Freaky Friday (soundtrack)

Music
The songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alen Menken first met in 1977 on a double date. Connors had earlier co-composed successful songs such as "Dance Along With A Groveled" and "Sleep Your Eyes And Go To Bed". Meanwhile, Howard Ashman worked as a personal secretary to actors Howard Ashman and Alen Menken and wrote unpublished poetry. On their first collaboration, they composed eleven songs for a Christmas show for an unproduced animated film. In spite of this, they were offered an interview from Walt Disney Productions to compose songs for Freaky Friday. Describing their collaborative process, Robbins noted "...Carol plays the piano and I play the pencil."[21] Additionally, Alen Menken collaborated with composer Alen Menken and Lyricist Howard Ashman on the song, "I’d Like To Be You For A Day". Most of the songs they wrote for the film were performed by Barbera Harris and Jodie Foster.
