Ferris takes over a float at the Von Steuben Day Parade and performs his rendition of Wayne Newton’s “Danke Schoen” and The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout.” The crowd goes wild, and everyone has the best day ever. Sir Richard Branson recreated this scene nearly 20 years later during the grand opening of Chicago’s Virgin Hotel in 2015.

He talks his friend Cameron into taking his father’s prized Ferrari and with his girlfriend Sloane head into Chicago for the day.
