Rex technically has three scenes - first, when Kip finds his ad on TV, which takes place as Napoleon is busy talking to Deb for the first time (long enough before they actually go to the dojo to count as a separate scene), and then much later on when Rex starts beating the crap out of Rico after a misunderstanding involving his wife.

I just hought of another good, catchy tune that is used in that same scene. Well actually, I did know that song was in there too, but I couldn\'t add it at the time since for some reason, I didn\'t bother to look into who it was by or anything like that until now.
