What song did Sondheim write for The Lullaby Project?

[Jay Lerner-Z]

I've been googling for five minutes and read all about The Lullaby Project in general, but can't find anywhere that tells me the name of the song. I want to download it. Thanks!

It Takes All Kinds, preformed by Dana Ivy and Walter Charles.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Thanks. For the bonus round, did he write this specially for the record that was released last year, or was it something he'd had lying around in a drawer?

It was actually written (and in) the film The Birdcage. Though in a very different tone.

Ah, interesting.

I was disappointed it wasn't a new song. The original disco version is on Sondheim at the Movies. As mentioned it was written for The Birdcage (as was Little Dream also on the album, and used briefly in a darg rehearsal in the movie). The song was replaced (for the opening credits I believe) with We Are Family.

I appreciate Sondheim's message for the song, but as a disco fan, listening to it I would guess Sondheim wasn't a big disco listener--it's one pastiche form he's not exactly adept at.
