.is when Jerry had just secured his contract with Cushman and is in the car driving away with the music playing. He desperatly wants to hear a song that will go with his mood, so he tries like three different radio stations and attempts to work with them by singing a little bit but realising it isnt right, then eventually finding the perfect song
.
How many of us have done that? Well I have. I think its a brilliant little scene.

It's a great little moment in a movie full of wonderful moments - big and small alike.
I don't think that many critics/viewers give this movie the credit it deserves - whether it's because it's easy to bash Cruise, the catch phrases (brilliant and ironic if you watch the movie) overshadowed itor for whatever the reasons may be.
This movie also uses music so well (including here) throughout. -

I like to think that scene is symbolic foreshadowing that all is not as perfect as Jerry believes. If everything WERE falling into place, then it would just be as divine (for lack of a better term) that the perfect song comes on. But since he has to search for it, force the moment if you will, it really isn't as perfect and natural. Just like his previous meeting with Cush.
Or maybe I'm just being an over-analytical English major.
