‘The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part’ Debuts Its “Catchy” Theme Song

If you had a love/hate relationship with “Everything is Awesome,” The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part has offered up a new song that’s the sequel’s answer to that annoying, peppy tune. If you had a love/hate relationship with “Everything is Awesome,” prepare to wrap your ears around “Catchy Song.” The sequel’s theme song promises – over and over again – that “this song is gonna get stuck inside your head.”
