Everything Is AWESOME!!! (feat. The Lonely Island)

This song was performed by the Canadian identical twins Tegan and Sara Quin as the theme song for The Lego Movie, whilst musical comedy trio The Lonely Island delivered the rap breakdown. To the delight of parents accustomed to biding their time through dreadful movies their kids like, the film was very entertaining for both generations. Adults picked up on the Orwellian themes, as the evil ruler of Bricksburg (not-so-subtly named "Lord Business") keeps the citizens in line with a propaganda campaign that includes this song - the only one allowed to play. Tegan and Sara were asked to "sound as jubilant as possible" to give the song a vibe that is so euphoric it's creepy.

This was written by the soundtrack composer Shawn Patterson (El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera), Canadian singer-songwriter Joshua Bartholomew, and Los Angeles rock musician Lisa Harriton who has toured with The Smashing Pumpkins as their keyboardist and back-up vocalist. The song was produced by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh.

Tegan Quin went into the studio with Mothersbaugh to record the song's main vocals, while Sara sent in backing vocals from her apartment. The Lonely Island delivered their rapped contribution separately.
