In Anger Management Jack Nicholson pulls out Adam Sandler's Carpenters "Singles" CD and says "I don't want you listening to any angry music. Adam then says, the Carpenters are angry? I mean.... Then Jack says, don't be naive Dave. Close to You, We've Only Just Begun, songs of madness and obsession!

I found this, under a post about 'Muriel's Wedding' music credits from Oz Movies:-
"We've Only Just Begun"
(Williams/Nichols), Published by Irving Music Inc./Woolnough Music. Used with permission of Rondor Music Australia Pty Ltd.
Perhaps that holds the answer. The producers may have been allowed to use Carpenters' recording in Australia-only showings of the movie through getting permission from the Australian publishers of the song. Maybe they didn't have permission outside Australia - but it seems that it would have been a hassle to have to re-edit the movie for the overseas market, just for one song. It does seem that's what happened, though.
I guess they would have had to get permission from Richard, as well - but perhaps he didn't allow them to use the song outside Australia, for some reason.
Apparently, they only got permission from Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson to use the ABBA songs the week before shooting began.
I was just going to say! Even though it isn't a movie, I really loved that surprise when I watched itAmerican Horror Story: Apocalypse, Episode 1
“Calling Occupants”

I remember that!it isn't a movie, but in friends season 1 episode 7 (the one with the blackout), they sing a little bit of "top of the world"!
Hi, Chris. I can't remember now where in the movie the song appeared. I don't think I've seen the film since it was in theatres in 1994. By the way, I think "We've Only Just Begun" played from the very beginning of the keyboard intro - I remember the anticipation of waiting for Karen's voice to come in, through the cinema speakers. I think it might have played up until the first "Sharing horizons that are new to us. Watching the signs along the way" section, but my memory of it really is getting hazy now.Thanks for the info. I wondered why 'Begun' was on the CD soundtrack for Muriel's Wedding, but wasn't included in the film's theatrical release here in the U.S., or on the DVD release. I wasn't even aware it was actually in the film originally. I had assumed it was included on the soundtrack CD as a themed extra of some sort. I'm interested to know where in the film the song appeared. Do you happen to remember the particular scene where it was? Thanks.
