Figure out the movie, then figure out the song?

How can I figure out what song was in the obscure movie I watched last night?
Apparently I was listening to the wrong music in the 70s.
I watched part of a 2008 movie last night in which a tired middle aged guy, I believe in Hollywood, recalls his adolescence in England where he is being seduced by his mother's friend while pursuing a girl his own age. He and the girl have a date and lipsync a 70s song that I had never heard before. I watched the (very long) credits, but then the song name was very tiny and fuzzy on my TV and I couldn't read it. Now I can't find the movie title.
Was anybody else watching that movie? What was it called? Anybody know the song?

Best answer: Flashbacks of a Fool. That Wikipedia link mentions the song If There Is Something by Roxy Music, perhaps that's the scene you're thinking of?
