oundtrack trivia

*Several songs are featured in the film but do not appear on the soundtrack, including "Starálfur" by Sigur Rós, and some of Seu Jorge's performances of David Bowie songs. A more complete compilation of Seu Jorge's performances can be found on "The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions Featuring Seu Jorge" (released by Hollywood Records on November 22, 2005). The Criterion Collection release of the movie also features his performances on the second disc marked "supplements."
*The song "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" by Mark Mothersbaugh contains the melody of "Scrapping & Yelling" played backwards. "Scrapping & Yelling" is a song that Mothersbaugh created and was featured previously in Wes Anderson's film "The Royal Tenenbaums". Mothersbaugh muses that this was for "good luck".
*Some songs were featured in The Lonely Island's failed "Awesometown" pilot. Mothersbaugh is one of Jorma Taccone's influences.
*Though Devo member Mark Mothersbaugh has scored all of Wes Anderson's films except for "The Darjeeling Limited", this is the first to actually include a Devo song ("Gut Feeling").
*The song "Ceremony" by New Order appears in the trailer for the film, but not in the film itself nor on the soundtrack album.
