Roger's friend turns out to be even better than the actor himself. The actress is not too sure about this, but the crowd insists that she does it, so the two perform the number. The actor is a drunk who cannot perform, but Roger's friend accepts the offer, having had a longtime crush on the actress, by stepping forward and says that he has memorized the entire routine after seeing one of the team's previous films multiple times. The producer asks the stars of the film, a duo that pays homage to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, to perform his favorite number, This Only Happens in the Movies. It was originally going to be sung early in the film, in a scene where Roger Rabbit and his friend arrive in Hollywood and are hired as waiters for a grand party to celebrate the town's biggest producer's new movie musical. " This Only Happens in the Movies" is a song written by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater and one of five songs intended for the unproduced prequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Who Discovered Roger Rabbit. In 2008, it found life when it was recorded by Broadway actress Kerry Butler for her debut album Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust, a collection of covers of her favorite Disney songs.
