Randy Newman’s CDD tribute song.
While
Randy made things sing on screen with his Award winning songs for CDD, he was
apparently all too aware of the management ‘fun’ behind the scenes. The
result was a ragtime styled song called “ Laugh and be Happy” – an
expression of his empathy for the animators of CDD. This song is not featured on
the CDD soundtrack, but is part of his 4 CD box set “Guilty : 30 Years of
Randy Newman” (demo version, #31 on disc 3).
It can also be found on Randy Newman's new 2008 album, “Harps
and Angels”.

As I
looked at this impressive list of tracks, I have to say I was a little disappointed to
not see even ONE song from Cats Don’t Dance. I think can’t help but think
“ Tell Me Lies” deserved to be there. A
special thanks to 'Manicknux' for the song material and Xy for the engineering
the clip.
