Army Quote by Daniel Radcliffe
![“We sing a lot of the soundtrack in this film [Swiss Army Man] - me and Paul Dano - and on the last day of filming we had to just get into the back of our sound mixer's van and record a really crappy, rough version of the singing then. For some reason that was one of the most fun days.” quote by Daniel Radcliffe](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/585/daniel-radcliffe-919_army_we-sing-a-lot-of-the-soundtrack-in-this_251567.jpg)
