Though Carrey and Diaz did perform their own dancing during the terrific "Hey! Pachuco!" dance sequence at the Coco Bongo, the movie's singing was a whole different story, for Diaz at least.

During her rendition of "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You?", Diaz was dubbed over by Susan Boyd, and as anyone who's seen the infamous karaoke scene from My Best Friend's Wedding can attest - where Diaz's character is forced into singing a horrific rendition of "I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself" - it was probably for the best.

Carrey's brief bursts of singing throughout the film, however, were all him, but it probably helped that he wasn't trying to be a sexy lounge singer, right?
