Larger Than Life is a 1996 American comedy film starring Bill Murray.
Plot
The film opens at a convention of recliner salesmen, where Jack Corcoran (Bill Murray) gives a motivational speech based on his book Get Over It. Jack shares the example of his father dying before he was born as a difficult circumstance that must be overcome to succeed. At Jack's engagement party, his agent (Jeremy Piven) updates him on all of his upcoming speaking engagements, and the pair hope that one of the engagements is high profile enough to lead to an infomercial.
As the party winds down, Jack reads telegrams from well wishers. One of the telegrams is from an attorney in Baltimore about the large estate of his recently deceased father Kirk. Jack's mother, Vera, shortly admits that she lied about his father's death. In truth, she left him because she felt he would be a bad example for Jack.
The attorney in Baltimore shows Jack a contract which mentions $35,000. Thinking this is the size of his father's estate, Jack signs the contract. In fact, it is the amount of property damage that the attorney has suffered because of Vera, Kirby's elephant. Vera and Kirby were a traveling circus act, and she is a highly trained elephant. Kirby left a note for Jack that instructed him to call "Blockhead" in Kansas City if there are any problems with Vera. Jack contacts Mo (Janeane Garofalo) at the San Diego Zoo, who happens to be transporting a herd of elephants to Sri Lanka in a few days. She helps Jack ascertain that Vera is a breeding age female, and she agrees to pay $30,000 for the elephant.
"Larger than Life" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys, released as the second single from their third studio album, Millennium (1999). It was written by band member Brian Littrell with Max Martin and Kristian Lundin, while Lundin also produced it. The song is a "thank you" for their fans' encouragement and devotion. Music critics praised its memorable melody, singalong lyrics and the band's vocal performance. It was also on Blender's list of the 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born.
Commercially, the song managed to be a top-ten hit in over 14 countries, whilst in the United States it only managed to peak at number 25. Its music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, holds a Guinness World Record for the 14th most expensive music video with estimated production costs of over $2,100,000 USD. It also broke the record for longest running #1 on MTV's Total Request Live. The song also serves as the opening track of the 2000 compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 4

Friends Feat. Eric B. & Rakim Have you ever been stabbed in the back By someone you thought was really cool Did they steal your lover or was it money Or was it lies they told Strangers just disguise as your friends Never again cause now you know Friends will let you down Friends won’t be around When you need them most Where are your friends Friends are hard to find Friends yours and mine I’m talking about your friends Smiles they hide behind Never know what’s on their mind Could be true deception Jealousy and envy reign Never want to see you get ahead They just hold you back Friends will let you down Friends won’t be around When you need them most Where are your friends Friends are hard to find Friends yours and mine I’m talking about your friends (Rakim Rap) You used to kiss me and tell me you miss me But now you try to glaze me, play me, and diss me I’m wide awake, ready to break so we’d argue What happened to the kisses and the “Ra, how are you?” Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed you Dreams was the only little things that I gave you Still ain’t thankful, you still complaining Used to be a quiet storm, but now it’s raining Harder than ever I’m thinking whether If we should be friends, let it end Is it better to forget or remember your body’s tender? The vibe that I send her makes her surrender The feelings of capture caught in a rapture No woman can match you, so when I’m looking at you Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me But you could find the end if you pretend to be Friends will let you down Friends won’t be around When you need them most Where are your friends Friends are hard to find Friends yours and mine I’m talking about your friends They say they’ll be with you Through all times of thick and thin A shoulder to rely on On the days that life gets rough There to wipe your tears away From that new heart break But when it happens You can’t find them Where are your friends (Eric B. Rap) Friends are hard to find, so be careful You can find them and to remind and they’ll pay you But some ain’t that bad, but one might back stab To get their fingertips on what one might have Bite the hand that feeds you; leave the people who need you For those who hold you back and mislead you So be a leader, don’t get lead on Or lead in a wrong direction, a dead end’s, next end You need a detour; life’s like a seesaw Up’s and down’s and I’ll bet there will be more Potholes and obstacles in the path, that’s righteous At times you need a hand to fight this way of life Straighten up, take the door and replace it And don’t you act “two-face” it Cause jealousy and envy and you still act friendly You could find the end, when you pretend to be
