Ted 2012 Movie Song List Soundtrack

Ted 2012 is the raucous new film hit of the summer, directed by Family Guy supremo Seth McFarlane and starring Mark Wahlberg. Not only is it a rollicking good comedy but the soundtrack to the movie features some great new music composed especially for the film, alongside some fantastic toe tapping pop and rock classics.

The main soundtrack score for the film has been composed by Walter Murphy, the American musician who's probably most famous for creating a disco adaptation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony called "A Fifth of Beethoven" in 1976.

Murphy was a natural choice for Seth McFarlane to use given that he'd composed much of the music for American Dad and Family Guy. The album to accompany the movie features the following original tracks composed by him:

The Power of Wishes

Thunder Buddies for Life

John & Lori at Work / A Walk in the Park

Magical Wish

Rex`s Party (Everybody Needs a Best Friend)

The Breakup

Never Be Scared of Thunder Again

Ted is Captured / Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Car Chase / Fenway Pursuit

Climbing the Tower / She`s Your Buddy Now

Saving Ted /Lori`s Wish

The Proposal / The Wedding

End Titles

Alongside Murphy`s original score are some more well known tracks from musical luminaries famous on both sides of the Atlantic that span almost four generations of music making:

Everybody Needs a Best Friend - Norah Jones

Flash's Theme - Queen

Sin - Daphne

Only Wanna Be With You - Hootie and the Blowfish

Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

All Time High (From the Motion Picture Octopussy) - Rita Coolidge

I Think We're Alone Now - Tiffany

Bands like Hootie and The Blowfish and Queen are very popular amongst people who want to learn electric or acoustic guitar because of their strong use of clever chord structures and melodies. It`s only natural therefore, that hearing the soundtrack to a great movie like this often ends up as an inspiring way to get into composing and writing your own music and lyrics, or even just having a go at recreating the sounds of your favourite bands and covering their classic hits. Visiting professional and properly equipped music stores such as Dawsons Music are a great way to get to grips with learning a new instrument or for the more accomplished musician who might want to learn one of the songs featured in the vibrant and exciting soundtrack to Ted 2012!
