They forgot Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers. And every other tweenybopper music source to include with what they have so far.
I don’t see any “teeny boppers” up there. But ok. 🙂
I thought that it would be an Italian song for the Porto Corsa scene: a France song, a Japanese song, but not an Italian song???
Dang Pixar, you guys know some good music from Japan. That “Polyrhythm” was a catchy song on this TV commercial. It’s about recycling. You know how to pick ‘em.

weezer is a teeny bopper band, as is perfume and robbie williams. Brad Paisly is a country yodler.
Weezer is a teeny bopper band? Since when? 1995 when they first came out? 16 years ago! Kids born then are teeny boppers now.
How closed minded and out of touch are you?
