The song "1-2-3" was featured on the soundtrack for the film Mr. Holland's Opus.
"1-2-3" was one of the songs that appeared in John Lennon's jukebox. 

Motown Records sued the songwriters Len Barry and Dave White,
claiming that "1-2-3" was a reworked copy of holland-dozier-holland song "ask any girl".
The songwriters did admit  to taking the composition and the lawsuit
led to Holland-Dozier-Holland getting equal credit for writing "1-2-3" 
as noted on billboard top 10 official album.

recorded a new version of "1-2-3" in Nashville, Tennessee.
