Rockin' The Suburbs (song) - Over The Hedge Remake

Over The Hedge Remake

In 2006, Folds rewrote this song for the animated movie Over the Hedge, with film co-star William Shatner providing vocals during part of the song. Shatner does the voice for Ozzie the Opossum, who encourages his daughter (voice by Avril Lavigne) to play dead in threatening situations.

While the new version features none of the swearing and parodies of the original, Folds makes some very pointed barbs at the concept of suburbia in the song, including jabs at homeowner associations and driving long distances to work.

This version of the song was also featured in the film Marley & Me.
