The Lego Movie Soundtrack



The Lego Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2014 computer-animated film The Lego Movie. It was released by WaterTower Music on February 4, 2014.[1] The album features original score composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, containing of about 23 tracks in the album. He recorded two scores for the film: an electronic and a 40-piece orchestral music, with more than 100 players working on the score. He arranged few synthesisers and circuit bent to make use of the electronic music created for the film,[2] which consisted of "bright, popping, almost frenetic music with an underpinning of emotional swells".[3]


The duo wrote the original song "Everything is Awesome" before the shooting of the film. In an interview with Fox News, Mothersbaugh says the song "was supposed to be like mind control early in the film. It's totally irritating, this kind of mindless mantra to get people up and working. It's like the whip crack on their back, but then by the end of the movie it morphs into, instead of being just a mindless, go-to-work song it becomes about co-operation and people working together to do bigger things."[9] He recorded several versions of the track which appears throughout the film in varying contexts. However, according to him, the version sung by The Lonely Island, was "one of his favourite".[8]

Featuring songs and an original score from painter, singer, and Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh (The Royal Tenenbaums, Pee Wee's Playhouse, Shameless, and House of Lies), the soundtrack for the computer-animated adventure-comedy Lego Movie, directed and co-written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, with whom Mothersbaugh worked on 2009's like-minded Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the 2012 big-screen comedy reboot of 21 Jump Street, features 28 '80s-infused, appropriately quirky cuts, and boasts four versions (including the Tegan and Sara-helmed flagship rendition) of the infectious earworm of a theme song "Everything Is Awesome."


The LEGO Movie's Original Score was composed by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh.The LEGO Movie soundtrack contains the score as the majority of its tracks.Also included is the theme song "Everything Is Awesome!!!" by Tegan and Sara featuring The Lonely Island, which has been critically praised and nominated for a Grammy.


The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part has an original soundtrack that is a pleasant surprise, definitely worthy of sitting alongside the best animated soundtracks that other, more established animation studios have to offer.


Everything may no longer be (quite as) awesome as when the first Lego Movie was released, but at the very least, we have a collaboration from perennial soundtrack contributor Beck, reigning pop deity Robyn and the lovable goofs behind The Lonely Island in support for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.


This movie shows a concept that has been in people's heads for years. It's a comic book type animation, with a realistic yet cartoon feel to the imagery. It is a great take on the Spider-Man story and the soundtrack is great.


This movie is the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time in Canada and the United States (141,854,300 estimated admissions). It achieved this rank for a reason! This movie is something that will draw you in and a film you will never forget.


This was a very popular movie for a reason! If you haven't seen it yet, grab the family and start this movie for an evening of laughs. Great voice acting accompanied by a fun soundtrack make a sure hit. 2ff7e9595c
