Cars 2 Soundtrack Now Available!

I had almost forgotten! Today is the day that the Cars 2 soundtrack went on sale! I was very excited when I finally remembered that it was June 14, so I ran straight to my iPod, went on iTunes, and purchased my very first song from Cars 2--"You Might Think". Now I can't stop listening to it!

The Cars 2 soundtrack is available for digital download, but also on the physical disc. You can purchase it on iTunes or order it on Amazon. Of course, if you have an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad you can just purchase the soundtrack right from the palm of your hand, or if you want the physical disc, just head on over to the store and buy it there! Beware, some of the tracks' titles contain spoilers, which is why I haven't read them all. So if you don't want to spoil the movie, don't read the tracks' names!

You can listen to the whole soundtrack in just 10 days, when the film premieres in North American theaters!!! So get ready for the motion picture event of the summer, the animated sequel to the 2006 hit, Cars 2!!

A Look at the Cars 2 Soundtrack!

Everyone knows that not only does Pixar make great movies, but they get great artists, musicians, and composers to create tons of awesome music that goes great with their films! I even once wrote a whole post about this subject, called The Marvelous Music of Pixar.

Cars 2 will feature contributions of music from various artists, and of course, the score is being composed by the very talented Michael Giacchino.

Here are all of the songs which will be featured in the film:

You Might Think - performed by Weezer; new version of The Cars' hit from the 1980's

Collision of Worlds - performed by Brad Paisley and Robbie Williams; duet

Mon Caeur Fait Vroum (My Heart Goes Vroom) - performed by Bénabar; co-written by Michael Giacchino

Nobody's Fool - performed by Brad Paisley; written by Paisley

Polyrythm - performed by Japanese girl group Perfume

My two personal favorites from this selection of songs are definitely "You Might Think" (which you can listen to here) and "Polyrythm", although I haven't even heard the full version of "Polyrythm"!

Also, Micheal Giacchino's score will be running through the entire film to make the Cars 2 even more exciting. Don't forget, Giacchino also scored various other Pixar films, including The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Up. I've heard little snippets of his work for Cars 2, and it sounds fabulous! From what I've heard, I'm really liking one of the tracks from the very beginning, "Turbo Transmission".

The Cars 2 soundtrack will be available for digital download and physical CD on June 14! The movie hits theaters soon after on June 24, in exactly 15 days!

New Cars 2 Videos: Clip and Video Game Trailer

As the streak of new videos from the upcoming spy film Cars 2 continues, we get another peek at one of the scenes that take place in Tokyo, and yet another trailer for the anticipated video game. In the clip, watch as Lightning McQueen greets fellow racers Jeff Gorvette and Lewis Hamilton, and meanwhile, Mater gets distracted by Zen Master. In the background, you can also hear Perfume's song for the Cars 2 soundtrack, "Polyrhythm". The new trailer for Cars 2: The Video Game gives what is probably the best look at the video game yet. Clearly, the video game will be just as action-packed as the movie, and it's great to see that all the new characters are featured as well.

Like I've said before; all these clips are making me even more and more desperate for the movie to come out.

Luckily, the wait to Cars 2 is quickly approaching the finish line, with only 20 days to go until its release in North American theaters, and only 17 days until the video game hits store shelves!

Toy Story 3 Soundtrack: You've got a Friend in Me (Para el Buzz Español)

If you've watched 'Toy Story 3', you might remember a catchy tune that is played at the end. Well, that is the same tune I've posted below for all the readers of my blog to enjoy. If you haven't noticed, it is a Spanish version of the 'Toy Story' saga theme song,'You've got a Friend in Me', recorded by the Gypsy Kings. As I mentioned before, it is played at the end (CAUTION: SPOILER ALERT!!!) when all the toys are now enjoying their new life at Bonnie's house and Jessie and Buzz do a pasodoble dance (SPOILER OVER). I really enjoy listening to this song in both English and Spanish. I hope you do too! UPDATE:Here are the lyrics (Yes, they are written in Spanish so you might not be able to understand them):

Hay un amigo en mi
Hay un amigo en mi
Cuando salgan a volar
Hay un amigo en mi
Si, un amigo en mi
Hay un amigo en mi

Hay un amigo en mi
Hay un amigo en mi
Cuando salgan a volar
Hay un amigo en mi
Si, un amigo en mi
Hay un amigo en mi

Hay muchos que pueden ser
Un poco más listos
Mas nunca habrá quien pueda ser
Un amigo fiel
Que tú lo sabes

Los años pasarán
Lo nuestro no morirá
Lo vas a ver, mejor tener
Un buen amigo en mí
Hay un amigo en mí
Un buen amigo en mí
Hay un amigo en mí
