Add rapping to the list of things you were surprised John C. Reilly could do, then cross it off, because of course the Oscar-nominated actor would be able to do that.
The “Ralph Breaks the Internet” actor appeared on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” Thursday, where host Sway Calloway put Reilly on the spot to lay down some bars. He did not disappoint.
“Dance young ladies till your knees start to weaken. Cause I got the style, the class to go with it. I’m numero uno – don’t you forget it,” Reilly rapped, putting all other musicians to shame.
Reilly rapped “Spoonin Rap” from 1979 by R&B artist Spoonie Gee. He mentioned before launching into his performance that he was a big fan of Sugarhill Gang growing up, who once sampled Spoonie Gee. Listen to the original here.
The “Step Brothers” actor also did some non-rapping things on the show, including talking about the sequel to “Wreck-It Ralph,” and you can listen to that here after you’ve watched Reilly’s rap another 10 times. And how dope is Reilly wearing his headphones upside down? Here’s another verse just for fun:
“I can dance all night just to keep in step, and if you watch, you might gain a rep. So do it do it dooo ittt.”
SiriusXM’s Sway Calloway hosts Sway in the Morning daily from 8:00 am to 12 p.m. ET on Eminem’s exclusive SiriusXM channel Shade 45. “Ralph Breaks the Internet” opens Nov. 21.

“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” “Aquaman” and “Mary Poppins Returns” are expected to dominate the box office this fall.

Oct. 5: "A Star Is Born" vs. "Venom"
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga facing off against a superhero entry is going to be an interesting battle -- while the former is an indie with A-list stars atop the bill, the latter is a highly-anticipated comic book character debut from a major studio.

Oct. 12: "First Man" vs. "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween"
Everyone is anticipating Damien Chazelle’s followup to “La La Land,” especially now that film that puts Ryan Gosling in space is generating early buzz. “Goosebumps,” of course, is already an established franchise based on the children’s book series of the same name by R.L. Stine. The first film, which was released in 2015, had a $23 million opening.

Nov. 2: "Bohemian Rhapsody" vs. "Nobody’s Fool" vs. "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms"
“Bohemian Rhapsody” is quickly shaping up to be many people’s most anticipated fall movie, as it chronicles the life of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury (played by Rami Malek). The film hit some road bumps when Sacha Baron Cohen, originally cast as Mercury, exited the project. Director Joss Whedon also departed the rocker biopic. Now, it's set to face off against Disney’s big-budget film “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” along with Tyler Perry’s “Nobody’s Fool.”

Nov. 9: "Overlord" vs. "The Girl in the Spider’s Web" vs. "The Grinch"
“The Girl in the Spider’s Web” is a long-awaited sequel to “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” which starred Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander. That one grossed $232 million at the global box office. Claire Foy is taking over seven years later. But fans love their “Grinch” (2000's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" earned $345.1 million worldwide) and J.J. Abrams has established a “Cloverfield” fandom as well (although he has said “Overlord” is not part of the “Cloverfield” franchise). "Cloverfield" and "10 Cloverfield Lane" earned $170.8 million and $110.2 million worldwide, respectively.

Nov. 22: "Creed II" vs. "Ralph Breaks the Internet"
"Creed" came out punching at the box office in 2015, earning $173 million worldwide. So, naturally, the sequel could prove a worthy adversary for "Ralph Breaks the Internet." Its predecessor, "Wreck-It Ralph" grossed $471 million globally, and was nominated for an Oscar.
MGM/Disney
Dec. 21: "Aquaman" vs. "Bumblebee" vs. "Alita: Battle Angel"
“Aquaman” has the backing of extremely devout DC fans, but “Bumblebee” will attract “Transformers” fans, who have brought the whole franchise up to $1.4 billion domestically. Both films are set to make some serious cash. “Alita: Battle Angel” is based on Yukito’s Kishiro’s manga “Battle Angel Alita,” is produced by James Cameron, and has a stellar cast.
