Brad Pitt’s new movie Moneyball (based on Michael Lewis’ nonfiction book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game) is getting Oscar Buzz and is Box Office Gold. The movie is artfully crafted and fascinates both baseball fans, and people who hate sports. At the heart it’s not really about sports, it’s about solving problems against formidable opposition, and being brave to fight to make a change in the world when you believe enough in the truth of something.
But the person who truly stole the movie (at least several parts of the movie) was 13-year-old Kerris Dorsey and her rendition of Lenka’s “The Show.” Kerris plays Casey Beane, daughter orf Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt). She nails the role with subtlety, poise, and intelligence, but she really takes everyone’s breath away with her earnest singing of “The Show.” In the movie it almost seems as if the young character (who’s based on a real person) wrote the song herself.
That’s not true, it’s the first song off of Australian singer, songwriter, and actress Lenka’s debut, self-titled album Lenka. It’s previously been used in U.S. advertising for Old Navy.

It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It’s a joke
Nobody knows
They’ve got a ticket to that show
Yeah
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go, can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh
Just enjoy the show oh oh oh
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh
Just enjoy the show
dum de dum

Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
