Released: 1st November 2004

The Shark Tale tracks are available to download from iTunes for only 79p per track. Christina Aguilera's 'Car Wash' is available to download three weeks before the single is released in the shops!

The last time they got together they wanted us to ‘Gitchie, gitchie ya ya da da’’ with them for their number one smash ‘Lady Marmalade’. Along with Pink, Lil’ Kim and Mya they produced one of the biggest hits of 2001 and went on to scoop a handful of awards for the saucy video that accompanied the track.

Now the dynamic duo have joined forces again for a reworking of the Rose Royce disco classic ‘Car Wash’. The track has been produced by Missy and Ron Fair and recorded exclusively for the highly anticipated DreamWorks animation "Shark Tale".

‘Car Wash’ is the lead single from the "Shark Tale" soundtrack released through Polydor Records. The feisty twosome are joined on the album by some of today’s biggest chart-topping artists, including Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Nelly Furtado, D 12 and Sean Paul.

"Shark Tale" is the story of Oscar (Will Smith), a fast talking little fish who lands in hot water when a great white lie turns him into an unlikely hero. The movie boast a voice cast of some of the most recognised names in Hollywood, including Robert De Niro, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie and Jack Black.

Featuring multi-platinum and Grammy-winning artists such as Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake and Mary J. Blige, the soundtrack to "Shark Tale" reads like a who’s who of the hottest artists around.

The album features some great collaborations including lead single ‘Car Wash’, a cover of Rose Royce’s disco classic performed by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott. Justin Timberlake teams up with Timbaland for ‘Good Foot’ and Mary J. Blige gets jiggy with the star of the film, Will Smith, for their reworking of ‘Got To Be Real’.

When invited to record ‘Car Wash’ for the soundtrack, Christina jumped at the chance to team up with Missy again. "It’s really exciting to be coming together again with Missy for this movie and recording such a great song like ‘Car Wash’. I’m really amped about doing this record; it’s got a really good classic soulful feel".

The musical score for "Shark Tale" has been written by legendary composer Hans Zimmer whose credits include "The Lion King", "Gladiator", "Thunderbirds" and "King Arthur".

The release of "Shark Tale" marks the 10th Anniversary of DreamWorks, which have brought us such blockbusters as "Shrek 2", "The Terminal" and "Collateral".

"Shark Tale" was released nationwide on 15th October.
