| "A Hard Day's Night" | Phil Collins was around 14 years old when he starred in this film. He was known locally as a child theater actor and his role in the play "Oliver" was greatly acclaimed. In this Beatles thriller Phil is just a face in a crowd, another guy in the audience watching the Beatles play live in an auditorium. - Beatle Baby |
| "Frauds" | Phil stars in this dark comedy set in Australia as Roland, a fraudulent insurance agent hired by a couple who want to file a false claim. Roland is an absolute pest, he's greedy, always hounding his clients and loves to do acts of mischief just for the hell of it. He loves to pull pranks on others and laugh, IOW he likes to "fuck shit up". - Sussudio is My Girlfriend |
| "Miami Vice, Buster" | Along with having alot of his songs played throughout the series, he played in an episode called "Phil the Shill". Was also in a movie about a bank robber in the star role. - Brad Johnson |
| "Buster" | I was surprised more by his cursing than his acting. - britrock |

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"Susudio"
The Insincere Lyrics: Now I am too young
My Life Has Just Begun Why They're Insincere: When this song Was first released, Phil Collins was already losing his hair and becoming middle aged. So unless you count living in Florida in a retirement home as being old enough, and retiring as your life is beginning, I think you are old enough for whatever this song is about.

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Sussudio"
Phil explains that he was making a demo tape and had just programmed his drum machine and was adding vocals to be edited later. The name "Sussudio" came right out of his head. There was no time to edit it with a new name so Sussudio it was. Because this great song topped the charts in the U.S., Canada and beyond there are now some adult women today with that name (honest!).

Hidden Messages:
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
Listen to this remake of a Beatles song. When it ends, turn the volume up high. For about 30 seconds, an echo-y version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" plays, but you need the volume and it's on the same track. He was warming up his voice when he sung this, and put it in as a joke.
