What songs does Ferris Bueller lip-sync to during the parade?
What do you do when you have a day off? Maybe run some errands? Try to grab lunch with that friend you haven’t seen in years? Or maybe just binge some HGTV?
Those are all perfectly good ways to spend a day off, even if you called in sick when you were actually feeling just fine. Sometimes we just need a day to play hooky.
Of course, if you’re a well-to-do teen living in Chicago, your day off might look a little more exciting. In fact, you might show up on a parade float lip-syncing to these songs as your friends bemoan how well you have it — as Ferris did in 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Correct Answer: Danke Schoen & Twist and Shout
The answer is: Danke Schoen & Twist and Shout. Bueller, played by ‘80s go-to Matthew Broderick, perfectly lip-syncs to Wayne Newton’s “Danke Shoen” and The Beatles’ rendition of “Twist and Shout” during a parade that apparently is happening in downtown Chicago in the middle of a school day for some reason.Broderick has said that the first song was loosely choreographed, but he had to tone it down due to an injury he sustained while filming other scenes for the movie. For “Twist and Shourt”, John Hughes wanted more of a frantic feel, so it was all improvised.Source
