File under WTF?!

Posted on December 18, 2003 by Tankboy

Well now this came outta nowhere:

Lou Rawls, Perry Farrell and Deborah Harry have joined hands for “A World of Happiness,” a Disney album where actors and celebrities sing about such lessons as being polite, learning from others and friendship.

Similar to the 1972 Marlo Thomas & Friends release “Free To Be You & Me,” the Walt Disney Records compilation also features such musicians as Lisa Loeb, and Issac Hayes. A bit more out of their context, actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek, as well as basketball great Magic Johnson, also deliver songs and readings.

(Get the full story here.)

Is Perry Farrell the new Rosy Grier? Probably not but Lisa Loeb would play a mean Marlo Thomas, don’tcha think?

About Tankboy

Tankboy resides in the body of Jim Kopeny and lives in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago with his girlfriend, Pickle the Kitten, Sasha the Cat, and a beagle named Betty who may actually be slightly more famous than most of the musicians slogging through the local scene. He's written about music for much longer than most bands you hear on the radio have even existed. He also swears that it wasn't him who did that and has learned that "deny everything" is a basic tenet of existence.
