Five versions of [[Wow-2|Wow]] were recorded, one of them using the music of [[Sexy M.F.]]. Two versions of [[Make Believe]] in the movie were made to appear at three different points in the movie : one by actress [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Kavner Julie Kavner] and the second by the ensemble cast. [[My Little Pill]] was also sung by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Kavner Julie Kavner], as was an early version of [[I Can't Love U Anymore]]. After a first test screening and sub-par reactions to her vocals, a second version of [[I Can't Love U Anymore]] was made with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Etheridge Melissa Etheridge]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Nolte Nick Nolte] re-recorded [[Be My Mirror]] as a duet with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittni_Wright Whittni Wright] who played the role of his young daughter in the movie.[[There Is Lonely]] and [[I'll Do Anything]] were sung by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Brooks Albert Brooks]. [[Prince]] was not involved in the re-recording sessions, which also comprised a medley of some of the songs and a track called DNG Groove (containing no input by [[Prince]]), which was placed as an intro for [[I Can't Love U Anymore]]. Two other songs without [[Prince]] input ("''This Lonely Life''" by [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin%C3%A9ad_O%27Connor Sinead O'Connor] and "''You Are The Best''" by [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_King Carole King]) also appeared in the first cuts of the movie but were not planned for the soundtrack album. |
After different test-screenings, and overwhelmingly negative reactions to the music, all production numbers from the film were cut, and the proposed album was canceled. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Brooks James L. Brooks] shot new scenes and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'll_Do_Anything I'll Do Anything] was released in 1994 as a satirical comedy-drama film and not a musical. Despite the new editing, the film was a commercial and critical failure. None of the songs [[Prince ]] wrote specifically for the movie were used in the film or the released original motion picture score, which is made of four instrumentals composed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Zimmer Hans Zimmer] and a track ("''You Are The Best''") written by [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_King Carole King] and sung by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittni_Wright Whittni Wright]. | After different test-screenings, and overwhelmingly negative reactions to the music, all production numbers from the film were cut, and the proposed album was canceled.
