One of the most shocking, yet somehow attractive, scenes in American Psycho is that of Bale delivering Patrick Bateman's monologue about 80s culture by talking about how much he knows about the song "Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News. His dance scene, during which he recites the message of the song before mercilessly murdering one of his office colleagues, makes for a charming, yet deeply disturbing, performance.
