When you're setting up an All-Star Cast, who says you have to stop at actors? The Pop-Star Composer is a famous musical figure, known primarily for their work with, well, popular music, who is hired by a movie, television, or video game studio to provide music and songs for their latest work. Think partially-or-completely washed-up rock stars and dueling divas. This is especially common for animated musicals—featuring lyrics and music by a famous songwriter seems a good way to draw audiences. If they already like Songwriter X, then they'll probably like the movie! Or so one hopes. Despite the trope title, the songwriter in question doesn't necessarily have to be an alumnus of the "pop" music genre—they just have to be known for performing something besides movie scores. This particular practice has been somewhat all-over-the-place since it first began. Earlier, Trope Making examples sprouted up in The '80s with examples such as David Bowie doing the songs for Labyrinth and Queen doing a lot of the music for movies such as Flash Gordon and Highlander (they did not do all the music for these films, however, as admirers of Howard Blake and Michael Kamen will attest). But animated movies in The '90s really codified this trope, with examples such as Elton John doing the songs for The Lion King. In particular, animated movies with this kind of musical casting are prone to Award Bait Songs and composers/performers who used to be kind of cool once. Ironically, the more mainstream and big-budget a live-action movie generally is, the less likely this trope will be used. With many Hollywood studios serving as corporate siblings of major record labels, "synergy" usually rears its head and a grab bag of artists from a label will be tapped to each provide a number for a movie soundtrack (it was common in The '90s to end TV ads with a list of performers who appeared on the soundtrack, no matter how briefly their work turned up in the actual film). Pop Star Composers usually work in animated features or smaller-scale films that aren't trying so hard to hit every potential radio market and can thus focus more on matching music to the moment. And before you ask: No, Danny Elfman does not count, though he was in a band. See also Cult Soundtrack. |

John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas wrote part of the score for The Man Who Fell to Earth. Interestingly, that film was David Bowie's first Non-Actor Vehicle, and he initially worked on a score with Paul Buckmaster, but for various reasons, it went unused and will probably never see the light of day, save for a backwards bass line that appears on one track of Low. A few years earlier Phillips wrote and performed several songs for Robert Altman's quirky comedy Brewster McCloud. Phillips was also a co-producer for the film. |

SEKAI NO OWARI wrote "Yoru no Tangentai" Pikotaro wrote "Pyon Pyon Animal Party". |

Almost all of the songs in Oliver & Company. "Once Upon a Time in New York City" was co-written by Barry Mann, "Why Should I Worry?" was written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight, "Streets of Gold" was written by Dean Pitchford and Tom Snow, and "Perfect Isn't Easy" was co-written by Barry Manilow. Bonus points for the first two of those songs being sung by songwriters themselves, Huey Lewis and Billy Joel (respectively), though neither of them wrote songs for the movie. | |

Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise was scored by former Yellow Magic Orchestra member Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of few soundtracks he did for an animated work. Studio Gainax hired him specifically to tie in with their intentions of making the film an animated Epic Movie, as YMO were one of the most famous bands in Japan, and by the time he was hired in 1986, he had already made a name for himself as an in-demand soundtrack composer. Tellingly, hiring Sakamoto required Gainax to increase the film's budget by ¥40 million. | |

Labyrinth featured a song score by David Bowie, who also played the main antagonist, the Goblin King (as well as a synth underscore by Trevor Jones). Contrary to the Nostalgia Chick's theory, Bowie was attracted to the project in part because he liked the idea of writing songs for a children's movie — it's just that some of them aren't that far removed from his usual output. | |

Ryuichi Sakamoto, whose scoring projects are normally films, also lent his skills to a few vido game projects too: Sakamoto composed the soundtrack of Tengai Makyou: Ziria, the first multimedia Eastern RPG, for the PC Engine CD. Sakamoto composed the Sega Dreamcast startup sound. The highly offbeat Sega Dreamcast game L.O.L.: Lack of Love was the product of an unusual collaboration between Ryuichi Sakamoto and obscure developer Love-de-Lic. |

There Will Be Blood (2007) has a soundtrack by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. Notably, it sounds nothing like Radiohead, but includes part of Greenwood's modernist orchestral work "Popcorn Superhet Receiver". He played the viola and studied classical composition years before becoming a guitarist, and it shows. Greenwood, a frequent collaborator of director Paul Thomas Anderson, has also scored Bodysong (2003), Norwegian Wood (2010), We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), The Master (2012), and Inherent Vice (2014). | |

