    Right now, the only ones I can think of are Buffalo Gals (which they harmonize together as they stroll) and Auld Lang Syne which the group sings at the end while all his friends donate $ and the bell rings to signify that Clarence got his wings.

    I'll see what else I can find on line.

    Edit: The first site has the soundtrack; the 2nd one has some interesting trivia (including the change of the last song from "Ode to Joy" to "Auld Lang Syne."
