Freaky Friday Soundtrack CD

The old adage about things staying the same the more they change is handily borne out by 2003's FREAKY FRIDAY, the remake of a 1976 film starring Jodie Foster where a young girl and her mother mysteriously change identities. A full generation down the road, Jodie Foster was old enough to play the mother, but the role was taken by Jamie Lee Curtis, and the daughter became rising actress/singer Lindsay Lohan. It's doubtful that there was a soundtrack to the original film, but in the age of pop music/film tie-ins, the new movie is filled to the brim with pop-punk by the likes of Simple Plan, American Hi-Fi, and the Donnas. A few old chestnuts, like the Turtles' "Happy Together" and the Romantics' "What I Like About You," are given a tough new sheen, Lohan makes her recording debut, and even the late punk king Joey Ramone gets represented, via a version of the Louis Armstrong hit "What a Wonderful World."

Original score composed by Rolfe Kent.
