Director Harold Ramis and screenwriter Danny Rubin understood that cheerful, repetitive nature of that song would become increasingly irritating when Phil had to hear it every single morning.

It's directed by Harold Ramis, screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis.

Cinematography by John Bailey.

Featuring Bill Murray as Phil Collins.

He came up to me like my talk and started talking to me.

And I asked him.
