“He’s the sovereign lord of the nation, he’s the hippest dude in creation, he’s a hep cat in the emperor’s new clothes.”
On November 14, 2000, the soundtrack to the 40th animated feature, The Emperor’s New Groove, was released through Walt Disney Records. The album features songs by Sting, Eartha Kitt, Rascal Flatts, and Tom Jones, with a score by John Debney. Many of the songs on the album were written for the first treatment of the film, known as The Kingdom of the Sun. When the film went under rewrites, many of the songs were dropped, but were still included on the soundtrack. The song “My Funny Friend and Me” by Sting was nominated for an Academy Award, but lost to Bob Dylan’s “Things Have Changed” from the film Wonder Boys.
