As summer nears, so do the releases of animated films featuring pretty darn cute creatures, like the wide-eyed WALL•E and chubby Kung Fu Panda. But Jack Black and Cee-Lo Green are one-uppping the robot film in the name of martial arts bears everywhere. How are they doing it? With a cover of Carl Douglas' 1974 karaoke staple "Kung Fu Fighting," of course.
"It was inspiring and an honor to have the opportunity to reintroduce the record to a brand new audience, sprinkled with a little of me on top," Green said. The soul-singing half of Gnarls Barkley has appeared on over a dozen soundtracks, including Snakes on a Plane and Rush Hour 3.
In addition to Black, the star-studded cast includes David Cross, Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen and Dustin Hoffman. The song and full soundtrack will be digitally distributed a week before the film hits the big screen on June 6.
