With the steady increase of cool music cred in kids' entertainment – with television shows like Yo Gabba Gabba featuring performances by The Shins, Ladytron and Of Montreal, and films like The Spongebob Squarepants Movie including songs by The Flaming Lips and Motörhead – it comes as no surprise that Icelandic popstar Björk has debuted a new song for an upcoming Swedish kids' film, Moomins and the Comet Chase. Moomins are adorably cute little hippopotamic trolls, famous amongst generations of Scandinavian children since their creation in the 1940s by author Tove Jannsen, who apparently drew the first ever Moomin to frighten her brother. In Moomins and the Comet Chase, the Moomins must go on a journey to find out about the big fiery comet soon to crash into Moominvalley. And hey, what better reminder that death will hurt an awful lot and must be avoided at all costs than a mostly percussive and lyrically-clunky track by Björk? 'The Comet Song', is, frankly, lyrical genius, with gold like "On our mission to save the world/ We need milk and cakes and a warm bed," and chorus of "Comet – oh dammit." Wow. When asked about her involvement in the film by BBC4, Björk explained the importance of the characters to her own world view: "Everybody's allowed to be just as eccentric as they are, they don't have to conform. Reading to my children I actually noticed some kind of anti-authority aspect in it - there's no hierarchy between the characters, they are all equal. I like that a lot." Perhaps some of us shouldn't be allowed to be just as eccentric as we are. Judge the track for yourself. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KLh8c-77ysA Moomins and the Comet Chase does not yet have an Australian release date.
