In the first sequence, Colbert's character is getting his ass kicked by his karate studying wife for the song "It's the Little Things You Do Together". The other segment is the song "What Would We Do Without You"

I am a COMPANY fanatic. (and Colbert fan)

I LOVED this revival (I saw the filmed version in theatres) but the karate scene seemed very...unrealisitic...other than that it was AMAZING!
