AceShowbiz - Bill Murray displays his vocal skill and fails miserably at his attempt to do a karaoke of Bob Dylan's tune. In a new clip of "St. Vincent", the actor listens to Dylan's "Shelter From the Storm" from a Walkman while holding cigarette in between his lips.
The sneak peek is played at the film's end credits. Murray, as the war veteran, is slightly behind the tempo, missing the lyrics and occasionally going off-key. All the while, he is trying to hose down a plant which he uses to hide his cigs.
"I couldn't believe that scene when I first saw it in the film. There's just something about it. I could watch Bill do that for 17 hours," his co-star Melissa McCarthy told LA Times.
Murray is not known for his skill in singing but he certainly has a penchant for it. The 64-year-old actor did a duet with Eric Clapton and Clint Eastwood, and is famous for crashing karaoke parties. Words are he attended Dylan's 1997 concert at the stadium of the minor-league St. Paul Saints and surprised the singer.
In "St. Vincent", Murray plays a cash-stricken retired vet who takes his neighbor's 12-year-old son under his wing. The pic will be released on limited theaters on October 10 and nationwide on October 24.
