Californication Soundtrack: Danielle Duval, De La Soul, Chaka Khan, and Poets & Pornstars

"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT"   DANIELLE DUVAL

From the Californication soundtrack, an incredible new interpretation of the ultimate John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John song.  Imagine the Grease Soundtrack classic redone with a slow-burn tempo, heartfelt and emotionally drawn out to build the intensity.  The singer is from Montreal and hasn't hit it big but this cover is incredible.

"IT'S ALL GOOD"  DE LA SOUL WITH CHAKA KHAN

One of the 80's old school jazz rap pioneers team up with the ten time Grammy winner, Chaka Khan, for an unlikely party jam collaboration released for the new 2000 Millenium.    De La Soul isn't known for their club music and adding in Chaka's voice pushed this song to a new level.  De La Soul is still around and hit #1 six years later with Gorillaz on Feels Good Inc.

"MONKEY"   POETS and PORNSTARS

Released in 2007, the lead singer is an actor named Hal Ozsan, their sound is LA Strip down and dirty rock and roll like Buckcherry, and even though everyone seemed to like their vibe, they were a one and done band.   This video features a cameo by Rachael Leigh Cook and Trish from MTV's Real World.   "In The Dark" is their best song but no video on YouTube.
