Other than Adam Scott cheating during the car singing scene, everyone else who sings or plays music in “Step Brothers” is actually doing it. This includes Horatio Sanz as the singer in a cover band of a very specific era of Billy Joel, as well as Ferrell singing and Reilly playing drums during their Catalina Wine Mixer performance. Music played a big part in the movie, not only during the film itself but also in the supplemental materials of its home video release.

The DVD commentary for “Step Brothers” features McKay, Ferrell, Reilly, and the movie’s composer, Jon Brion. But Brion isn’t there to talk — he’s there to play music while the other three do portions of the commentary via awkwardly ad-libbed songs. Given that the movie came out near the tail end of the era when people were still buying DVDs, and most fans have been content to watch the movie on streaming, not many people realize that this bizarre and hilarious commentary track even exists, let alone have actually heard it. 

For what it’s worth, there are ways to hear it online, but it’s not quite the same without having the movie playing behind it. There aren’t a lot of reasons to keep a DVD player accessible these days, but for diehard “Step Brothers” fans, this should definitely be one of them.
