Our Town (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Our Town" is an Academy Award-nominated and Grammy Award-winning song used in the 2006 Pixar film Cars. It was composed by longtime Pixar contributor Randy Newman, and performed by James Taylor.
The song is a ballad that recounts the economic decline of the fictional town of Radiator Springs after the creation of Interstate Highway 40.
At the 49th Grammy Awards (given on February 11, 2007) the song won the award for Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. The same night, Newman's work for Cars won for Music in an Animated Feature Production, at the 34th Annual Annie Awards.
