In the summer of 1990, an all-star array of musical artists were asked to contribute original recordings for an upcoming benefit CD. Entitled\u00a0Every Child Deserves a Lifetime<\/em>, profits from the album sales benefited the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.<\/p>\n

The line-up was pretty amazing: the Disney-released CD (which you can still find available for sale<\/a> today) includes contributions from Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Barbara Streisand, Sting, Jackson Browne, Ann and Nancy Wilson, James Taylor, and more.<\/p>\n

And of course, it includes a track from Bruce Springsteen.<\/p>\n

When Bruce was asked to contribute in the summer of 1990, he had just become a brand-new parent. Evan was only an infant, and Bruce had already been singing “Pony Boy<\/a>” to him since before he was born.<\/p>\n

Bruce was seriously tempted to contribute “Pony Boy” to the Disney collection, but as we now know, he decided to save that one for his next album. Instead, he chose another song in heavy rotation in the Springsteen house: Nancy Cassidy’s “Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips.”<\/p>\n
