In the car scene the girl in the backseat keeps singing,"That's not what I'm doing," and Driver, who is driving, appears to be guessing. He says, for instance, "You're playing Nintendo." Later Stiller's character sings "Not What I'm doing" as he's riding along. Is this a guessing game that I'm unfamiliar with, or lyrics from a song I've never heard? Thanks for clarification.

One of the bigger themes from this film, I felt, was "youth is wasted on the young", or even "if I knew then what I know now". I felt like the petty, pointless song they were singing in the car is a perfect example of that. The song is so without point that it almost looks like there has to be some kind of rich symbolism behind its nothingness, but that's just what Cornelia and Josh learn in the film: there is no mystique or genius behind the kids' carelessness. It's all empty gibberish meant to sound profound. Also, I think it was an original song. :)
