Happy Feet - Original Soundtrack

Happy Feet was a cause for celebration in Australian film.  It was our first major computer generated motion picture and it had a bevy of Aussie and International stars to lend their voices.  Not only did they speak, but the movie had a LOT of singing in it.  In fact the story is about the song that each penguin has in it's heart.  For such an amazing film there had to be a damn good soundtrack to go with it and they didn't disappoint!
From movie stars like Hugh Jackman doing Elvis, the late and brilliantly talented Brittany Murphy (They were going to get someone else to sing her parts until she proved she could do both the speaking role and the singing. She is missed.  Gone way too soon.) singing Queen's Somebody To Love and Earth, Wind and Fire's Boogie Wonderland, to Robin Williams singing My Way and Nicole Kidman singing Prince's Kiss.  Coincidentally, Prince supplies one of the finest songs on the album, "The Song Of The Heart" which he won a Golden Globe for Best Song but got snubbed by the Academy when he didn't even get a nomination!  Other modern singers include K.D. Lang and Pink, plus some classic Beach Boys thrown in as well.  My favourite song is Gia Farrell's "Hit Me Up".  Jamal-Ski and the Brand New heavies gives us the fun 'Jump n' Move' and the album finishes off with a duet/mash up between Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders and a relatively unknown Jason Mraz singing 'The Joker/Everything I Own'.
If you loved the moive, and I know you did, then you need to have this album.  Buy it now!
