Juno (soundtrack)
Music from the Motion Picture Juno is the soundtrack for the 2007 film Juno. The album compiles mostly indie rock songs from the 2000s, and was released by Rhino Entertainment on December 11, 2007. It received enough critical and commercial success that other compilations and expanded re-releases have been released in subsequent years.
The album features several songs performed by Kimya Dawson and her bands Antsy Pants and the Moldy Peaches, due to a suggestion by lead actor Elliot Page:
At one point, I [director Jason Reitman] asked [Elliot] Page before we started shooting, 'What do you think Juno listens to?' And they said, 'The Moldy Peaches.' They went on my computer, played the songs, and I fell in love with it. [Screenwriter Diablo Cody] and I discussed putting a Moldy Peaches song in it where the characters would sing to each other. I got in touch with Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches and she started sending me her work, which was beautiful, and that became a lot of the soundtrack.
Initially, Reitman conceived of the character being a fan of glam rock, but rejected it as too inauthentic. He replaced this by scoring the film with Yo La Tengo, but got into contact with Dawson after listening to "Anyone Else but You". Dawson insisted on seeing the screenplay before allowing her songs to be in the film, after which she agreed to send Reitman a package of her solo albums to review.
The Michael Cera/Elliot Page cover of "Anyone Else but You" was recorded on the last day of filming on the streets of Vancouver, British Columbia. During rehearsal, Dawson coached the duo on how to perform it and thought "'Aw, man, they sing it better than us.' They sing it so cute."
The following songs appear in the film, but are not present on the soundtrack album:
The songs "Once I Loved" by Astrud Gilberto and "Besame Mucho" by Trio Los Panchos were included in the film, but not on the main soundtrack. Both selections would later appear on Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs.
In addition to some incidental score, the following were used in the trailers for the film, but do not appear on the soundtrack or in the movie itself:
