What are your favorite unexpected musical moments in films?

I've always liked this rendition of "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) in the film [italic]This Must Be the Place[/italic]. Aside from Sean Penn being styled to look like Robert Smith, I don't remember anything else from the film. This scene was a nice surprise.

In the 80s comedy "True Stories" there's a Talking Heads musical number "Wild Wild Life" which is one of my favorite Talking Heads songs, and it is so silly and funny. I just love watching it.

It's not a musical, but Jacques Demy's "Lola" features this unexpected musical treat.

I remember crying when a patient in the mental asylum sings "Goin' Home" in "The Snake Pit", and her audience of fellow patients join in.
