spoiling the climax, The House of the Devil maintains a gnawing, upsetting sense of dread throughout its runtime. It isn't afraid to use themes of isolation, the unknown and betrayal to keep you on the edge of your seat, which I appreciated on my first viewing and only grew to love more with each rewatch. As horrific as the story is, I firmly believe that this movie wouldn't have been possible without its commitment to staying true to the era that inspired it. If you're looking for a horror movie that doesn't rely on cheap jump scares or the overwrought parable "sex is bad" with a group of teens being picked off one by one, The House of the Devil is one of the best flicks you could put on your Halloween viewing list. It brings the golden years of '80s horror to life in believable, decadent ways that'll have you squirming in your seat. I'm still unpacking the gagworthy climax and I bet you will be too.
