 Two Paul McCartney (qv) instrumentals are used in the movie,  "Momma Miss America" (during the airport montage) and "Singalong  Junk" (during Jerry and Dorothys first kissing scene on the porch),  both from the 1970 album "McCartney." Cameron Crowe (qv) received  McCartneys permission without ever having met him, instead sending  a tape of the film to the latters office. The two would actually  meet for the first time five years later in L.A., and the result of  that meeting was McCartney composing the title song to Crowes movie  _Vanilla Sky (2001)_ (qv), which earned an Oscar nomination for Best  Original Song.
