Katharine McPhee Goes Back To 'American Idol' Roots With 'House Bunny' Sing-Along
Co-stars Anna Faris, Emma Stone also chime in on new version of '80s classic 'I Know What Boys Like' in August film.

By Larry Carroll

LOS ANGELES — Katharine McPhee has a new song coming out, but you won't be able to find the tune at your local record shop. It's a cover song of the 1982 classic "I Know What Boys Like," it has a "We Are the World"-worthy group of celebrities providing backing vocals, and you can hear it soon — at a theater near you.

"Yes, I will be singing, along with the other ladies," McPhee said of the track when we visited the set of her August 22 flick "The House Bunny," which back then was planning to name itself after the song. "[We'll] be bringing back an old song to life. It's a lot of fun."

For those unaware of the original track, "Boys" was a landmark in the '80s new-wave movement, recorded by Akron, Ohio, band the Waitresses. Mixing playful lyrics, jazz-influenced saxophone and a snotty "nyah-nyah" chorus, the track remains a mandatory inclusion on any '80s compilation. This time around, McPhee has updated the track alongside co-stars Anna Faris and Emma Stone.

"She does know," Faris teased her co-star. "We've confirmed it: She does know what boys like."

"We had a ton of fun in the studio, with the girls going in there and giving it their all," McPhee said. "It's very cute, so I had a blast. And it was a lot different than making a record. There was no pressure; it was just a fun thing."

The flick follows Shelly (Faris), a Playboy Bunny who gets tossed out of Hef's house and ends up becoming house mother to the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority girls. Once the makeovers are complete, the laughs have been had and the lessons are learned, the film's actresses engage in an impromptu music video, with McPhee's "Boys" providing the soundtrack.

"I actually didn't know the song," she explained of the Waitresses' original. "So I had to learn it."

"Not only do I sing it, but a bunch of the girls, we all went into the studio together," the former "American Idol" star explained. "That was another great memory. And Emma rapped!"

"We wrote it out," Stone responded, insisting she's no freestyler. "There'll be no rap album for me, I don't think. I think M.I.A.'s doing it well. If I could be a little more like M.I.A., then maybe I'd try to rap. But I'm going to stick to what I know."

Still, McPhee (who is making her acting debut in "House Bunny") insisted that the 19-year-old "Superbad" star holds her own on the track. "Emma was down with it; she was a really great rapper," McPhee explained, insisting that Stone was the new 50 Cent.

"I did channel him a little bit," she said. "I was a little 50 Cent-like. But I was more like 10 or five. I was, like, nickel."

Check out everything we've got on "The House Bunny."

There's a video as well. w00t.gif

I hope there will be a music video, maybe with the DVD?

A lively version of IKWBL, better than the original, to me. I'm sure Katharine could do anything this girl does... except that in the movie she's going to be very pregnant, so she probably can't.

Actually I like just about everything I've seen about this movie so far. It looks kind of silly but funny, and the characters seem likeable and engaging, which they'll have to be to get away with this much dumbness. But then Adam Sandler built a whole career on that.

Hey guys, I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, but I'm so glad he chose her for this movie and  I'm  REALLY looking forward to seeing her in this yes, probably "silly" movie. 

Katharine is her naturally adorable self in this video.  BTW.  notice that the girls were having  pedicures while giving this interview, LOL!

I think we all thought they might be doing this when they changed the name of the film for a while. I expect it will be part of the credit roll. Hopefully it will be released somehow. I think it is going to be very funny!

FYI - it took about 20 minutes on my computer to load that 1-minute interview...

...and that interview session appears to be from the same time as their last MTV clip from a few weeks ago, so it's not exactly hot off the presses. I kind of doubt the song will be released as a single, but it should be a lot of fun.
