Springtime For Hitler

This was part of an email I sent my sister Crashtestbunny several months ago:

Sea Denise went out and bought The Producers with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostell on DVD Because she had never seen it before. When she came home and told me she had bought the Producers because she had never seen it I immediately started singing "Springtime for Hitler" her response "Yeah, I haven't seen it."
The wedding happened things were busy and she still hadn't seen it after almost 2 months but everytime she would mention she had the Producers but hadn't watched it yet, whoever she told would start singing "Springtime for Hitler" to the point where it was a running gag with us.
So finally, Denise, my Dad, and I watched the Producers. After it was finished my Dad turned to me and said

Dad:I don't remember that movie but that musical number was in something else.
me: I'm pretty sure "Springtime for Hitler" was JUST in the Producers.
Dad: No, it was in that other movie, the one with Val Klimler.
me: Val Kilmer? He did Top Secret which was in Germany but I don't think it was in that.
Dad: No, that wasn't it. What was that movie?
me: The Producers, I'm pretty sure it was the Producers.
Dad: No,... Top something
me: Top Secret. He was also in Top Gun, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have "Springtime for Hitler" in "Top Gun"
Dad: It was a Mel Brooks movie and it was in Germany.
me: "To be or not to be"? Mel Brooks was dressed up like Hitler in that and he did the gag where all he wanted was peace, a piece of Poland etc...
Denise: They used that joke in The Producers.
me: No they didn't
Dad: Maybe it was "To be or not to be" I saw Springtime for Hitler in.
me: "Springtime for Hitler" wasn't in "To be or not to be"
Dad: I think it was, because I've seen it before but I don't think I've seen the producers.
me: who wants pie?
