Baz Luhrmann's modern-day musical weaves new cover versions of songs from the past three decades into one story about a brothel in turn of the century Paris. The soundtrack bounces back and forth between hip, modern tracks and big Broadway-style ballads. Some of the most well-respected names in music signed on for the project, including Beck, Bono, Timbaland, and David Bowie. Fatboy Slim created a "Can-Can" for the next generation with "Because We Can," and Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Pink, and Mya teamed up a naughtier version of Patti Labelle's "Lady Marmalade." Elsewhere on the album, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman perform big-voiced, orchestra-backed versions of sentimental favorites like Elton John's "Your Song."
