Hey, I've posted this on IMDb already, but I need some more answers. This is for a servey dealy thing, we have to do it for a project dealy thing at school and not many of my friends have seen the movie; poor, unelightened people. So yeah, can ya answer these, it'd be really helpful...

1. Which do you think is the best song in the movie?

2. Who do you prefer: Jake or Elwood?

3. Who do you like best out of the rest of the band (e.g. Mr Fabulous, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, etc)?

4. What's your favourite scene?

5. What's your favourite quote?

6. Which do you think is the best celebrity cameo? (James Brown, Ray Charles, Frank Oz, etc)

Cheers.

[Blues_Sister]

Great - anymore? I'll need about another 10 or so and then I'll get the results into percentages and post them here.

[Bluto_Ray]

Sheesh how to answer these.....here goes:

1. Either Minnie the Moocher or Sweet Home Chicago

2. Both.....I can't choose one over the other

3. Probably Blue Lou....

4. So many to choose from.....Probably the scene from where Elwood picks Jake up from prison and up to when Jake tells Elwood to fix the cigarette lighter or the whole bit at the Che Paul or however you say it

5. Once again some hard choices: Jake: "This place has got everything" Elwood: "We're on a mission from God" Bar Lady: "Oh we got both kinds, we got country and western"

6. Ray Charles Just for his line about depreciation alone

And there you go.....

[BluesWorldOrder]

1. "Minnie the Moocher". However, if you only include Blues Brothers songs, then "Everybody Needs Sombody."
2. Elwood. No, Jake. No, wait, Elwood. Eeeny-meeny-miney-moe....JAKE!
3. If you just include the movie, Blue Lou. If you count the Miami Mitch book, though, then Steve Cropper. Gotta love an Amish bluesman!
4. The restaurant. "How much for your daughters?"
5. Good god, that's a tough one, so I'll include a quote from both brothers. Jake: "Well, then.....looks like you're up $h!+ creek."
Elwood: "You want I should wipe da dead bugs off yer windshield?"
6. Ray Charles. "You know....depreciation, man...."

[BluesWorldOrder]

Hi, everybody. This is my girlfriend. Some people, just can't reply in the right spot.... We're both huge fans of the movie. We have both the Miami Mitch book and the Confidential book, so it's safe to say we're both hardcore fans. I look forward to talking to all of you guys about the Best Damn Action/Comedy/Musical Ever Made!

[BurtonMercer]

1. Everybody Needs Somebody to Love
2. Elwood
3. Donald "Duck" Dunne

[Blues_Sister]

Okay, sorry about this. I needed fifty votes for each question, and I've got that for the last three. Can you only answer these ones now:

1. Which do you think is the best song in the movie?

2. Who do you prefer: Jake or Elwood?

3. Who do you like best out of the rest of the band (e.g. Mr Fabulous, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, etc)?

Well, you're welcome to answer the other three but they won't be included in the results. Sorry.

[Griffin]

These 3 seem much easier than the other 3 to me

1. "Shake A Tail Feather" or "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love"
- latter, if BB should be on the main vocals

2. Who do you prefer: Jake or Elwood?
Elwood - ...skinnier (kiddin')

3. Who do you like best out of the rest of the band?
Blue Lou Marini - the only one I've actually seen and talked to
at the stage door by chance.
