Madagascar (Motion Picture Soundtrack)
A bouncy, genre-hopping 12-track album mixing Hans Zimmer's playful orchestral score with disco classics like 'Boogie Wonderland' and 'Stayin' Alive.' Nearly all of it is exuberant fun, with one track containing mild suggestive lyrics aimed at women.
Great for most ages; the singalong energy suits kids 3 and up, with one track parents of very young children may want to preview first.
Track by track
The lyrics of 'I Like to Move It' repeatedly address women's bodies in a flattering but mildly suggestive way, including the word 'sexy' in some lyric versions; no profanity and the overall tone is comedic and energetic.
This score cue, 'The Foosa Attack,' has an urgent, percussive predator-chase feel; it is very short (under a minute) but noticeably more tense than the rest of the album.
The opening of 'I Like to Move It' hits with a sudden loud bass drop after the gentle opening track; worth knowing if you have sound-sensitive little ones in the car.
