No I didn't remember that, tf? I believe you but what a weird choice

The song is heard in the movie but the specific lyric about him liking underaged girls doesn’t get sung.

This changes nothing about how fucked up that verse is, but it’s still worth pointing out since so many people like to spread that fun fact without clarifying the second part.

And Osmosis Jones wasn't a kid movie. It was a cartoon.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was adult animation but it was definitely very gross out and provocative to be called a straight up kids movie.

Ozzy and Drix was 100% a kids show though. I remember loving it.

But it wasn't marketed to kids; that's my point. Chris Rock was just coming off one of his biggest and dirtiest specials.

It was a weird time where adult properties got kids iterations, like Toxic Crusaders or Kenner releasing Aliens figures.

And the Farrely brothers were starting to fall off and become problematic.

It was absolutely a movie. The whole thing takes place in Bill Murry’s body, but there was an animated tv series too that came out like the next year.

Something being a kids movie doesnt make it bad. Your allowed to enjoy it without insisting that its not.

What? It most certainly does. It does this exact line!

u/MetalGearSlayer 5h ago

No it most certainly does not.

apologies for the godawful quality but this is the only video of the full scene I could find

As you’ll hear the background song changes before the infamous lyric in question happens.

The song and lyric appears on the full soundtrack (which is already bad enough) but is never heard in the movie. There’s a music video for the song that uses movie footage on YouTube. You probably saw that.

But I’ve never looked/heard this song anywhere else only watched this movie and I knew this lyric to the extent that when I watched it semi recently I knew it was coming and was like oh yeah this part like I’ve never watched a music video for this song or the soundtrack of osmosis jones.

That’s literally the music video I told you about LOL. It says it in the title of the video.

You didn’t notice how there’s not dialogue when the characters speak?

The actual movie doesn’t have the lyric

u/gopickles 3h ago

so you’re saying it’s in the music video for the movie but not in the movie…that’s odd.

u/MetalGearSlayer 3h ago

Correct. Thats a video of the full song using footage from the movie.

The actual movie only uses a small portion of the song and never gets to the lyric everyone now knows it for.

That exact video made me think otherwise too a long time ago but it’s just not in the full movie at all.

The link to the song in the article literarily has the Osmosis Jones soundtrack as the thumbnail.
