3. The Elton John Lyrics Were Meant to Be Incorrect

In one scene, Jane and Marsden's character, Kevin, get stranded at a bar during a rainstorm and the two get drunk and sing karaoke, choosing Elton John's song "Bennie and the Jets." They belt out the wrong lyrics—singing, for example, "She's got electric boobs," instead of, "She's got electric boots." And that's OK, because that was in the script.

"It's not just that ['Bennie and the Jets'] is a song that you don't know the words to, because there's a lot of songs that you don't know the words to," McKenna told EW. It's a song that you don''t know the words to that you sing with a tremendous amount of confidence."

"I still consistently screw the lyrics up on 'Bennie and the Jets,'" Heigl said.
