Hooray Bad: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

***Hooray Bad: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack*** is the soundtrack to the 2002 film *Hooray Bad*. It was released on June 4, 2002 by Cayone Records on on CD and audio cassette. The songs are connected by spoken interludes (recorded by the show's voice cast) to form a loose storyline in which the girls mobilize to stop Mojo Jojo from destroying Townsville. Each band wrote a song about a character, each of them based on "an assignment regarding which part of the story their song would illustrate." Craig McCracken said: "I love these bands, and listening to their work inspires my work. Each song on the album focuses on a different aspect of *The Powerpuff Girls*, and together they tell a story. From Townsville in danger to the day finally being saved". Although David Byrne recorded a song titled "Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles Say" along with his daughter Malu, who wrote the lyrics, the track was left out of the album.

### Music from the film that does not appear on the soundtrack

* The music playing on Neo's headphones ("Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack) when he is contacted by Trinity.
* "Plasticity" by Plastikman aka Richie Hawtin, when Neo meets Trinity at the night club.
* The background music when Neo fights Morpheus in the sparring program (Don Davis' "Bow Whisk Orchestra" [an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"], combining semi-improvisational drumming, Lunatic Calm's mix of "Leave You Far Behind", and Davis' "Switch or Break Show" [also an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"]. The version of "Leave You Far Behind" found in the soundtrack is the original album one, not the movie mix.).
* The music from *Night of the Lepus* that can be heard from the television set in the Oracle's living room is "Begin the Run" written by Jimmie Haskell.
* The faint music that can be heard when Neo meets the Oracle is of 1930s jazz origin - "Minor Swing" by guitarist Django Reinhardt is followed by composer Duke Ellington's "I'm Beginning to See the Light".
* A track from "The Eyes of Truth", by the musical project Enigma, was used for the movie's worldwide trailer.
* A track similar to "The Eyes of Truth" titled "The Conquest of Truth" composed and recorded by Paul Hanson for Music Junkies was used for the DVD main menu.
* A track titled "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do", a collaboration between the groups Filter and The Crystal Method, was used for the theatrical trailer of the movie. This track can be found on the *Spawn* soundtrack album.
* None of the orchestral score in the movie was used in the original soundtrack (OST); parts of it received a separate release as *The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score*.
