'Hay Un Amigo En Mi': Preview New Toy Story 3 Music en Español + Soundtrack News!

News

A brand new track from Toy Story 3 that certainly won’t get lost in translation makes its debut today!

The Gypsy Kings‘ (seen to the right) recording, "You’ve Got a Friend in Me (Para Buzz Español)", is a new rendition of the world famous Toy Story theme — as you might’ve guessed. Randy Newman’s famous lyrics are sung in Spanish with an accompanying Flamenco tune.

Give it a listen below, por favor:

The track above was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, by the way. I’m particularly excited about this little snippet from the soundtrack because I just knew that You’ve Got a Friend in Me would return in some way for ‘3’ as it did in part 2!

Lee Unkrich notes that ‘Para Buzz Español’ was made for the iconic Spanish Buzz scene, as previewed in the trailer. The (almost finished) version of Toy Story 3 that I got to see at Pixar did not include original music, so this is all new to me!

According to Disney, the Toy Story 3 Soundtrack will make its debut digitally on June 15th. No word on a physical copy — although Best Buy seems to have a pre-order up. Also of note, Amazon has ‘Toy Story Favorites’ CD for pre-order, featuring the best known TS tunes.
