Not sure if this is the right place for this, but what songs make you think of characters or situations from the movie? Here are a few I've thought of: For Flint, "Some Fantastic" by Barenaked Ladies, for all the things he's invented (and also the chorus fits for the early part of the movie) For Brent, "Close to You" by The Carpenters. I can easily see his mom singing this to him when he was young. Also for Brent, "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, for when the gets going and Brent sees his fame going down the tubes. This one's a little more obscure, but for the Mayor, "Me and My Town" from the musical Anyone Can Whistle fits almost perfectly, since it's sung by a mayor(ess) about her town, which is in a depression and "needs a little renown."

Some Fantastic sounds cool, can you provide the lyrics if u can? XD Man, almost all the songs on my ipod fit for CWACOM, can't choose just one XD But if I could pick 2 for Flint, they would be I'm Still Here from Tresaure planet(me and Vivz are making a colab MV with that song for Flint) and Proud of your Boy, the deleted song from Alladin(sp?) XD If you change "mom" in the song to "dad" and vice versa, it makes a nice song for Flint to sing to his dad, BUT if you keep the orignal lyrics, it makes a very moving song from Flint to the spirit of his mom, almost like a prayer -Cody The Maverick

Definitely "I'm Still Here" as mentioned by Cody beforehand.
Hrmmm, "Still Alive" from the end of the Portal game reminds me a little bit of Flint. It is about science after all. And cake.
Ahh, besides those two, I don't have very many songs that remind me of the characters of CwacoM. It's a shame.

Well theres Raining Sunshine but thats obvious!
Probably "We Are Golden" by Mika, dunno why, probably cause I started to listen to that song alot after I saw the movie.

This just came up on my pandora station: Closed For Renovations from Little Shop of Horrors, which made me think of Swallow Falls' renovation into Chewandswallow. "We're closed for decoration 'Cause fortune has been smiling So now we're due for painting New plumbing and re-tiling."

The song "Silly Dreamer" from the Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Dreams movie works so well as a song for when Flint gives up and throws himself away and then his dad snaps him out of it. Flint:
Tim:
Memory of Fran: To believe in your dreams, first you have to believe in yourself.
Flint:
I'm also rather amused by the idea of Young Brent singing "Not Like Me" (from the episode "The Costume Party"), although it's a little too plot-specific to really fit. But still, some parts really work, with a gendertweak. "He's much too strange, and he's not like me!"

@ Evalana, Ha, I remember that costume party episode! I loved that song! To be honest, I think the song "I Wish" from The Care Bears Big Wish Movie fits pretty good for Flint, if you change some of the lyrics... When you think about it, the entire plot of Big Wish Movie seems to fit the plot of CWACOM, with Flint as Wish bear, his past inventions as Twinker's "haywire" wishes, the as Twinker's "big wish", and the raining food as the 3 new bears. After a while, the raining food and the new bears both start causing problems(the raining food starts getting bigger from too many requests, the 3 bears ruin Care-a-lot with too many wishes) and in both, everyone has to "band together" to save their homes using elements from the past(the flying car and the spray on shoes, the rainbow sap) and even the explosion of the heart cloud at the end of Big Wish looks simlar to the explosion at the end of CWACOM -Cody The Maverick

"Remember Me This Way" by Jordan Hill "Nothing I've Ever Known" by Bryan Adams "Don't Let Go by Bryan Adams (feat. Sarah McLachlan) These makes me think of Flint and Sam.

