“Funny People”? What? That’s so two weeks ago! Yes, you’re so over the Judd Apatow dramedy that was too long and for some people too serious (the guy who called it pretentious kind of made us laugh though, what?). And it’s only made a paltray $43 million off a $75 million dollar budget so far. Uh oh.
Regardless, we already unveiled the soundtrack credits of the CD — tastefully curated dad rock we must say — and revealed that Jon Brion (scores for ‘Eternal Sunshine,’ “Punch Drunk Love,” etc.) produced the tracks of which “Funny People” star Adam Sandler sang (Neil Young, John Lennon and Ringo Starr covers, though not all of them in the film, some were bonus cuts). Plus the fact that both Jason Schwartzman and Michael Andrews (who composed the score to Apatow’s “Walk Hard“) were credited with providing the score (at first it was thought to be just Schwartman on his own).
And more than a few people have asked, “what’s the song in the film?,” “what’s this track, etc., etc.” We’re not going to spend all day answering your questions (sorry, we love you, but…), however we will provide you with the basic info at hand. Here’s all the music featured in “Funny People.” If we woulda received proper credits from Universal we would basically have them in order of the film’s appearance, but alas, we’re just a silly blog and not a real website apparently.
