Listen To Clips from Mark Mothersbaugh’s THE LEGO MOVIE Soundtrack; Includes The Snappy “Everything Is Awesome!”

No matter your age, get ready for one crazy, fun, exciting ride – THE LEGO MOVIE is coming to a theater near you this Friday.

Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” “21 Jump Street”) the original 3D computer-animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as The Special, the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

The film rolls out an arsenal of fantastical new vehicles, enabling Emmet and his friends to evade or face their enemies on the city streets, on the sea, under the sea, or in outer space. It also introduces a cast of brand new heroes and villains, who interact with a diverse group of existing LEGO minifigures drawn from years of history and pop culture.

All of this wonderfulness comes together under the fantastic score of composer Mark Mothersbaugh who produced the soundtrack to the film, including the critically lauded single “Everything Is AWESOME!!!” featuring pop culture mainstays Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island.

Mothersbaugh has over 150 TV shows, film and video game scores under his belt, ranging from “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” to “Rushmore,” “Catfish” to “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Music fans of 80’s will also remember Mark and his iconic red energy dome hat and yellow haz-mat suit on stage, singing “Whip It” and “Working in the Coal Mine” as a founding member of the radical New Wave quartet Devo.

After THE LEGO MOVIE he also has several different projects in the works; there’s the prep for a long developed touring show at a half a dozen major museums across the country showcasing his art works, as well as the score for the much anticipated 22 JUMP STREET to be released in June.

Listen to some clips from the film’s soundtrack – arriving on February 11 through WaterTower Music. It’s available for pre-order on Amazon.

and my favorite…

THE LEGO MOVIE is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure.

Chris Pratt is the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell is the voice of President Business, aka Lord Business, an uptight CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life, and Liam Neeson is the voice of Lord Business’s loyal henchman, Bad Cop/Good Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.

Voicing the members of Emmet’s rebel crew on this heroic mission are Morgan Freeman as the ancient mystic Vitruvius; Elizabeth Banks as tough-as-nails Wyldstyle, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Wyldstyle shares a history; Nick Offerman as the craggy, swaggering pirate Metal Beard, obsessed with revenge on Lord Business; Alison Brie as the sweet and loveable Unikitty and Charlie Day as Benny, the 1980-something Spaceman.

See the movie in theaters Friday, February 7.
