Karen O's soundtrack for Spike Jonze's adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are hits stores today.

The upcoming film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are is bound to dazzle folks of all ages, but the U.S. government is betting that Karen O's Wild Things soundtrack and footage from the movie will also jolt inactive kids off the sofa into a life of exercise and good health.

The instantly iconic trailer for Spike Jonze's adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are used Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" pretty much perfectly: The rising choruses and childlike background vocals sounded the way the movie looked, with Max in his wolf suit, cavorting with giant imaginary Maurice Sendak monster-puppets.

What has become something of indie rock folk lore over the past few years just became fact. Details have been released about Karen O's soundtrack for her ex-beau Spike Jonze's long-awaited film adaptation of Maurice Sendak classic Where the Wild Things Are, and its guest list is even better than the rumor mill suggested.