Well, I went ahead and rewrote "Not Like Me" to fit if Little Brent were singing it about Little Flint. Since there's a second voice to it, I imagine that it's being sung by Brent and his teacher, who is trying to get Brent to stop picking on Flint, since it's starting to disturb the class. You can hear/watch the original song here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc_Dfbja1vsBrent: Not like me He's not like me The problem with this kid Is that he's not like me He'd even take this song And sing it differently But worst of all He's not like me His crazy plans just get my goat My tracksuit's so much better Than his dumb labcoat And clothing should not stay On indefinitely He's much too strange And he's not like me Teacher: If everybody was the same How boring life would be How glad I am that you're like you And he's like he He's so extraordinary Like a breath of fresh air Brent: I'd say he was scary That's if I could care Don't like his dress His hair's a mess I'm not a fan of what he makes I must confess He's taking all my friends away Deliberately He wants to make them Not like me Teacher: Our class would be so wonderful If you two could see Brent: If he went away Then I'd be happy as can be Teacher: You could get along Brent: But he's still he Teacher: There's no right or wrong Brent: We'd always disagree Oh, why can't you be you And I'll be me Teacher: Soon you would see Brent: I guarantee Teacher: You could agree Brent: He'd still be he Instead of being more A little more like me

Sound The Bugle from Spirit fits for Flint when he throws himself away, and one verse in particular fits for when he gets his lab coat back: "Then from on high, somewhere in the distance, there's a voice that calls, remember who you are, if you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow, so be strong tonight, remember who you are" Many of the songs by Simple Plan fit Flint in various situations: Welcome to my Life---his life at the begining of the flim (I'm sorry, I can't be)Perfect---his relationship with his dad Untitled(how could this happen to me?)---when he throws himself away Me against the world---his personality from when he gets his coat back to the end of the film EDIT: There's this awesome song in the european musical HONK(think The Ugly Duckling on stage) called Different, and it fits awesome for Flint, and after changing some plot specific lyrics, it now fits Flint totaly! You can find the orignal song here: www.youtube.com/user/honkjr(slightly modified)Lyrics:if they knew, i know i'm destined for something more but its true, im an inventor down to the core...
im just different, im just different from the rest, and who can blame them wanting me to stop what i do best but different isnt naughty, different isnt bad so why should being different make me sad?
i'm just different, they're like peas from the same pod, no wonder they make fun of me, life's harder when you're odd, but different isnt scary, different is no threat and though i'm still one of them, they forget,
i have no choice to be this way, but do i want to be unique? im a truly great inventor, but my sardine skills are weak there's a runt in every litter, one black sheep in every flock but when you know it's you, somehow, your ego takes a knock
i'm just different, but i have a sense of pride my acts may well be funny, but i hurt the same inside different isn't spiteful, different isn't wrong so why is it so hard to just belong? All I want is to just belong...
different isn't hateful, different could be swell, different, is, just, well... ...different. EDIT-2X: In the musical, there's a pre-reprise of this song sung by the mama duck, and I changed that version as well to be sung by Tim(and Flint would overhear) Modified lyrics for pre-reprise, sung by Flint's dad:What a son, not afraid to be a nonconform, in this town, they have always been more uniform...
he's just different, he's just different from the rest, he dosen't want to work sardines, inventing is his quest he's just a freak of nature, just a smarter mind, a true outsider among his own kind..
he's just different... but there's different.... and there's DIFFERENT....-Cody The Maverick

Despite being the wrong gender, "Science Genius Girl" by Freezepop could fit for Flint, especially earlier on in his life. You can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nFooCj2XWI"I'm a science genius girl I won the science fair I wear a white lab coat DNA strands in my hair When I clone a human being It will want to hold my hand When I clone a human being It will be a member of my band."

Hrmmm, "Still Alive" from the end of the Portal game reminds me a little bit of Flint. It is about science after all. And cake. I've been listening to this song a bit lately, and it actual would work for the after it's destroyed. I mean, lines like: "Even though you broke my heart. And killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire." and "Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist." really fit, y'know?

thought of quite a few...
Go the distance from Disney's Hercules Zero to Hero from Hercules Bet on it from HSM2 Scream from HSM3 Here I am from Camp rock This is me from Camp rock I'm still here from Disney's treasure planet(made a vid with this) I just can't wait to be king from the lion king(maybe, when you think about it) Push it to the limit from Jump In Different by Acceptance I Believe by Yolanda Adams Where the dream takes you from Disney's Atlantis Reach for the light from Balto
might think of more later...
