A.k.a. "Judd Apatow's Midlife-Crisis Mixtape." The director's quasi-autobiographical film about lurching into your fifth decade has a fitting soundtrack – mostly singer-songwriters, mostly dudes, kind of fuddy-duddy. It's as carefully curated as a Wes Anderson soundtrack, from the chestnuts (Paul McCartney's "Lunch Box/Old Sox") to the few originals (Fiona Apple's sprightly but vicious "Dull Tool"). Top billing goes to Seventies star Graham Parker, who gets two new songs and plays himself in the movie.   

“Everyday People”

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
