Somebody Slipped Me A Mickey:

Quick question:
Where do Tom Waits, The Replacements, James Taylor, Yma Sumac, Los Lobos, Bonnie Raitt, Syd Straw, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe, Sinead O'Conner, Buster Poindexter and Sun Ra all get together to express their love for vintage songs made popular by Walt Disney films?

Well, the answer is the STAY AWAKE compilation (originally released in 1988).
Thanks to visionary Hal Willner for giving us such a strange, delightful, and disturbing record.
Mind-boggling, on a few levels...even tho' it has it's pitfalls.

thanks for this. You've managed to dig up some truly BIZARRE recordings here. Mind-bending. Listening to Jun Tagaraw doing a j pop version of pachelbels canon right now, thanks to you. Thanks, to you!
