Happiness is ... celebrity voices

Not every track is memorable, but the positive, kid-celebrating messages and sunny spirit in Buena Vista Records’ star-studded CD “A World of Happiness” can’t be beat.

The collection ($18.98; www.DisneyRecords. com) of original pieces from HyLo Productions, subtitled “Fun Songs & Poems of Joy Performed by Favorite Celebrities” (reminiscent of the feel-good 1970s soundtrack “Free to Be ... You and Me”), is written to be adult-friendly too, and its celeb factor is high indeed: Lou Rawls, Deborah Harry, Isaac Hayes, Samuel L. Jackson, Jane Kaczmarek, Rosanna Arquette and Magic Johnson, to name a few. (Net proceeds of CD sales will benefit multiple charities.)

Participants Kaczmarek (“Malcolm in the Middle”), hubby Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing”), Grammy-nominated Lisa Loeb and George Wendt (“Cheers”) will appear at the CD launch party on Saturday at Storyopolis, which will include poetry readings, a sing-along, a “Jiggles” dance lesson and a screening of the music video from the CD, “The Patience Bossa,” directed by Gary Oldman and starring Perry Farrell and Deborah Harry.
