Prince Does Kids Music

No, really, "Song of the Heart," for a kids' movie -- Happy Feet.

It's a pleasant, funky mid-tempo number that will erase absolutely no memories of, say, Prince tearing up First Avenue in Purple Rain, but it's nice enough.

Sadly, it's the only Prince cut on the soundtrack. For what it's worth, here's the track listing for the soundtrack, to be released Oct. 17th.

1. Song of the Heart - Prince
2. Tell Me Something Good - Pink
3. The Joker / Everything I Own - Jason Mraz/Chrissie Hynde
4. I Wish - Fantasia/Patti LaBelle/Yolanda Adams
5. Boogie Wonderland - Brittany Murphy
6. Somebody To Love - Brittany Murphy
7. My Way - Robin Williams
8. Do It Again - The Wondermints
9. Jump And Move - The Brand New Heavies
10. Kiss - Nicole Kidman
11. Golden Slumbers - K.D. Lang
12. John Powell Score Suite

Two songs by Brittany Murphy?... Well, at least those Wondermints and K.D. Lang tracks could be good.

(Thanks to Stereogum for the tip.)

What! What! Prince! When I mentioned Westerberg recently, I was going to say as a joke that I hoped Prince would do some kids' music. Zooglobble, you've made my day with this news.

Dude, you've SO been schooled!

I don't even know who Brittany Murphy is. But I do love Boogie Wonderland.

Oddly, the other day, I accidently said it was 1986 or something strange like that. I swear, I think it's coming true.
