Singer-songwriter Randy Newman has charmed audiences with his sweet songs and scores featured on the soundtracks of Disney/Pixar movies such as A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Cars and the Toy Story trilogy. Who doesn't get a warm feeling after listening to "You've Got a Friend In Me"?

But Newman isn't a simple sentimentalist. On his non-movie albums, he has a penchant for creating satirical ("Short People") and political ("A Few Words in Defense of Our Country") tunes, and sometimes that sneaks into his flim work. Just look at these three rejected songs Newman wrote for this summer's Toy Story 3.
1. "We Are The Kids Who Give Your Kids A Buzz"

Disney/Pixar
What it's about Visit a Malaysian sweat shop filled with overworked child laborers for this rousing showstopper that the children perform while constructing gross after gross of Buzz Lightyear figures by hand in a choreographed spectacle of industry.

Sample lyrics 
We're a toilin', toilin', toilin'
For your kids you are a'spoilin'
We work 'round the clock for no wages
And no one cares about our ages
The foreman's got a gun
But it's in the name of affordable fun
We are the kids who give your kids a Buzz!

2. "It's Not a Doll, It's an Action Figure"

Disney/Pixar
What it's about A tender ballad by Al the Toy Collector about his struggle with his hobby and his own growing feelings for his Morticia Addams doll collectible.

Excerpted lyrics
Don't they know, Lion-O, that you're built for action
Like Lone Ranger, Boba Fett or Kung-Fu Grip Snake Eyes
You're play goal is to put sissy toys into traction!
But why is my gaze pulled to your creamy, plastic thighs
Oh, Morticia, you're my one ... true ... SATISFACTION! 

3. "Things You Can Never Unsee"

Disney/Pixar
What it's about The toys jam on this funky coming-of-age track about watching helplessly as Andy discovers the wonders of Internet porn.

Excerpted lyrics
(Woody) What's Andy watching in HD
(All) Things you can never unsee!
(Buzz) My, oh, my, those three are friendly
(All) Things you can never unsee!
(Slinky Dog) Holy cow, that guy's as long as me!
(All) Things you can never unsee!
(Buzz and Woody) Andy, Andy, come over to your shelf
Play with us before you start playing with yourself!
(All) Things you can never unsee!
