AN-A WUN AN-A TWO AN-A . . .

IMO, if ever there was a quote that sums up the feel of any John Hughes movie, it is this;

“There are good days and there are bad days, and this is one of them.” – Lawrence Welk

John Hughes must have been a fan of "The Lawrence Welk Show" and his bubble machine......
in fact, I'd lay money on it because we ALL watched it.

Lawrence Welk (March 11, 1903 – May 17, 1992) was an American musician, accordiondist, bandleader, and television impresario, who hosted The Lawrence Welk Show from 1955 to 1982.
His style came to be known to his large number of radio, television and live-performance fans (and critics) as "champagne music".
In 1996, Welk was ranked #43 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Welk