The Emperor's New Groove was originally set to feature a whole arsenal of songs by Sting, but due to the movie undergoing a massive plot-shift in development, only two songs remain in the movie: Kuzco's facetiously-used theme song and the end credits Award-Bait Song, "My Funny Friend and Me." The rest of the songs can still be heard on the soundtrack album. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Masato Nakamura from the J-pop band Dreams Come True wrote the soundtracks for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Unfortunately, he held the rights to his music for the games, which left with him. The only music he didn't write was the drowning music and the chaos emerald jingle, which could and would be used for later titles. Michael Jackson was reportedly hired to compose for Sonic 3. Some members of Sonic Team claim Jackson's involvement was unofficial and happened without Sega's knowledge if it happened at all; others claim to have possession of a complete soundtrack's worth of demos from Jackson. How much of his work actually made it into the finished game is unknown. (The fact that several of the credited musicians, like Brad Buxer, actually worked for Jackson makes it even harder to guess.) Rumors abound, though, about suspiciously similar songs, stolen beats, and whole messes of trouble relating to the situation. Jun Senoue and his band Crush 40 wrote music for several of the 3-D games. R&B musician Akon remixed Dreams Come True's "Sweet Sweet Sweet" for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The final boss theme of Sonic and the Black Knight, "With Me", is performed by Emma Gelotte and Tinna Karlsdotter from All Ends, the lead guitar work is done by Marty Friedman from Megadeth. Jaret Reddick from Bowling for Soup performed "Endless Possibilities" from Sonic Unleashed. Sonic Colors had Alex Makhlouf of Cash Cash do the main theme. Later on, they and Circuit Freq did remixes for Sonic Generations. This goes all the way to Sonic Forces, where Douglas Robb of Hoobastank wrote and performed "Fist Bump". |

Jonathan Davis of Korn wrote the music and the words for Lestat's songs in Queen of the Damned (the novel had blatantly vampire songs; the film had more ambiguous ones). For contractual reasons, his vocal performances could be used in the film itself, but not on the official soundtrack album; instead, the album included versions of these songs performed by other well-known singers (Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy). | |

Arthur (1981) was originally going to feature an entire underscore by soft rock performer Christopher Cross, but precisely because he'd never scored a movie, the filmmakers went with Burt Bacharach instead. Cross, Bacharach, and the latter's then-collaborator Carole Bayer Sager (who integrated a line from an unrecorded song she'd written with Peter Allen) went on to write the Award-Bait Song "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" together, which won the Best Original Song Oscar and remains one of Cross's most popular songs. | |

Batman (1989) had songs by Prince (although they aren't nearly as prominent in the film as Danny Elfman's score - some of the songs on the Prince album aren't even in the film). The sequels weren't as beholden to a single pop star; Batman Returns had Siouxsie and The Banshees provide one number, and the Joel Schumacher-helmed entries had a jumble of artists provide songs (Nick Cave, Seal, U2, The Smashing Pumpkins, etc.). | |

Indie pop musician Owen Pallett (session violinist / string arranger on albums by Arcade Fire and others, and has some solo albums) composed part of the music to Traffic Department 2192 (specifically, the songs "Menu", "Vulture", "Intro 2", and "Death"), about 8 years before his earliest recorded music. | |

Speaking of Cat Stevens, he supplied the music for Harold and Maude. The film included two new songs "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" and "Don't Be Shy" and alternate versions of "Trouble", "On the Road to Find Out", "I Wish, I Wish", "Miles from Nowhere", "Tea for the Tillerman", "I Think I See the Light", and "Where Do the Children Play?". None of the new material made it onto the 1972 soundtrack, which only used previously released recordings. Elton John was originally asked, but turned it down and suggested Cat instead. |

FLCL featured music from the j-rock band The Pillows, in somewhat of an inversion of this trope — the studio picked the band because they thought their sound fit the series rather than for marketing reasons, and their involvement in FLCL actually caused a popularity bump for The Pillows, rather than the other way around. In addition, most of the music used in FLCL was stuff The Pillows had already recorded — only two songs were actually created specifically for the series, though those two songs ("Ride on Shooting Star" and "I Think I Can") are featured prominently, as the Ending Theme and arguably the series' main theme, respectively. | |
