it's all the music supervisor... they're on the movie company end. They call artist management about being on the soundtrack... or artist management calls music supes about being on anything that the supe is working on.

That's cool!

And Jennifer Saunders?
WTF?
Is she in the movie or something?

frou frou is covering 'holding out for a hero,' perhaps most known for its prominent placement in the epochal film, short circuit 2.

and yep--jennifer saunders is a fairy godmother!
