It Couldn't Happen Here

Is it just me or can you faintly hear Neil's voice as he mimes Always On My Mind in this movie?

Not just that, I've heard it too. It's on the movie but not the "Always on my mind" video.

Darn, you ruined the illusion!
I thought he was miming now you're telling me he was actually singing?

Hehe!

I just find it really, really odd.

Neil must of known the audio was being recorded for the elderly guy in the back, yet the production crew allowed him to murmur the song (perhaps "sing" is too strong a word).

It spoils the scene a bit.

It's the whole point of the scene. Neil sings along to the track on the radio.

From memory, he mimes at the beginning and you hear his voice more and more towards the end of the song.
